I think when I did it on my mare years ago (she’s now 7) it estimated she’d be 16hh and she turned out to be just shy of 16.2hh. It was an okay indicator but I wouldn’t invest my hopes and dreams into it by any means

I’m calling you a bad influence :p

I don’t really rate the BHS way any more myself either if I’m honest. It was always a desire of mine to learn and go up in their ranks and achieve their qualifications but the more I progressed and understood as a rider, the more I realised there are AIs out there who haven’t a clue. I even...

I did my lass as a two year old. I didn’t really have reason to before then. I did plan to do a couple in hand outings as a 2/3 year old but never got around to it. She did first have a bit at 2 and once she was acquainted with it, I stopped annoying her with it until I started groundwork later on.

That’s the thing, no matter what sacrifices we may make in owning horses, it’s sure worth it, otherwise why would we continue to own them? The benefits far outweigh the sacrifice

See that’s how they get me...Contactless payments? Apple Pay? I’m just forever doomed

How’s would anyone even know that? I don’t believe it’s possible to not buy anything there 😂 Clearly I have great money skills

*waves back* Thanks! I have a love / hate relationship with Kildare. Love going up there, hate seeing my money go when I inevitably buy something in TRI!

Definitely a good few spots around alright, and central enough too that nowhere is really too far :)

He’s a stunner alright, best of luck with him in future :)

Oh good luck with the move to the boarders! You know, I left Scotland when I was 20 and I’ve been back for wee breaks etc through the years but I haven’t yet seen much of anything outside of Edinburgh. I’ll have to travel and see more of it. I hear the boarders are a lovely area

Not far from Mullingar actually but Athlone isn’t the furthest away!

Thanks Shirl! Good to know there’s more than one of the auld clan here 😂 I’m actually in the Republic, Westmeath, midlands area really. Nice enough out here, complete opposite from auld reekie where I’m from. I owe Ireland my photography passion and my horse passion :)

Hello there :) I've been registered here a wee while now but figured I'd best post a little introduction and progress from there. I'm a Scot, living over the Irish Sea on the Emerald Island and have been here 10 years now :eek: I have a horse, Kaje, who I've had since a foal. She's...

I forgot to touch on the positives much in my post but you're very right! I absolutely feel like the it all pays off when my mare looks at me across the field and comes wandering over. Just knowing they want to be around you in their means a lot
