Done it xxx

Thank God you are back, our yard has a big problem, and really need your advice. Our yard owner was stopped whilst she was out hacking in the next village by a woman who suspected (wrongly) that the YO' s horse had done his droppings outside her house. This woman was very cross and said it was...

I hunt on a 13.3 welsh cob and have a brilliant time. Very embarrasing, although flattering, whilst hacking towards the horseboxes after hunting, two 'adults' in front of me must have been talking about something risque, because the chap turned round to me and said, ' you weren' t listening to...

I was sooooo privileged to be able to ride Irish_only's ID stallion Connaught Grey to my wedding. I had never ridden a stallion so large before, and sidesaddle as well, so I was pretty nervous. He went right through a busy town on market day, there were shopping trollys and umbrellas and what...

Sorry if I sound smug but my friend and I were praised on our ' minimalist tack' out hunting; both ponies in snaffles with cavesson nosebands and no martingales.

Hay comes in 'pieces' according to me, but ' slices' according to my OH

My farrier recommended Kevin Bacon

Totally agree, a lot of the article is made up.

Still raving about the new bridleway!! Three of us went from our yard riding two Exmoors and a Welsh cob went on Saturday to Hassop, where we had a cup of tea, and on the way back went off the track after the old Longstone Station to investigate the bridleway which goes to Bakewell. There are...

Yeah, that's more or less what I did with my fat Welsh Cob, he developed laminitis about three months ago. Vet told me to give him 2.5 % of his body weight, and soak all his hay. He only had a bit of chop to stick his supplement in. He was in a foul mood because he thought he was starving, and...

Just to let everyone who lives in the Peak District (and any visitors) know that the old railway line that runs from Bakewell to Blackwell, thus joining up with the Pennine Bridleway, is now open to walkers, cyclists, and, most important of all, horse riders. It' s a fantastic 8 and a half miles...

I have a sixteen year old section D who I wouldn' t swap for anything, he hunts, jumps, is brilliant in traffic and has loads and loads of character and only bucks high enough to make me laugh. Welshies are great.

Does anyone know why horses ears go backwards and forwards when they drink? It has been puzzling me for years and no one seems to know

It is so good to have such a wonderful advice line on this forum! I wonder if you could help me and my friend. We have just started to go hunting, and we are getting so good at plaiting that our ponies plaits stayed in all day!! We wondered, would it be alright to leave the plaits in till next...
