Morning all. I have a 12 year old daughter who is desperate to do BS. She is currently in PC and also competes unaffiliated and is jumping successfully at around 90cm. Her pony already has a good BS record (not with us) and I believe that will dictate which classes she is able to do but...

Thank you everyone, this is been quite reassuring, glad that posted. Definitely think we will invest in the halo, our vet did say the only thing with fly masks was the risk to them touching her eye (understand there and some that are better quality, more structured and less likely of this...

Thank everyone, I had considered a a posh fly mask with UV protection but those guardian masks looks amazing and while did have a sharp intake of breath on first seeing the price definitely cheaper than continuous vet appointments! Interestingly the vet has always used an antibiotic jab as a...

I wondered if anyone has been through similar and has either found a solution or anything that helps. Will try and keep this short. Back in November our pony’s right eye became quite swollen and watery and apon inspection was very red. Between now and then we have had 8+ vet visits with the...

Thank you this is all really helpful, my husband normally deals with all the insurance side of stuff and he is currently deployed so feeling a bit out of my depth.

I wondered if anyone had any experience or advice on short term insurance for a horse. We are taking a friends pony to camp in a few weeks time due to my daughters pony being out of action and would like to insure it to cover her and us… Will most insurers cover short term and what kind of...

It’s definitely been a lesson learned for us. It is the same pony with BS record, we are actually in contact with owners 3 X back and lots of videos, pictures etc she has quite an extensive competing history so lots to find online just not any passport details In theory they didn’t sell her...

Hi all, looking for some advice on our new pony’s passport. We bought a fabulous pony a few months ago which is going great, the old owner passed on insurance, vet details, vaccine vials but couldn’t find the passport and knocked a bit of the price so we could sort ourselves, looked fairly...

Thanks for the reply, daughter very light handed I’m strict on hands and have been since children were small.. pony not refusing or slow just a little more hesitant at the fence Roundings have made a huge difference for the better, especially with the original happy mouth out competing just...

First time posting in a long time so forgive me if I put this in the wrong place. We have just bought a new SJ’ing pony for my daughter who we have had her a month and is absolutely wonderful. She is however fast and strong and particularly buzzy when the poles come out (more so in training...

You are right we absoloutly had a fab day and as pony previously was a very bad loader, getting ourselves there on time, not forgetting anything and bringing kiddies home with rosettes was a brilliant feeling... We have been suggested to try a Waterford so might do a little bit of research on them.

I did look at the schedule afterwards but it didn't have anything specified as to any do's and donts everything was worded in a very "laid back" and casual approach show i.e. all classes could be assisted, shouted out, cantering very optional...which I didn't think it would be a problem. We did...

Thanks for all your good advice the girls and pony had a great day and his behaviour and manners were impeccable despite various loose ponies, falling children and yoingsters, he looked after his little people to the fault which made it so enjoyable for us. My youngest daughter who is only 6...

Thank all that's a great help... EKW we have screen-shot your show example and are going to practice today... Fingers crossed for no rain, falls or forgotten hats!!

Thanks so much...that's a great help! It's quite nerve racking making sure all parties are on best behaviour while trying to remember all 6,345 items that may or may not be needed lol but we are getting there!! I don't suppose anyone knows where I find find examples of ridden/show class...
