our closest pony clubs take members at 6 and 7 respectively so he cant join just yet, and unfortunately it doesn't appear that there are many kids ponies for share or loan locally at the moment- I am going to speak with the riding school and ask if they can keep him in mind if they hear of a...

Have a look at Denham farm livery on facebook, its a very small private yard in totteridge owned by a really genuinely nice bloke, or burtonhole farm livery in mill hill,though I don't have any knowledge on that one

Hes definitely keen. I think I've been feeling steamrollered by friends opinions, and its made me feel stupid and unsure of my instinct/gut feeling that this would be a really positive thing for him. Daft as I realise it may sound, looking at peoples replies on here helps me to feel a bit more...

Wonder if we will get the same/similar advice!

Thank you for your suggestions. I used to do Pilates and think I will look at specific rider classes if I can, I am waiting to see what the PT comes up with before I commit to joining the gym hes based at. Thankfully hes self employed so happy to do plans ect independent of gym. I like yoga...

Will be watching this one with interest... I want to work on my fitness specifically riding focused after so long out of the saddle. My other half is going to speak to the personal trainer at his gym to see if he has specific suggestions with a view to drawing me up a plan.

Thank you all for your views, it really helps to get balanced opinions. I am kind of in the middle ground regarding care, I would aim for him to be involved, and indeed expect That he is participating but equally am happy and aware that I would do the lions share. I don't want to take the joy...

Hot water bottle under blankets/bed or next to heater/radiator as other poster suggested. When we got our rescue cat he was crated while he settled and we had I think it was a feliway diffuser plug we used in the room- it may help your cat to feel calmer in the surroundings. Does she have her...

Thank you both. Id definitely look at a lunge lesson, and I think you are right JillA I need to just stopping trying too hard and relax. Iam going to take your advice to try and just let the rise happen and see how I get on. :)

I think you have a really good idea and herts definitely has seen a big reduction in facilities but I also think you need to have a clear idea of additional purpose use for the facility. If you aim to run it as charity/not for profit you need to be able to define your objectives. Take advice...

My 5yr old has been riding since Nov 14. Hes riding every week, will be doing pony days during Easter holidays, joining the pony club and generally pony/horse mad. We have been planning for the eventuality that he may ask/want a pony of his own, researching all associated costs. We thought that...

There is Frith manor and the London equestrian centre next door to each other in Mill Hill. We don't have horses so I cant tell you what they are like for livery, but they are a fairly easy commute from Finchley Road,depending which end of it you are! Further afield there is Mote end farm,Trent...

Hi all I've recently come to back riding after many years away and I feel as though I am starting completely from scratch. In particular i am throwing myself up as I rise and tensing my shoulders. My heel position requires work. What's hard is am aware of what I should be doing, but cant...

Hello all My four year old started semi- private lessons late last year and is absolutely full of joy when riding. We had decided on him having lessons once a month to ensure it is something he really wants to do before looking into ownership/loans ect knowing that might come( though he's...
