Mine 14.2 cob has gone down a rug size since last year. She was in 6'3 when we first got her but with loosing weight and getting fitter she has gone to a 6'0.

Thanks all. The reason this pony is so special to us is in January this year my daughter had a bad accident on her previous pony and broke her foot in 5 places. There was a time i thought she might give up riding but then we got the chance to loan Angel and she has been an angel, she is only 5...

A piccie :)

It was really hard and kept telling her she wasnt getting her and even told her before we went the farm to make the most of her first xmas with Angel because the owner might take her back next year lol. I think i convinced myself she wasnt ours until i saw her face this morning.

Hi all We have had a pony on loan for the last six months. When i asked my daughter what she wanted for xmas she said Angel (pony). I have been telling her since she asked that i couldnt afford her but we would save up and buy her next year. I secretly bought her a couple of months ago...

My christmas will consist of waking daughter up about 7.30 (she's 12 and doesnt do excited anymore) watch her unwrap presents. Have breakfast. Go up to the yard about 9.30 and present her with her main present. The pony we have had on loan for the last 6months is now hers. She will be wearing a...

Boots have some lovely Joules toiletries on offer at the moment, what about something for them to pamper themselves with instead of the horse. Thats what im getting our riding instructor because she gets lots for her horse off other people...

Hi all Thanks for the replays. It isnt dirty just very stiff. I have cleaned the buckles which were green and are now sparkling. I am currently cleaning it with the expensive leather cleaner i got for my sofa and am then going to use the tack balsam on it. It is already becoming more...

Hi all I have just bought a john whitaker bridle and martingale for a bargain price off my ym. The bridle has been stored and not cleaned for many years, i was wondering what is the best way to give it a new life. It has brass buckles so they are currently soaking in tomato ketchup as...

If you think Dolly has the ability to do what your daughter wants next year. Then i would keep her. I knew that my daughter had outgrown hers as she started spending more time on the floor when jumping, she wasnt necessary to big for him but she became top heavy and that caused a problem for...

Am i being daft or does this code only work on the pic n mix section. Its just people are talking about show jackets and i cant see one in that section Sorry if I'm think but slightly confused. Thanks Lou

The little one by far. He was a complete nutter and would constantly nap, rear and buck. She had an accident out hacking in January and smashed her foot in 5 places. She said she would never hack out again. Tonight she went for a hack on her own after we went at the weekend. The 14.2 is...

Hi I know what you mean about keeping them on smaller ponys till they have to move on. My daughter has recently gone from a very naughty 12hh sec a, who she had a bad accident on earlier in the year. After much debating about wether to get her a 13.2 or bigger we decided on going straight...

I work 1100m underground in a salt and potash mine. I love my job apart from not seeing daylight which is why i guess i spend every spare minute outside with the daughters pony. Lou

Thanks she not doing too bad, has nearly mastered the crutches. Shes not put off and is complaining about how long its going to be before she can ride again. Pony was fine although i havent seen him since sat as been at hospital but all the yard have been looking after him for me.
