Hi All, Ive recently started my Welsh on Protexin Acid Ease for some gut lining support. He’s probably been on it for about a week now - just on a maintenance dose. I’ve gone out to him this afternoon, and he seems very itchy! Am I right in thinking this could be the Alfalfa in the Acid Ease...

Are there any ‘avid’ eBay users on here? I’m selling brand new horsey items on there at the moment, all at very reasonably prices and open to offers with fast postage etc. I’ve had so many people make an offer, I’ve accepted or they’ve won the auction but then they just don’t pay. I then go...

Is anybody else genuinely allergic to horses? Has your allergy ever put you off wanting to do things with them? Any miracle fixes apart from the usual antihistamines? :oops:

Interested to know if anybody ‘does’ anything with their companion Shetlands? I bought mine recently to keep my Section D company, he’s only young therefore not suitable to be backed just yet, or do anything too strenuous. I just wondered if anybody ever takes theirs into the arena to do some...

Does anybody know if spectators are allowed? I’m pretty sure they are, however I wondered if somebody had some clarification? Thanks

Strange question, ha! Where do you carry your phone when riding? In particular on a hack/in the summer. I don’t like riding tights or leggings so the down the leg, deep pocket isn’t an option. It’s too big to stick down by bra! I’m thinking a running belt around the waist could be a good option...

A quick question for all those that are on board bright and early.. what do you do when it comes to feeding your horse? Does your horse have a hay net over night, which lasts until morning? Do you delay riding and feed some forage in the morning before getting on?

I’m thinking my only option to keep mine going this Winter is to box up, park up and hack in a quieter area. Our road is getting increasingly busier and with a fairly nervous Section D, I’m wondering whether not to even risk hacking down our roads and boxing up to go somewhere different...

Hi All, As title, has anybody managed to ride on grass yet?! I’m hoping with a few more dry days ahead it will become fit to use!! It needs to continue though.. which is the hardest part 🤦🏼‍♀️

Who does it and what are the pros and cons? What does your typical day look like and what industry are you in? I’m currently in a high pressured job as a manager in a mixed vet practice but am thinking of a change to include more flexibility due to various reasons. Would love to hear...

Hi all, After some advise.. I currently just have the one Section D pony. He’s kept at home with me, we live on a large herd dairy farm. I’m thinking of getting another horse, as although he is very settled on his own I think it would be nice for him to have some company. How much time...

Does anybody know if Blair XC is still available to watch online anywhere as I have missed it over the past few days? Thanks

As title really.. We live on a 600acre dairy farm with plenty of accessible fields (mainly flat and “horsey friendly”, although OH may not agree:p) The drive directs onto a very busy B road therefore hacking on a road isn’t really an option unless I box up and move 2/3miles off the busy...

Hi, I was just wondering if you are allowed to walk the XC course at Badminton early Saturday morning as a spectator? Thanks

How do you do it? My Section D is great hacking out with cars/cyclists/joggers etc, is spooky when not ridden for a while but that’s to be expected. He just hates lorries, and tractors especially with implements behind them! We live on a large herd dairy farm so he is use to all the noises...

Anybody recommend any good online reading, horse related? Need to save it on my ipad for a long day tomorrow!

Hello all, I'm doing a little local show tomorrow. I've decided to do some of the jumping classes, but I was wondering what equitation was, and if eligible to do it? any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Ok, ok, I'm back again. I havent posted on here in AGES(well, it seems a long time to me:D:D) Right: I'm currently in year ten, and am doing my work experience this year, in July, at a nearby, stud. Today, I went up and had a tour and generally helped out. I loved it. I have had the same...

If a company were too devise a machine to mechanically dry grass, to produce hay of a very high standard, i.e-Canadian hay standard ( better than normal UK hay) what would we all be prepared to pay for it? Would we be prepared to pay £8-£10 per conventional bale?

This is my gorgeous boy, stolen him off my mum now! mwhahaha.. Cheekiest horse ever! haha, these were taken this morning in the beautiful sunshine.

Random post really but what are you spending your sunday doing? My day- Got up around 8:00 skipped out, loaded the two neddies up and went to the local cross country and showjumping place which is to hire, and hired out the arena to start jumping! Was great fun, mum treated the neddies to a...

This is my new girl, got her two weeks ago. She is only five but has a temperment to die for, I love her! These were taking early this morning, and what a beautiful morning it was! First time in the school, didnt do anything wrong. We're all so pleased with her so far! Just...

its me again!!!- (everyone sighs) My mum and I had nothing to do today, so what did we end up doing... went to the local (45minutes:L) welsh pony and cob sale. Just to have a look.. well we might of just popped the trailer on the back.. We had a look round, we were after a section d/section...

Anybody going to the welshies sale at Ruthin on saturday? We're taking the trailer.. just in case;-)

Burghley highlights:-) Just though I'd share, hehe for all of us numpteys that couldnt make it:-(

What do you do when your horse is really excited? I have had mine only a week now, he gets a little excited sometimes in the school, the previous owner has had him 15years now, and said you can bring him back whenever you want if you dont like him etc.. He is an advanced dressage horse what...

so, today I spent about three hours marking out our 'arena', it isnt actually an arena its a paddock but a big one so we use it for a school aswell. We're currently using oil drums and laminated letters stuck on them. I marked out 20 by 40mtrs. (7 and 3/4 steps of my feet=2metres, *took me...

I was just curious on how often and when you ride in the winter? I havent had a horse through the winter yet, maybe when I was 4/5 but dont remember anything 10years on.. Do you hack, school, etc?

I have just this minute got a new horse, cleveland bay x tb, gorgeous boy, hehe. He is 17 but still as fit as a 6 year old. He will jump anything and do every dressage move you can think of-piaffe, spanish walk-half past etc. He has come with a made to measure jumping saddle but we can only...

Does anybody use any apps on their phone to do with horses? I've heard about that 101 dressage exercises, it sounds really good. I also have endomondo for on hacks. Any others?
