Quite similar. Incredibly strong, lots of stamina at all paces. It very quickly felt comfortable and normal to be sitting on them. Neither felt choppy-strided but then on both occasions I was riding trail-fit horses. In general I feel far safer and comfy on smaller horses. Have only ridden a...

6ft1in. I have two neds, a 15.2 and a 16.1. Happy on both. Have ridden Mongolian and Icelandic horses, both short (13hh). Far more comfy on smaller neds.

Curb chain or noseband or headcollar noseband buckle putting pressure on the area?

So far in life I've always worn Champion hats. either the skull or the Ventair. I buy both as children's hats - Champion Junior range - because they come up to my size and are cheaper. Always buy them from local supplier so I can try on first to ensure fit and have fit checked too.

if you thought hoof trimmers wars on social media were bad, then don't ever ever like a dog training post. You will be inundated with dog trainer posts, and the comments will always include slagging-off posts saying what that trainer is doing wrong, or why you need trainer X rather than trainer...

I feed my hay loose in the field. Deliberately put it on top of bare spots so that any seeds get trodden in. Seems to work well.

I stopped buying micronised linseed because too much of it seems to be whole seeds that pass through the digestive system, not micronised at all, so a waste of a lot of money. I waste my money on a balancer now instead to go with their breakfast chaff and vegt.

Probably a daft question but do the Himilayan rock salt blocks travel all the way from Asia? Or are they English? If they travel from Asia, I'd rather use a homegrown product for carbon/climate change reasons.

My hubby gave me a pair of Atlas For Men winter padded waterproof trousers because they came up too long on him. I've been using those to walk the dog/do the horses inc riding. They are so warm they are like central heated, seem to be waterproof too. They were cheap, probably £20 o £30, as AFM...

Horses reach an age where they don't cope so well with the cold and will appreciate a rug. And our weather is reaching a point where the saturation levels are beyond a joke.

Do you need insurance for vets fees? Can you just have a liability insurance for your horses and then put money into a savings account or have access to a credit card for if you ever needed a big vet bill paid?
