I can't post any photos at the moment as using my mobile. I just wanted to see if anyone on this forum has any pictures of the above breed? My share horse is this breed and she is the most fantastic little mare ever!! She is so sweet, clever and most importantly so well behaved when ridden. I...

Just a little rant really.. I had been riding a little cob for someone last year but stopped as I lost confidence with him. (I struggle with confidence with riding) since this I had had the odd ride on a friends pony but hardly ever. However I decided that I missed everything horses so put an...

At the moment I seem to of developed a habit of losing my stirrup (left side) when trotting or cantering! I don't know if my balance is a bit off but my foot seems to slip through the stirrup or if it doesn't do this I end up totally losing it altogether. I just don't get why?! Is it my balance...

If you have a horse at a yard but there is one horse that is dangerous to deal with and you have to have close contact with it I.e in the field, turning out and bringing in. I helped my cousin today with her ponies and this one horse is a brute, walloped her horse in the side as we were...

I have recently stopped riding a young cob for a friend as I just didn't feel as though it was right for me. Just briefly, it was to do with the fact he was only a 5yo and me having confidence issues just didn't match. The pony was fab for his age, I can't knock him for that. He just had 'baby'...

Has anyone else got a lazy pony? I've started riding someone's cob for them as she can't really ride much at the moment. Anyway he's such a sweet little thing and very much a confidence giver which is perfect for me as I lost my confidence quite badly. He's only young so I'm not expecting too...

I am hoping to start sharing a lovely young cob very soon. He is very safe to hack but very lazy! Hacking is all he has done I believe. The yard he is kept at does have a school and some days I would like to ride him in there rather than just hack. However I am wondering what sort of thing I...

One of my friends had a lovely little black dales type pony, 4 year old who he invited me to hack out. Now I haven't ridden in a couple of years as I have lost quite a lot of confidence with horses and riding but I took him up on his offer and found the pony I rode to be absolutely lovely! He...

I just thought it would be a nice thread to give a special thanks to the pony/ponies who taught us how to ride as youngsters or our all time favourite pony. Please include pictures if you can :) Mine was Lucky all I knew is that he was old and a strawberry roan gelding! He wasn't the...

I feel like I need to vent to get a bit of anger off my chest. I just feel 'used' by someone close to me who asked to borrow money and pay me back the next week. I said yes, absolutely fine not a problem and gave them the money. Didn't get the money when asked so I gave them the benefit of...

Is there anyone else who has given up horses on here? Forever or for the time being? I gave up horses a couple of years ago now, mainly due to confidence issues. I got that annoyed with myself I thought it was best to stop. The break has done me a world of good, if I ride now I'm fine. (Okay...

This is a bit pointless and I really don't want it to be seen as advertising because I'm not, I just want to try make this a happy ending for my old pony. Bit of background info is that I took a 4yo welsh sec d mare on loan back in 2010 and she was basically a hat rack, big wormy belly and...

My border collie who I have had problems with in the past walking (other dogs, cars etc) is coming on very well! It was mentioned in the past to take her to dog classes and agility training. Whilst I would of loved to I didn't quite have the confidence but now she is coming on so well and we are...

When I was a lurker before joining I was reading a thread with interest about someone who had a little Appaloosa pony who was a little sweetie but she was describing him as sometimes acting like there was nothing there, no light switch inside when he just zoned out. Just wondering if there...

Naughty but made me laugh!

I have a lovely border collie who is honestly my world, I love her to bits! She was originally my step dads mums dog who only had her 6 months before she sadly passed away. My step dads mum got her from a rescue centre and all they really knew was that she had been found as a stray but was...

Hi all, Just wanted to give a brief introduction as I'm new here! Didn't want to join in on posts and you all think who the hell is this randomer?! I probably won't post too much because I don't currently have a horse or ride. I've been around horses since about 1996 and had many years of...
