Gutted - really disappointing first day with new pony

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.

LMFAO!!

I dare you to go on mumsnet and say that!
 
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...
 
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 ;)
