Stoneways have said I'm covered.. headcollar/bridle = makes no odds to them! Long reining/lunging = cavesson Round Pen = Nothing Hacking/Schooling = Natural Hackamore Anything more I will use a snaffle if I need to... but thats it!!

Not written in contract, its just a big sign on the gate you go through to get out of the yard! I will tell her I am leading in his natural hackamore, and she is more than welcome to call my insurance company to check that this is OK.. Not that it has anything to do with her imo.. For...

Just called my horse insurance company. They have said that both my horse and anyone else that may be involved in an accident (i.e. everything from horse kicking a car, hurting a person or horse hurting himself) would be covered under insurance whether I lead in a headcollar or in a bridle...

But when I hack normally I ride in a natural hackamore, he does have a snaffle bridle at the yard, but hardly ever use it! But if I'm riding she will let me ride in that, but not to hand walk? Thats why I can't understand it!!

As I have explained before I have recently found out I am pregnant. And I have made the decision not to ride at all. I am advertising for a sharer on my horse. But he needs to be exercised regularly - which I have been doing obstacle courses with him, round pen work and lunging. But I would...

Thank you everyone for your comments! You have definately put my mind at rest a bit. I think I will part loan for 5 days a week or full loan to either stay at yard or local - and just ask if I can pop up every now and then do have a little play with him.. I am more likely to do part loan...

Thank you so much... I don't think I will sell.. just worrying a lot!!! I just have seen people try to juggle horses and babies, and it ending very badly! But then they tried to spend all day, everyday down there - which I most definately would not do. It's just so confusing, and...

I'm just trying to work out whats best for my horse and for baby.. It's all so confusing! I wont need to work after I've had baby, so I would have to only juggle home, baby and horse (only lol) - wouldnt need to worry about work which is a luxury!

I have just found out I am pregnant (only about 7 weeks) - and am contemplating what I would do with my horse? I only have 1, he can be challenging - but on the whole a safe, lovely boy. I feel awful because my friend also has horses and we keep them together on a livery yard, and she...
