I can't recall my 2025 but it certainly didn't go to plan, particularly with Ray taking longer to break that expected! so lets get them in for 2026 actually start riding Ray away - we are going with a very low pressured start to ridden career. I want him out and about and confident in life...

I love a resurrected thread 🤣 particularly this one as doing my tack room

You do have options and you are not alone ❤️ TRT has worked wonders for my tricky Gelderlander, I would highly recommend As others have said don't be afraid of asking for help. Years ago I would have struggled alone, I have lots of experience with tricky horses but I am currently having an...

I think my 4 year old is more regressing 3 than rising 5 🤣

Well my stables are supposed to be done by Christmas and I have bought some garlands that will be cable tied very thoroughly to the fronts! I'm also making a wreath for the central pillar. No stocking but every year they get a bag of carrots and a swede each. I'm also tempted by the Guinness

My 4 year old KWPN has been away to be broken for 5 months. He originally went to be started by someone that wasn't the right fit and unfortunately ended up with some mounting issues. He is now (hopefully) about ready to come home in a few weeks and is much more solid. Please tell me your...

Have a look at Childeric, they do a Young Horse promise which seems good, lots of my friends with young horses have it

MudRugs stand up to being dragged around by my youngster!
