I rode my boy until I was 32 weeks pregnant, then had to stop because I struggled to get on and off. Got some 'funny pains' whilst poo picking my field on my due date. Saw my midwife later who told me I was in early labour. Baby born next day. Stopped off at the stables on the way home from...

This is very true. Yesterday I was all ready for just marching up to her and telling her it was finished. HOWEVER we are on the same yard, with stables near each other and mutual friends. It would have caused more trouble than it was worth. Our yard is very rare in that there is no bitching...

Many thanks everyone! I certainly would never be so naive again. Basically the agreement says that I'm responsible for all of the basic care of the pony unless they want to help (they have a chushy number here) They can ride her on the 3 days unless I say that they can ride more. That they are...

I was worried about my lovely titchy pony not doing enough so I offered to another woman on my yard as a 'share' for her 6 year old daughter along with my son. Basically they have taken the p*ss. The pony has been worked hard (for over an hour) every day since August 20th. On 3 occasions now I...

I'm sorry you have had to go through this what a nightmare. I would ask your vet to contact their vet with regards to finding out about your ponies lammi. It is much more appropriate than for you to speak to their vet. To be honest owning these little ponies are an absolute minefield I've...

Thanks for your advice. I'm going to gradually increase the size of her little paddock until it is a little larger and then she can stay on there full time. Thanks again both of you

Ok I have 'acquired' a fantastic 12 hh welshie (Polly) for my 2 year old son. She should wear a halo as she is just about the most perfect pony ever Her only problem is that she is prone to laminitus. My field is 4 acres with what appears to be a lot of grass on. It is used by my horse (a TB)...

If this is a personal vendetta then getting angry and trying to stop the RSPCA seeing the animals is playing into the hands of the people making the claims. Smiling, being polite and helpful to the officers and having nothing to hide will soon make the act of calling the RSPCA pointless. What...

Well D, you know what I think of that 'master saddler'.

I always say "he's not made of sugar he won't dissolve" I have to admit Chance has got a rug on tonight though

Chance and I have had a rubbish year (he has developed a bit of a bad attitude to competing) ending with him getting slightly 'broked' at an event. Its ok after back treatments and a new saddle he seems fine. For the past few weeks though I've really questioned why I keep him as I do feel that...

Well Chance has had a month off with mctiminey/equissage to sort out his 'niggles'. Some of his problems seemed to come from his saddle so I got a local saddle fitter out to check them. I don't know about you guys but I'm very dubious of most people like this as I've had my fingers burnt before...

I thought this website was closed down??

Baby is now 15 months old His adoring relationship with horses (particularly chance or "tanter") continues (was great last week when Scope was on he was in heaven LOL). He has a pony, an adorable 21 year old 13hh pony who is the sweetest thing. He loves to sit on horses - in fact I think poor...

Oh well done you, and a GRRRR to the nasty cow who swore at you and upset you. I'm also a TFT convert but I think I need to call Jo back as I'm still having a few isssues. I also think that if I overtap it effects my performance as I'm too relaxed (does that sound mad?)
