hi hoping someone has experience with this bit? i have a 17hh ex racer who is coming on well. currently in a loose ring french link but very 'mouthy'. when bit is first put in he gapes his mouth open and then chews constantly until really well worked in. he eventually settles but i get the...

Thank you for all then advice! It's nice knowing I'm not the only one with a mini satan hell bent on escaping EVERYWHERE. She continued to escape over, under and through a tall fence, a small fence, two tall fences, a small and a tall fence and every other combination we could imagine. We have...

She is a Welsh cross something, so quite possibly! Thank you! Very pleased she is on top form again, can start exercising her again soon and hope I can tire her out if I lead her from the tb's! The wide fencing sounds great, as does moving the fencing as she is jumping from the same point where...

Having posted a week or so ago about my retired pony being diagnosed with lami and cushings I am back for more advice! She is currently on half a tablet a day and restricted grazing, looks amazing and is obviously feeling well as she has taken to jumping in and out of her restricted grazing...

so on wednesday my 17yo pony was confirmed to have laminitis, she was tested and has come back a strong positive for cushings. now what do i do?? i am completely in the dark about either of these conditions as i have been incredibly lucky to not even come across one and thus have remained...

Ah thank you! I just resent buying yet more White numnahs as they always seem to end up filthy after ten minutes! I think I will do though as we'll need every bit of help we can get!

Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a compulsory colour for numnahs for the dressage phase? I've searched the rule book and can't seem to find anything? M's first be on Sunday and it's been quite a while since I competed affiliated! Thank you!

I have a tekna jump saddle and have used it hard for around 3 years. It was the best fit on my then 5yo mare who has "shoulders" rather than withers? She's a bit hulk like. It's comfortable and cleans up well. Though after well over 100 days hunting, team chasing, fitness etc etc the surface is...

i was lucky enough to get a space in a lesson with lucinda green on thursday and just thought id give a quick report incase anyone else is thinking about booking one! having booked a space i thought id 'google' general reviews and they were a bit along the lines of 'if your pony is good, youll...

My ex-racer boy lives out 24/7. He has relaxed, filled out and runs far less risk of ulcers. He has also hunted every week/fortnight since September and is clipped. You'll be surprised how much they can take!

thank you so much for your reply, im glad there are so many options, though it makes it even harder to decide! she has simply been a hack for around 4 years since i could no longer compete her, she is so quirky and keen we thought it best alround that she stay with us in a job she is so good at...

hi there, hoping someone has had experience of this! will keep it short. my retired, 17years old, pony is lame, vet out suspects arthritic changes. has prescribed bute in high doses until fairly sound then will xray both forelegs to check for any changes etc. she acts as a nanny for my neurotic...

hi ive got a 4yr old middle weight-ish freisianxwarmblood hunter who stands at around 16;2/3hh. im hoping to show her this year unaffiliated and next year go affiliated but was unsure about registering etc.? just wondered if anyone had any advice/experience etc im a member of a riding club and a...
