DD rather than FB, but why would you clip a 7 month old

I've known youngster being clipped when they're a bit lousey (licey?!)

Just seen a livery stables advertising space. Part of the ad stated 'lost track of the waiting list '. That doesn't really give me confidence in the competence of the owner!

Tbf I went every day after school too, but that’s just me

Me too.

Working for my £25 a week livery.. somehow for a few years a worked both weekend days and a few days after school got to go hunting if you helped with the yard that day as well. Years before I got brave enough to ask to get paid actual money for the other days. Mum was very much it’s your choice… but you’re being took for a ride. I was helping back youngsters, we started at 7:30 when boss would come get us, some times in the summer we’d be bringing in the last rides at 9 o’clock sometimes I would literally just change pony and be riding for 6-7 hours

I learnt a lot. Good and bad but realistically without that opportunity I would have never been a good enough rider to work with horses, go to college or actually learn to ride (everything but the basics was pretty much self taught in terms of working a horse properly…). I hope kids are still getting that experience out there.

But Good God I put weight on when I stopped that I’d never ever had to watch what are as a teenager. I was a rake (didn’t appreciate it at all..) eating everything and anything! Hard habit to break.
