    what nifty "trick" does your horse do?

    Mine unties herself and goes on a food hunt. She's taught my gelding to do it too as she gets lonely. Elderly mare used to be able to undo gates and stable doors including kick bolts. Nothing constructive tho. Oh! My mare used to look for gates or tree stumps/large rocks out hacking and...

    The Confession Board

    Took angel pony on a sport ride with some friends. At 5+ months pregnant and very tuned to each other she knew by now when I started jiggling she had to find me a tree stump or gate to get on from so I could get off for a wee. Clever angel pony sees a big stump and leaves the others to park...

    Rubbish week, confidence nose dive :(

    Accidents happen, otherwise they would be called 'deliberates'! Hugs to puppy for healing, my boy got trodden on as a pup and broke a front leg, healed good as new so there's good chance. Now get out there and enjoy your horse without the 'what ifs' in your head x
