That is VERY offensive. You have absolutely no idea of what we went through last year and the medical situation other than a forum post. she absolutely doesn't NEED medication, only if I needed to keep riding her did she need surgery and then ongoing joint medication which I decided I wasn't...

Thank you.

If this is all you have to worry about you are doing well! Presumably when you take the two year old out 'soon' the others will be together? I'd spend the winter just getting them used to the fact that one (or two) might go but they will certainly come back. It's not no but something that...

I just fear what she might do to herself, she fly bucks in the stable if she thinks she's being left behind (never has been). Smallest fields are only fenced with single strand wire (electrified) along the cow tracks. Stock fenced fields are fairly big which I would have thought may mean extra...

This would be long term i.e. Not just when I ride, she would live apart from the others about a mile away. She would live out and come in just for farrier, if needed but otherwise be separate.

This is really worrying me so any suggestions are welcome. I have one pony in work, a two yr old and my retired warmblood. All are at home and currently things are fine as they are all out 24/7 and I just bring the one in to ride as and when. No stables yet as have moved farms this year but...

Thanks I will!

As an alternative to sprays if fencing and logistics allow-sheep eat docks. Good luck getting rid, we've just taken on a new farm and approx 40% of 150 acres is covered in docks. We're spraying and ploughing up, then re-seeding with a break crop but if it's horse paddocks then selective sprays...

Please can anyone who has had these with softwood infills tell me what treatment you've used on the wood? IAE recommended one but I am unable to source it so needing another, and ideally one combining a stain to darken the colour. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies, I've looked at them all as well as other options and hopefully I am now sorted.

Hello I have come to the conclusion that buying a yearling or two year old from its breeder may be the way forward having spent many months looking for something slightly older. Can anyone recommend anyone who breeds very good quality overgrown ponies/small horses 14.2hh-15.1hh mature height...

Thanks, lots to look at! Kadastorm I'll try and PM an email address as definitely interested. Need to sit down and go through all the suggestions, thank you very much for the replies. Fingers crossed!

Hi, I'm looking for a 2-4year old handled but unbacked youngster to do myself and keep. Ideally to make maximum or overheight and with good genuine temperament and good conformation, happy to travel to Ireland as long as easy access from SW airport and all straightforward the other side as may...

Thank you!!

The impossible! 15-15.2hh 5-7yrs, pony breeding (eg connie/nf/Welsh) x eg tb or warmblood but most important is temperament, needs to fit in at home on farm, young child/dogs/tractors, be able to stand in on own, come away from other 2 horses, hack alone mostly, straightforward and trainable to...
