Not been on this site for a few years - still got my cob Wooley- 33 years young - I still hack him out ! Had him 20 years now !

Yard owner 's dog bit me for a second time yesterday- it nipped round behind me when I came to the yard with her daughter and my grandson. It was deep so had to go to A&E for tetanus and wound cleaning. It bit me some months ago - again nipped round behind me and bit my leg although not as...

I am 57 and have a 30 year old cob- hack out on my own or with a friend - 67- and her 20 year old cob. Each pair adds up to 80 years and we still have fun- blethering and mainly walking along the tracks with a few trots. Long may it continue ! Lots of young riders at the yard- they do their own...

I have not been on here for a long time! Still riding Wooley, 29 year old cob. Just been for a hack up the woods. Who else is riding an old boy? Our combined age is......85!!!!!

A loose horse tanking towards us!

Evertime I gow out for a hack my 27 year old stumbles. I cant actually see what his legs do but I feel a sudden dip downwards. He does not fall, just jolts. Any ideas? Had recent coffin joint imbalance but vet has said to keep going, in walk only.

My boy has a temperature reading of 38.9. He has no symptoms of any illness and appears normal in every way. First time in years he has had it taken. What do you think? He is a 28 year old cob.

After many months of lameness he has cme sound( 27 year old Cob) and I got on him this morning, only in walk and for 20 mins. It was so good to be up there on my old gent!

My 27 year old cob had a synovial injection into his coffin joint today. Anyone had this done?

You learn to live with it. My boy had it very badly, but is still going strong. It came as a terrible shock to me. Grass induced in his case though. Hopefully he will be fine and it will soon be a thing of the past.

Had one of those for the last fourteen years. Gorgeous though!

I just love the yard we are at!! Been there nearly three years and its great!

He has slight pink staining on the white back hooves, sound and happy. Farrier not bothered but I am told they are bruising or laminae seperation. Has yours got this and any thoughts?

We all lose confidence at some time, just take it easy,go back to basics and relax. There is nothing wrong with just hacking, I do it all the time. I have had some bad experiences but tried hard to get back little by little and it worked. Its part and parcel of riding. Enjoy it and never think...

Not that its near High W, but before I moved to Scotland I was at a yard in Henton near Chinnor. There are 3 yards in Henton, all good and the hacking is great, along the Ridgeway and up Wainhill. Miss it but where I am now is amazing!
