I hate destructions!!! Never read them, that's probably why things don't work when I get them!!!!!

The dogs not much good either!, but thankfully the OH can read, so he's not too bad......can't bl**dy make coffee tonight though!!!!

The Sky man left just as I put the kettle on....

Door shut and Sweep and I are cuddled up on the sofa

Just the weather for the school fete then - boo hiss!!!

Out of interest anyone use a Pessoa?

 

[samstar]

right I'm off to my bed, strangely its got abit nippy

night everyone, and for you slink

xx

 

[f_s_]

I haven't but know people that have.

Ummmm, not really a fan of gadgets, but, in it's defence, it depends on the person using it! The one's I knew didn't have a clue!!

and they completely wrecked the horse!!!

Other people have said they have had good results with it though

Night Samstar, see you tomorrow!

Night Samstar

 

[ldlp111]

it is other side of taunton at pontispool would want to leave at 4.30pm to get there for first class.

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Night samstar - and thanks!!

Hope your beds warm......

S_V - never used a Pessoa - I know there are people on here who use them with great success. The only person I know with any experience of it wasn't good - her horse was on full livery and instead of excercising him properly they were putting him in a Pessoa to work 2/3 times a week. Luckily she got him out of there quickly but it took a while to undo the problems it caused.

Like everything - I think if used properly as part of training programme and used the right way can be very useful.

 

[f_s_]

If you only have a couple you like and suit the horse then you should be ok.

Please be fussy about the saddle though, and don't just take it 'cos you're in a hurry. Perhaps if you find one, you could ask if you could put a deposit on it and use it at the show, then pay for it the next day??

A sort of mini trial!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

ldlp - you maybe able to get there if it all goes smoothly

. Sorry think I may have missed your early post - brain is a bit full today

- have you got a saddle now or is the saddler bringing more to try?

 

[ldlp111]

right guys im off to bed too.

slinky hope the lil ponio gets better soon.

nite all x

 

[ldlp111]

oh well phoned saddler didnt have another secondhand one that would fit so gotta take that one back. anyhow went to wychanger got 3 to try one my and friend think fits well jumped in it felt ok diff but ok, so having saddler out to check before i buy.

nite x

 

[sea_view]

I won one in a competition and I have lunging Paddy as part of his training so I am kean to use it, I put it on him the other day on the low setting but I wasn't sure if it should be tightened or not as he was lolling about with his head in the air so was thinking it was too loose but I didn't want to tighten it incase it was too tight - the instructions that come with it are minimal.

 

[f_s_]

Is little Jess any better? Just read the post about someone else's pony who had a similar wobble and it was ok!! Hope the same happens in your case. It's awful when things happen that you have no control over, and are really unusual.

Night

 

[f_s_]

Night S_V.

Just about the pessoa. I think that when you use them it needs to be for a specific problem ie: not tracking up/working from behind and through the back. Vet told me the same can be achieved with a figure of eight loop, made with stable bandages!!!

Also, I think it does take time to get the horse used to the action, and to soften into it. Sorry, if that doesn't make sense, I don't think I explained that very well!!!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Night ldlp!!

f_s- she seems more herself - but she has been ever since her siezure this morning (was an awful thing to see

). Fingers crossed that it is an infection rather than ragwort poisoning - must be the only weekend I have been wishing away for Monday to come round.

S_V - I would do a post for help as I know there are a lot of people on here who use them so can probably advise on them. No wonder so many people get using them wrong if the instructions are pants!!

Have you tried Google to see if there is a website with more instructions?

 

[sea_view]

I'm not away to bed I was saying night to ldlp

 

[f_s_]

I do hope that it is something small and can be sorted quickly. Poor little one must have wondered what was going on!!!

The worst thing is the waiting, but I'm sure, if she's looking brighter now, that she will be ok. I'm still crossing everything!!

Sorry S_V!!! Evening!!

 

[sea_view]

Have tried google but they seem a bit vague withthe instructions - I'll do a post and see if I get much back

 

[f_s_]

There's a post somewhere with a link to some instructions, in you tube form. Perhaps search on you tube and it will bring them up

try this

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

f_s - thankies!!

I think she is wondering what she has done now as she is in a little pen with her buddies charging around outside!! We didn't want her to be on her own but also didn't want her to get hurt by the others by accident if she had another seizure. I hate it when there is something wrong with any of the animals......

S_V - defiantely worth a try as you don't to undo any of your good work by getting it wrong. You would have thought that for a piece of kit that costs as much as it does there would be a better instruction/user guide with it.

 

[sea_view]

Ta much f_s!!!

 

[f_s_]

I hate it too! OH says I'm manic when somethings wrong with them!!! I'm not, honestly, and I would even say I'm quite together, but inside I worry like mad!!

My mini seems a lot better today, moving more freely. Still staying in though, he's got no chance until he's fighting his way out!!!

Even then, he'll have to battle with me!!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

My coblet is the same

- was looking just a bit tender out in the field today so has come in - was already being arsey when I went to give her a final haynet for the night!!

Will be in a right strop by the time I decide she should go out - she obviously thinks she should be out now so god help me!!

Glad your mini is feeling better though - lami is so cruel to them.

 

[sea_view]

Cheers all, I have put a post in NL so I'll wait see if I get much back. Meanime I'm off to bed. Night all S_U vibes still sending all the while and the rest of you take it easy. Spk tomorrow

xxx

 

[f_s_]

Night S_V speak to you tomorrow

I'm going to retire too, get warmed up at last!!!

Hope Jess continues to improve, let us know tomorrow Slinky

See you all then

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Thankies S_V and night!!
