Hello Izzy Gillespie hope your doing well! what i would do is that when you go to your riding school or were ever you ride, talk to you instructor and ask them to help you out also learn about stable management/caring for ponies. when your parents come and pick you up, get your riding instructor to talk to them and say how well your are doing and what you need to work towards things. they will start to notice how well you are improving in your management and also riding. hope this helps
Hiya! My advice on persuading your parents for a pony:
(I’m working on this with my parents too =D)
1) make sure you have a solution- you need to know where you can keep it, how to afford a pony etc
2) be persistent- dont pester because parents do not like that🤣 but keep bringing it up here and there to make sure they know you’re serious and it’s not just a faze.
3) be practical- will you have the time, the money and the passion.
Hope that helped! Sorry if not enjoy lockdown and hope you get a horse 😉 xx
Hey everyone!
Izzy Gillespie,Do you ride at a riding school if so you could see if they have any half-loans or if anybody in your area.Try to show them you are responsible.If you have other pets try to commit to them.Learn as much as you can.

I’ve got pony care as one of my subjects, too! Yes, my school has closed. I wonder how many people are on the Internet right now as we have to do online learning? Unfortunately, my riding school has now closed but I think they’ll still get lots of cuddles from the yard staff!

Hey guys, there’s this pony, Bumble, at my yard, who when you ask for trot, he just gallops around the arena making everyone fall of. He really makes sure he has his personal space and I had a fall because of it. The pony I was riding, Wilma,( best pony ever) was doing a pretty average- speed trot, but Bumble decided it wasn’t fast eneough and promptly bit her on her hindquarters! She teared forward and I landed on my back. Any advice for riding around unpredictable and naughty ponies?
Thanks!
Hello, for those struggling to catch their ponies, don’t catch them whenever you want to ride. For the first days, just give him a pat and a treat and walk away. ( without the head collar ). Then you can do the same with the head collar. After a few days of this, put the head collar on and take it off again.
Lead him/her to the yard and give them a groom. Now, you should be able to lead them in to ride!
Hope this helped, The Lemonade Palominos

Hi guys!!! I have a 7 year old 13hh bay cob mare that cant be ridden because of long term leg problems. Where we keep her there isn’t a functioning arena so I can’t exercise her in there. She keeps edging overweight and since she is prone to laminitis I need to keep on top of her weight and exercise. Do you have any exercise tips for me?
Thanks

Hi! There is a lazy pony named Gizmo at a stable I go to and he hates it when you try to put his bit in his mouth and I try to do all the things that everyone else tells me to try but I just keep getting bit! Any advice?
is the bit to small/big/strong for him?
No we had it fitted for him and the person who helped us fir it said that it will last 5 months and it has been 1 month since we did it
thx for replying
Maybe if you were trying to sort it out short term then give him a carrot or something to eat while you put the bit in or for long term you could randomly go in and put the bridle on and then take it off again to let him now that the bit doesn’t only mean work. You could also use a bridle rather than a for some things- E.g. catching and taking out.
thanks this worked XX and thx for the advice
