Soon I will be moving to a new area and have found two yards which have space but which should I choose? Horse is a 15hh Friesian cross who is currently hacking out and doing light schooling. He's currently on part livery due to work commitments and is part stabled and is a good do-er. 1...

Poor mare, the owners should have done the responsible thing far sooner and in a less cowardly manner.

I don't think it's fair to keep ponies in a small dirt paddock without any form of excercise etc and if this needs to be done to prevent them from getting laminitis then I would PTS. I have to say that I shocked as the original poster claims that they are struggling to fund these ponies, who...

I have used the rein-bows and can recommend them.

I would introduce some hayledge, feed Alpha-A Oil, Fast Fibre, Pink Powder and either Outshine or Topspec Conditioning Flakes. I would rather feed hay in the field than limit turnout time, also ensure that he hasn't got worms or any underlying health issues and make sure he's well rugged.

I really like the dun (I suspect it's buckskin but it can still be shown in local coloured classes where it states duns are allowed). The black is also very nice, I'd ring both personally.

I either use a whip diectly behind the leg to back up a leg aid or or the shoulder as a repremand for a nappy horse. a slap on the bum will usually make a horse buck in my experience.

A friends horse had the knack for running backwards and spinning round in the school, reining back, voice leg aids, someone standing behind didn't work. changing direction as soon as you felt him prepare himself to run back worked a treat asdid not worrying about the running back but not...

I'd love one of those when I next get a horse. Very expensive though.

I really like Fylde bridles, Albion and Barnsby are also lovely.

Personally, i think it should be illegal, it's dangerous and not only endangers the horse and rider but other road or bridleway users. I assume that the same people who ride and use their mobile are the ones who don't wear reflective clothing or do their hats up. There is a girl at my friends...

She's lovely what breed is she and what do you hope to do with her?
