    Sponsored ride ideal start time for green horse

    Hello, I am going to enter a local fun ride. First ever for my green rising 6 pony. We know the start venue very well and also the area but we normally hack alone and very rarely in company. I am wondering which start time to pick to make it the least stressful or busy. First or last or in the...

    Tips for correct canter lead

    Changing out of a circle to the other rein and staying on the old bend for a few strides means the old inside hind still keeps its weight while being new outside hind and strike off into canter that way. Works pretty well.

    Moss in pasture

    It’s just developed so much moss with all this wet weather it has turned my paddock into a temporary river ….

    Moss in pasture

    Thanks. Unfortunately the yard owners probably won’t let me have sheep but I have a very good doer so it may help control her calory intake …

    Lottie and Everdale latest test wins, God help us rewarding this disgrace.

    Really interesting I had to watch Lottie Fry’s test and it looks appalling. Last summer I watched some medium dressage at a local venue (I am nowhere attempting anything like it myself but I currently try everything to bring my youngster on using her own self carriage eventually as a basic aim)...

    would you choose New Thorowgood or (used) Kent&Masters

    Have opted for the Thorowgood. It looks smart new and given the current weather conditions I am quite glad 🙂 . It fits the pony like a glove, suited my budget it’s lightweight and for local competitions it’s going to be just fine.

    Amount of hay over night 😳

    I dont’t currently weigh hay but she is stabled probably about 18 hours this time of year and I don’t like them running out too long. I Have a very good doer but she only gets a balancer and very little chaff as feeds. I have started mixing two versions of hay. One type she practically inhales...

    What have your 5 year olds done this year?

    hacking gets easily overlooked or people don’t take it seriously. Well my 5 year old sees farm machinery, umbrellas, prams, barking dogs and deer on a regular basis and is getting quite resilient. Also sure footed. Can’t beat that.

    What have your 5 year olds done this year?

    I can so relate to the question of how long can we say they are just a baby :-). i bought my baby pony last September as a 4 year old. In our first winter we did work in hand and hacking to get to know each other. Through the warmer months we did a showing class, two dressage outings, a dressage...
