Your leg looks fine, and fits nicely on the saddle. You have a long torso somewhat and the cob is compact - probably a similar height horse that is longer wouldn't be as obvious even. Definitely no squashing though

I'd always rather let them go a little early. That said, I lost my little geriatric Lola in October last year. We'd drastically scaled back walks, she was a little unsteady, and slow but still a happy little thing at almost 16. She obviously couldn't take any sort of rough play. I worried a lot...

I'm pretty sure there is/was an "English spotted pony" that was an actual breed at one point - obviously I'm very aware of knabstrupppers, I'd expect there are other breeds which accept spots as colour too, its just that people see spots and automatically think appaloosa.

Well, bear in mind spotty is not always appaloosa - I'm very much not averse to spots. Although Bon has decided he'd prefer to be grey 😬 They are super comfortable, but it's like their rhythm is ever so slightly off. I can't quite put it in words but where I love a sharp crisp rhythm theirs is...

They have a very specific way of moving in my experience which I just don't enjoy, and, I've no objection to a horse having an opinion, but like a$$holes we all have one but we don't have to share it with everyone all the time whether it's relevant, interesting or appropriate or not🤷‍♀️🤣 I don't...

Loving the variety of horses we all like (and pleasantly surprised how many of us are still suckers for a pretty face) To be very clear, my dream is the fact that there is a stable with my very own horse in it which fills my heart with joy every day. I'd just like more 🤣

I've known a few haflingers, good looks and fun ponies but very much their own person 😂 I had a friend with a dun Highland as a pre teen - I was lucky enough to ride him a bit, and 2 friends with exmoors, had no idea how privileged I was back to meet different breeds especially when pretty much...

I've been really lucky to have experienced a lot of different breeds and I love a lot of breeds, I appreciate the brain and spark of a sharp cob, the elastic suppleness and engine of Warmbloods. I'm not a fan of appaloosas I just don't vibe with them, so much so it's often the case that I find...

I usually explain it that you're about to step on to a 10m circle but then use your inside leg to "pause" the circle. So you set up the circle then say actually not yet.

FEC yes, never blood tested for encysted but previous yard had a worming program and disregarded work counts 🤷‍♀️ however, as a result he's definitely had a 5 day panacur during a Feb freeze so hopefully would make that unlikely. I'll add to the list though. I'll also add Cushing's to the...

That's interesting about the pssm, the 4 year old is only about 16hh - so relatively short for the breed but looks proportional at that and she wasn't looking for him to be super tall. He's a sweet dude, I feel deeply suspicious that it can't be the milk thistle but it's the only obvious...

Friend has a 4 in june Belgian draught. Owned from a 6 month weanling, imported from Belgium. Gelded as a yearling. He's never really thrived - which wasn't hugely worrying, big heavy breed especially you don't want them carrying excess as youngsters. He's always peed and drunk a lot - seen...

I've ordered a 3 compartment one 🤑 🙄 i figure I can put a few bags of straw pellets in the bottoms to keep the feed accessable at the top I considered a freezer but a flat pack feed bin will be easier to get to the farm, and I don't love barrels for the same reason as bins - they just don't...

Anyone use them? I find I need to rodent proof my feed room at the moment and these look the best option. But I really don't like them. I'm small and basically have to cartoon clamber to get near the bottom of them, I don't like that you can't rotate feed properly and empty them really ever...

How do you think I found out mine is 3 😂😂😂
