oops sorry title doesn;t really make sense !! aha it should be feedign for 13.2 pony or something like that

so we have a slightly overwieght 13.2 connie welsh etc cross. He is now being ridden almost everyday and competed almost everyweek sometimes a bit more sometimes less. He is 15. he is running out of energy quite quickly and can get quite tired so we need some feed reccomendations I would say he...

ok someone recommended them :) but i won't be using them thank you :)

would the training ones be good for protecting his legs when he's jumping sj and xc or not?

sorry if it sounsd a bit silly but what are these used for...

I love this idea never thought of pretending to be mary king im going to do it :D I found getting the 'don't give a ****' attitude really helped with my pony at competitions aswell really helped get him over and got my confidence back :)

any advice on teaching our rising 2 yo styraight from the field to trot in hand? he walks stops and back up perfectly. but we havn't go to trotting?? any tips. our just 1 year old has been taught but for some reason domino ( the pony) doesn't seem to understand the ways we have been using for a...

I don't want to criticise i take your point, but what exactly is so wrong with stopping with one rein and do you suggest another way as it is the only way to stop my pony when he bolts ( which he does out on fun rides occasionally)

I got a trial on one of my ponies but paid the money up front. It was a good thing to as it was my first pony and my instructor said it wasn't safe to keep him as he was constantly rearing up, he nearly fell over a few times apparently. If you take the money up front or a large deposit for...

my pony does this out at fun rides hunting xc etc and you need to really pull with one rein, it is the only way i can stop him works really well for every one i know who uses it.

He is 13.2 but stockily built i hve been told by his previous owners that he gets very wound up out hunting and very strong. We are schooling him at the moment but at the moment it is dangerous to school him in the bit he is in as we really have no control.

I did some research and would seem a pelham brings a horses head down, whereas a gag brings the horses head up. Or something alonf the lines of that :p sorry for being a bit stupid, my pony normally puts his head down or stick his nose forward, so what bit would be best?

My pony gets very excitable out hunting on fun rides and cross country. When you ask him to trot he bolts of. I messaged his old owners who said he gets very wound up. He gets very strong and i can only stop him by turning him in circles for a long time. I can't 'collect' his canter/gallop he is...

glad to know any hogged manes will grow back :D:D:D:D:D:D

I am also worried incase my ponies catch lice i will have to hog there manes, as long as the mane flops over eventually ( by the time he is 3 he is 1 at the moment) I won't worry too much, hopefully they won't get lice though:)
