    HOYS - Showing the world that a lame and obese pony can be a champion

    But really you could say all equine sports are nonsense! If you think about it there’s no actual point to any of it, especially as an amateur, and from an outsiders point of view it’s all ridiculous. We just do what we enjoy and there’s no need to be so judgmental about people enjoying some...

    Grass Free Turnout pen??

    I just have a round pen and with the pony on it all the time there is zero food in it now. I'm having to feed hay in there and he is losing weight steadily.

    Replacing Ifor Trailer sides

    Their customer service is appalling so I would recommend ordering sooner rather than later! I waited at least 6 months for mine. The local dealer was fine but the man I spoke to at their head office was particularly unpleasant to deal with, I definitely won't be getting another Ifor trailer when...

    AH Saddles - Kai Riley

    Do you know how long the wait would be for a brown dressage saddle? I know I prefer brown but I'm also impatient! If there's one that fits I'll want it straight away!

    AH Saddles - Kai Riley

    Just wondering if anyone else has used Kai? Looking to try a dressage saddle from Andrea Hicks but keen to hear some feedback before I commit that much money! Previously i've had Steph out but sadly she's moved away!

    Why do hunts need terrier men?

    As the title really, i'm just curious as to why a hunt would have terriers with them post ban? I can't say I fully understand how hunts work and therefore also what's legal post ban so i'm interested to know why they would be there now because I think I would have assumed they could no longer be...

    Show Me Your Exmoors!

    I don't have a photobucket account so I can't post a photo but I have Granitestone Carn (Brian).

    Spook busting

    Try the pound shop. I got some bunting there and all sorts of garden windmills, ornaments and windsocks. You might get foam rollers in sports direct? I bought a foil ribbon curtain on ebay too.

    Solution saddles - stirrup bar position

    I have got a saddler coming out for me to try a normal saddle too so i'll just have to wait and see what he prefers. I did find the same with the pommel of the one I tried but I do think the ones on their website look less bulky so hopefully the newer ones are better. The flexibility of fit does...

    Solution saddles - stirrup bar position

    That's good to know. I've hopefully got a fitter coming at the end of the month so I should be able to try a few. I've just got a Thorn pad to keep me going until I get a saddle and he seems really happy in it which makes me think treeless could be the way to go. He's Welsh C so i'm guessing a...

    Solution saddles - stirrup bar position

    It was just one I tried myself. Although someone else commented that the stirrup bars looked far forward when it wasn't on the horse without me saying anything. I've just sent them an email to try and book a fitter. I just hope I don't have to wait too long, I feel like i'm wasting my summer...

    Solution saddles - stirrup bar position

    I've read a lot of good things about Solution saddles and think they could work very well for my horse but the only one i've ridden in I found put me in a really bad position. The stirrup bars were quite far forward and I really struggled not to have my legs stuck forwards. Is this something...

    Major Help Needed! UNHANDED PONY

    Definitely get Sarah Westons book, No fear, no force. And go on the intelligent horsemanship website and find your nearest instructor. Exactly a year ago I bought an exmoor pony who turned out to be almost completely feral and today he's more like my shadow. There's been a lot of ups and downs...

    Replacing Ifor Williams panels

    I'm sure they prefer to sell new trailers but now i've had a bad experience with them i'm unlikely to use them again. My next trailer would have been a new ifor but I don't want to support a company with such terrible customer service. It's the rudeness that really annoyed me, I can understand...

    Replacing Ifor Williams panels

    Good luck, I just picked up the panel I ordered back in August! I think It's a relatively simple job once you get it but order it ASAP. I'm incredibly unimpressed with Ifor, appalling customer service and very rude with it. The dealership I ordered it through say they are known for it. I'll...
