I actually backed my 4 year old when I was 5 months pregnant, I had plenty of help and he was a very laid back chap. Also, my friend rode all through her pregnancy right up until 3 days before her daughter was born .. and she never had a single stretch mark afterwards either!!!!

I'm not sure I should ask how you would know about the taste .... :-)

she is nearly 7, and I don't reprimand her afterwards as the deed is always done. If I catch her at it, I "growl" at her and send her away to her bed to think about it and clear away whatever is left. She is fed on a mix of Chappie wet food and Wagg complete. I don't play around with her diet...

My German Shepherd bitch has recently started eating her own poo! If I don't pick it up quickly she will eat it all up and lick her lips afterwards! It first started happening just in the garden, but now I have had to reprimand her because she has started to do it when out on walks and has...

Well I actually have a tear in my eyes after reading all that .. I am so impressed by you and your man! I had an appaloosa many years ago she was just as you describe your little man, very laid back and unflappable. Dead chuffed for you ... can I have the jam put on my scone before the...

You can complain to the insurance company, who can then look at the claim again and overturn the claims decision. If you are still not happy with the outcome you can take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service who offer a free service to review claims and decisions that are made. also, couple...

riding in this heat is bad, can't get away from that ... but it's the sodding flies that get me and my boy (literally!) and it doesn't seem to matter when I ride they always seem to be there! AHHHHHH!!!!!

yep ... £12.99 pair of yard boots!!! dead chuffed ...!!

I agree with Mike007, my old fella used to try his luck with me when he was a youngster, and I had to be the dominate one. Stand tall, make direct eye contact and make him know that you are top dog.

beautiful horse! and well done for winning!! Your horse has been blessed by the Profit Mohammed .. there is a profit's thumb mark on the right shoulder. (small indentation which is a perfect fit for a man's thumb!). It is a sign of good luck .. which clearly is working!! Good luck for...

where to start ...... a) he insists on removing all the rugs off his rug rail outside his stable everytime he is tied up. Even if he has a haynet it's his first job before tucking in. b) he likes to pick up my spare wellies from outside his stable and toss them across the yard. c) if...

I am loving it!!!! got the cob swathed in his fly rug, fly mask with extra long nose so his nozzle doesn't burn and all is well in my world. :D Downside is the kamaze flies and the horse flies the size of a Boeing 747's :mad:

I have a friend who has broken her cob to drive who was a similar age to yours, do as long as you take it quietly and slowly you'll be okay. As far as what people say or think, what does it matter? it is your horse and what you chose to so with her is up to you. Plus the fact if the...

at £40 a month there is no way LOU is included ... it would be twice as much.

easily done ... I did very similar 20 years ago. How can I remember how many years ago it was? well I was 8 months pregnant with my son and spent 24 hours in hospital so they could monitor my baby. Got so many tuts and sighs from the midwifes and nurses ... didn't have the heart to tell...
