I soak mine now as charlie had a cough,I put hay in a flexi bucket, add water, drain the water after its soaked for anything between half an hour and overnight and then feed the hay from the bucket, we can do this in the barn , don't know if that helps at all x

We're in no terrible rush to loan him, would rather he stayed at current yard too, he either probably needs a competent young rider or small teen/adult as he objects to being told what to do at times and he will buck . Last thing I want is anybody getting hurt from him bucking them off or...

Thanks, I think he could potentially be good as lead rein, my daughter was first on lead rein with him and she has progressed to cantering and jumping off lead rein. So he could be good for someone else. There are things that my daughter won't do with him though as he gets too excited, such...

Hi I'm after some advice about our pony, hes 12-2hh, 7 years old and we've had him for 4 years now, my daughter is 13 and she still rides him but is getting a bit big now, they've done lots together and he will occasionally try it on with her but he does behave well for the most part. She now...

Great idea ironhorse We've just had the offer to borrow proper racing colours for the show! :) shes got white jods so she'll look the part

Thanks guys we've got a newmarket fleece for him so thinking of dressing her up as a jockey lol She is getting a little big for him, tall really but hes built like a tank lol and it won't be long before she gets something bigger so she should enjoy him while she can.

Hi my daughter would like to do a fancy dress class with her pony on Sunday, shes 13 and I've had someone say she shouldn't do it as shes too old, will get laughed at and it will be embarrassing for her. Could I have your thoughts on this, is she too old? Shes keen to do it, plus her pony is...

Thanks, I'll see what I can do, our yo is very experienced also so I might see if she can help

Hi just after a bit of advice, my daughter has been riding her pony in the field and she hacks him out etc In the field he can go perfectly, listen to my daughter, she can get him to trot, canter and pop a small jump. Problem is he gets very nappy to the gate and very strong, he'll ignore the...

Id say it takes me about 20 minutes to muck out charlie, do water and hay , depends on how energetic I'm feeling lol

Thank you guys I really need to get my ass into gear now, I'm 35 this year and its a lifelong dream to ride and have my own horse, and the only thing holding me back is my weight, well and money and time lol We have had charlie 3 years and now hes almost outgrown I need to start looking soon...

Also theres a tennis club starting on Monday night I'm thinking of joining
