AWWWW SO CUTE!! What breed?
whats the heighest u guys have jumped? and with out sounding creepy how old r u guys?
I am eleven

😉
Cool age
What school in NZ do u go to at 11? Here we have primary from 3-11 secondary from 11 up, and at 16 you can either do college or ‘sixth form’ at secondary. I’m going to college in September
Primary or Intermediate
When do u start intermediate ? In September?
No, I have already started.
U start in February
OH that’s a better time to start. I KNOW ONE GIRL who turned 11 on Sep 1 and still had to do another year of primary, 10-11 rather than secondary cos heer birthday was in September
I got my first cat at 11, good age!
I liked ten better
hahahahaha
OO why?
There was better weather to go horse-riding!
Hahahhahahaha
So sorry if it sounds creepy, but when is ur bday?
It’s not creepy 🙂 I’m sixteen
I’m only just starting learning to jump, so basic size
Anyone got and views on what saddle brands are the most comfy,best value for money ect? I had a Kent and Masters saddle that doesnt fit my pony and we’ve had a look at the prestige saddle but they aren’t that comfy.
John Whitaker saddles are supposed to be quite good, you could look them up. Sorry I can’t be more help, but I don’t own a pony so don’t have that experience xx
Thank you! xx
Welcome xx

21:32 xx What about NZ? XX
8.52 on saturday xx
We’re still Friday 😛 xx

It sooo confuses me on New Year .. like you’re In New Year when we’re still New Year’s eve xx

Ik And some places are behind Uk,.. it’s all so weird. x

Do u like living in NZ?
I do
It looks very beautiful
Yeah in summer!
Haha same with Wales!!
It looks a stunning place , though
Also Wintecs!
Thank u
Thats fine
I used to ride in one, and it was SUPER DUPER COMFY!
🙂
:))
How long have u guys been riding?
3 years on and off wbu?
Two years, but constantly, about twice or three times a week!
Wow I wish I could do it that often! Do u compete?
Not at the moment, but maybe later in the year, but the pony I was going to compete had been a nuisance, and it is a shame cos he had EXCELLENT jumping bloodlines, and I LOVE jumping!
What a shame. well hopefully you will be able to soon. How high can u jump?
80cm is my maximum, but when doing courses usually 40cm to 60cm.
What about u?
WOW. I’ve only just started jumping, so basic
How all are the horses/ponies u ride?
I usually ride 13hh-15hh
Same.
I find them a good height for me, wbu?
Although I usually find the smaller ones are the cheekier ones! 😉
Yes I agree with both of those statements!!
But it is good to ride ponies with spirit, so you can know how to control/ride them!
;))
Totally! I love cheeky ones, greedy ones, naughty ones..
SAME
Even if it does mean getting bucked off every day!
Hahaha
I’ve only fallen off once, but had a few bucks… Love it, tho!!!
I have been bucked off quite a few times, but never seriously hurt, apart from when I was concussed mildly!
Oh my goodness that doesn’t sound good !!! Glad that’s the only thing
Yeah, but the only thing I was worried about was going into the big xray thing!
It was MASSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!
Ugh I have never had an xray but when I see them on TV they do look SOO BIG! Looks like it could swallow u up, almost… But I bet it was fine for u ?
Luckily it was only for a couple of mins, but the noise it made was so WEIRD!!!
Really like some alien thing then 😛
Haha – yea, a bit
Although when I go to Spain on holiday andd ride there, it’s usually 16hh
COOL
I would love to go to Spain!!!!!!!
My grandparents live them, so I see them once a year 🙂
AWESOME
Do they ride, or did they used to ride?
No they haven’t ever ridden but there is a stables nearby them. Actually I think my grandma had a few lessons
Yeah, my Nanna used to be a good rider
I don’t know anymore though…
So what got u into riding?
I saw Mark Todd riding on TV, and when on Christmas Holiday I went on a trek, and I have loved it from then!
Oh awesome .. mark todd is from NZ isn’t he?
Yeah
Hey, it is Summer when we have Christmas here, wbu?
Christmas is Winter here 🙂 We never get a white Xmas though, but England and Scotland usually do
I have always wondered what it would be like to see a white xmas!
Have u ever been in a whit xmas?
Similar with my family
Yeah, my mum, aunties and uncles used to ride, and compete!
Really?? Awesome!!!
I know
But my mum never really liked it, but still had her own pony!!!
She was soooooo lucky!
I know.. I’d LOVE a pony!
ME TOOOOOOOOOOOO
But I already ride often, but it would still be AMAZING to have a pony!
Totally relate. I live in the countryside and see ponies daily .. but I WANT ONE!!! 🙂
LUCKY!
I would LOVE to live in the countryside! I live in a village, but close to the countryside!
Ye it’s nice 🙂
I bet!!!!!!!
🙂 🙂 🙂
I love seeing horses every day!!!
8 yrs
WHOA
do u compete?
I might later in the year or next year
yep
Is it fun?
I was going to compete but the pony I was going to compete on was being a rascal, so not at the moment.
But……………..
Do ya jump?
If so, how high???????/
about 90cm, the highest i have ever jumped is 125cm on my coaches hack
WOW
The highest I have jumped is 80cm!
Hi guys
What are your favourite colour of ponies?
Mine is chestnut
I love white , but I love all colours really
Yeah, esp dapple grey eh
But they get SUPER muddy here in New Zealand
Wow awesome u live in new Zealand!!! :)) Haha ye I can imagine 🙂
Yup
It takes FOREVER to clean them, and then they just get muddy again!
Oh yes, greys…..
Do the ponies in Wales get muddy?
Yes, we practically get about nine or ten months or rain in Wales.. this year has been an unusually good summer but we usually have rain almost all the time.. AND LOTS OF MUD! SO YEAH FOR SURE!!! 🙂
I thought so
How cold does it get?????????
Coldest is usually -2 winter nights. Anything below that is very unusual .. and we don’t always get below freezing. We never really get very cold and snow, just about 4 degrees and rain
Same here
We only get snow on and around the mountains, and it looks really majestical!
Same. .we have some nearby mountains and that’s the only snow we get although we had a snowstorm this year
Whoa
What happened?
We where ok. It was only one day we where snowed in
We never get anything like that here
But we often get floods
How do u cope with them?
Here, in Hawkes Bay, we don’t usually get them bad, but when they are bad, we have to stand on the roof!
We’ve never done that, but other families have!
Oo WOW … I’m glad it isn’t usually that bad””
Yeah, me too!
We have had a few droughts though!
I love seeing horses every day!!
That’s fine
🙂
Sorry replied to the wrong comment
I’m glad we don’t get bad snow, too
Usually the only time I get to see snow is when I go tramping in the mountains and when I go skiing!
I rarely see snow too, but I haven’t ever gone skiing .. I’d be terrible
I was terrible when I began, but I love the snowball fights!!!!!
Sounds fun :PPPP
It is
hahaha
I should do it one day 🙂
You would LOVE it
everyone loves it!!!!!!!!
Or maybe 2 days. But we survived 🙂
I love piebald and just plain blacks. I live in NZ too!
I live in Hawkes Bay
Wbu
Soz if that was a bit creepy
Nah all goods 🙂 I live in the Waikato
Cool
Do ya go to Pony Club?
Yup, Pukekawa pony club. u?
No, but I might soon.
Maybe see ya there!
😉
that’d be cool. do u have a pony?
Not yet…..
But I ride three times a week at the moment, and train/ride another pony – jumping
😉
What age are ur guys ponies? I have had some bad experiences with older ponies (cancer ect) so my new pony is only 8. what do u think?
I don’t have one sadly; but I think that too young isn’t good as they can be a bit green for a first pony , but it’s also nice having time with horse. Then again, it’s lovely when old animals aren’t looked over
Who has got the latest edition of pony??
hi guys whats up
Nothing much 🙂 Just chillin ‘ 😉 How many horse books do u have?
hi guys what is your favourite colour of horse mine is palomino and strawberry roan
my fav is piebald or just black
Cool. We used to have a lovely black foal up the road
Cute!
I saw her a few days ago, she’s now a lovely yearling!!!
I bet she is gorgeous!
She is 🙂 !!!! Very friendly too
I love palomino and grey best 🙂
Greys are cute but very hard to keep clean! Lol
I know.. do u have a grey?
no but i have a piebald! with fully white legs!
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww cute!!
And trouble!
That’s the kinda horse I like!!
same! Do u go to a riding school?
Yes but I haven’t been in a while as it’s so pricey
Thats a shame! What riding school?
A local one called Hundelton Riding school
I have no idea where that is because I live in New Zealand but I learnt to ride at a small stables in the Isle of Man in England that was really good, Maybe ask ur mum to have a look online? xx
WOW! I would love to visit New Zealand, plz tell me more about it! Sadly it doesn’t have a website (the riding stables) but of course u can look up Pembrokeshire, Wales online to see where I live xx
NZ is really cool but at the moment it is winter and quite cold and very muddy! My pony Winston stays at my coach’s house with my old pony who one of my best friends now owns! My favorite thing to do in the summer is to go to the beach with the horses and gallop up the sand dunes the go swimming! My dad used to live in Wales! xx
That sounds amazing. In our winters, we are always very bleak .. although it’s a Wales speciality. England usually get snow we just get rain . It sounds incredible though where u live 🙂 WOW do u know where in Wales ? xx
No im not sure, just that he grew up there for a few years 🙂 His name is John Rhys-Davies and he an actor. He plays Gimli in the lord of the rings. Do u have any other pets at home? xx
That’s awesome! My bro is obsessed with the lord of the rings trilogy / books!! He actually has a very welsh name!!! Yes a cat called Jojo.. a ginger and white 7 year old semi feral. He’s super friendly though. What about u? xx
Cute! i also have a cat (that’s sitting on my lap right now) called Slinky, black 5yrs and fat, a couple of cattle and my 2 ponies! xxx
WOW that’s a lot!! My cat is usually fat but he loses weight in the summer. How long have u had cattle? Whats your cats personality like? xxx
We’ve always had a couple of cattle, our cat is ur typical fat indoors black and white cute cat, we got her from my friend about a year ago when her family moved to Dubai. I’ll show u a photo of my pony.xx
