I'm looking for someone that can come and give me lessons on my new girl... I'm near Thetford/Attleborough/Watton area. I need someone who is calm and patient and willing to go back to basics with us. Its really just to build up my confidence and get us both riding safer and more in control! I...

Hi, I am quite new to horse ownership so please be kind towards my naivety! I need some advice regarding which bit to get for my new mare. She is a ploddy ex ride/drive cob who has been ridden in some sort of snaffle (possibly eggbutt, but unsure) She does tend to play with a bit constantly so...

Mildenhall is about 30 mins from me unfortunately, but thank you. And yes, I have tried several Facebook pages, as well as preloved, free ads etc etc

Have put ads up, and been door knocking where we can... good idea on the parishes though, will get onto that!

I am looking for Grazing in Norfolk, anywhere in between Thetford and Watton... Been looking for a long time and can't seem to find anywhere! We are willing to pay a decent amount for the right place, but no luck so far... We have 4 ponies, so are looking for around 3-5 acres. If anyone knows...

Hi, I am going to see an Appaloosa youngster tomorrow and would be very grateful for any advice.... Some specific things I need to know are can they live out year round as we do not have stabling? Are they weight carriers or suited to light loads only? Also are there any breed specific health...

Hi, just wondered if anyone knows of any spaces for a muddy little pony on grass livery in Norfolk? He lives out all year and we are in between Thetford/Watton/Attleborough so anywhere close to these places would be good. It may only be short term, not sure yet. He may be losing his only...

Thank you, yes she rides beautifully.. I am just so used to big chunky cobs that she looks so dainty in comparison! I've heard that they are hardy live out types though... is this true?

I am going back for a second viewing of a 15 yr old 14.2hh Connemara tomorrow... any thoughts on what this breed is like as a first horse? She is well schooled and seems calm enough, but I don't have any experience of connies so thought I'd ask the experts!:)

Job situation I'm afraid. Find out for definite on permanent contract in November, so being extra cautious on financial situation....

There are no other horses nearby, so we are also looking at ponies (my 8 year old daughter also rides), however we may need to look at loans or lwvtb for this one!

Thanks for all the tips... unfortunately the dealer that I was going to see said she had had a busy couple of weeks and didn't have much left to show me so put me off for a while. I'm trying to take my time in this decision, and really not looking to buy until after christmas but have been...

Going to test ride a few ploddy cob types tomorrow... any tips on what to do/say/ask etc?? I am not expecting to find my perfect partner on the first viewing (have been chanting "DO NOT FALL IN LOVE" for a few days!) but any advice would be much appreciated!:)

Hi, just keeping an eye out for any fields to rent near Watton in Norfolk... Big enough for one horse and one Pony, Dont actually need it until early next year but starting to look now. If anyone knows of anything, or comes across one, please could you let me know!:)

Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions, we've got a while to think about it (need to find the horse next!!), I think the IBC tank sounds good rigged up to some guttering, or to be filled by a nice farmer?? I think we can always use water containers to start, as we'll only have one horse and...
