Gutted - really disappointing first day with new pony

[FionaM12]

My daughter used to have migraine when she was a teenager and she was prescribed migralief. Don't ask me how, but I discovered they're amazing for a bad hangover. They kill the pain and work on the nausea too.

So when I'd been out on the lash, I used to steal my child's prescription drugs.

I was an excellent mother.

Damn I have the willow bark, but the newts and bats have started their hibernation, but got loads of Ibrofen will it still work

you need to get a batch in the spring, and dry them, ready for any winter emergancies!

So presumably the OP has now been scared away from HHO for life. What a shame.

yes I don't suppose she will ever appear again it is a shame as you can get great help from this forum I hope it all works out ok for the pony.

This was my first time on the forum. Guess this is one site I won't be using for advice.

Ponies, pretty much all ponies, are very intelligent and will take advantage given the chance! I would find an instructor, and if you get the opportunity, someone a bit older and bolder who can ride him occasionally just to remind him that he can't always get his way!!

Also remember he will take a bit of time to settle, and it's definitely worth getting the saddle checked.

ETA - Oh dear, not read the rest of the thread...

This post is nearly three years old. Not sure why it has been brought up again?!

Maybe you didn't realise you'd come across a three year old thread to post your first comment on?

You might get a truer representation of the forum by choosing a current post to read through!

Yes, sorry, I only realised how old the thread was after posting. I came on after searching google and the thread came up randomly. Hope things have changed, as would love to have somewhere non-judgmental where I can go for advice in the middle of the night when a pony issue is niggling.
Apologies again for resurrecting what was a (clearly controversial!) zombie thread. I felt so sorry for the OP as I am someone who has only recently returned to the horse world and will no doubt ask some very stupid questions (not saying I thought the OPs question was stupid!). I am still nervous about what kinds of reaction I will get on here to some of my newbie posts, but do realise I stumbled on a particularly poisonous thread, which hopefully isn't indicative of the atmosphere on the forums now.

Horrified, if you're a new returner to horses why don't you have a look in and possibly post your questions in the New Owners / Riders forum on here? They should hopefully be a bit gentler with you

Tack room's pretty tame these days anyway, Horrified.

Unless you ask what rug to put on your horse, or if polo is cruel anyway...

OTOH, this thread reads like a "Who's who" of posters loved and lost

A word of advice, absolutely do not post any threads asking if you/a rider is too heavy for a certain pony.

Those threads rarely end well
