Why do some people’s names only come up when you hover the mouse over the empty space?
How to I convince my parents to let ME buy myself a yearly Pony Subscriction?
Hello ZaaraCrazyHorseGirl
I am sorry but i have not found any but your may like to know this,
While I searched I found that half or them were for different reasons aka) Renting horses for Weddings, Parades and Funerals
and the ones that are to do with what you’re saying are not happening now because of Covid-19
If you did find one then I must be blind lol
Hello.
I’m new to Pony Chatter!
Here’s some stuff about me! 🐴
At the mo I have to tiny 9hh yearling Bodmin Moor Ponies (non- ride)
One is called Rio and the other is Logan and they come from the Mare and Foal Sanctuary which means they are loan ponies
Sadly they will have to be moved on soon and given back to the Mare and Foal to be trained further and finally given a forever home.
I also Have a 16.2 Dapple grey, Irish draught mare (she’s a bit big for me to ride comfortably) called Shelley.
She’s from the Metropolitan Police all the way from London! She is 7 years old and is coming on a dream!
She is normally ridden by my mum.
I have never owned a riding pony (my size) but I have some hopes for the future 🤞.
I’ll say again that im really sad that I have to leave Logan and Rio.
My mum says that we’ll have some time just with Shelley then we will look for a nice, experienced, older, happy hacker, gentle and forgiving horse. I have had countless dreams of joining the nearest Pony Club. Me turning up in a uniform and having fun with so many other pony-owning horse lovers like me.
Hugs and kisses from Lily’s Horse fam

Hey everyone!, so yesterday I ordered my August and July (even though July is over I didn’t get the chance to read that magazine) magazine and I was wondering if any of you knew when my magazine will come.
Thanks,

Hey everyone!, who has a horse/Pony?
Thanks,
ZaaraCrazyHorseGirl ✨✨
Hi guys! I’m doing a showing competition soon and I was looking at the classes. I was wondering about the pony club class. This class you just jump a height of your choice. However, I’m not a part of pony club and neither is my pony but he can do all of the pony club activities. Does this mean i cant enter this class? Thank you so much😁 Springles_pony123 xx
Hi, I want to get a new matchy fly rug and fly mask as my pony can’t stand the flies but my mums horse keeps on giving her love bites and I am afraid that he will just destroy her new rug like all of her others. We keep our horses at our own place and there is only one field so no matter what they hv to share. Plus they r inseperable so we can’t put one out for half the day then switch them round. I rlly want this rug but it will be just a big waste of money if my mums horse tries to bite my pony and rips the rug. Is there anything special that I could spray on her perhaps that would stop him biting her ? She has already got about over 20 Mark’s on her. I clean them everyday and put sudocreme on them but more just keep appearing. Plz help NaomiSparkle
Hi ZaaraCrazyHorseGirl,
It depends on what you want to do.
If u want a horse for a hack or a comp then you could become friendly with a riding school and ask if you can use one of the ponies for the day if it’s not going to be used in lessons. Or u could borrow a friends pony maybe. If none of this is any good then try going on Horsemart or Preloved for horses for loan, for some you can pay £30 and have a horse of your own for a week or two. Hope this helps.

Hey everyone,I had a question…🐴
Does anybody know any websites etc on rent a horse for a day? It would be really helpful🤎
Thanks,
ZaaraCrazyHorseGirl. 🐎 👉🏼 My name used to be Zaara because I didn’t know what name to pick but I picked a name!
Hey Springles_pony123, thank you so much for your reply!! it honestly means a lot to me.
For a long time i have been very scared on giving horses/ponies treats (because they might eat my fingers LOL) but you just told me that place your hand flat and next time i am definitely going to do that next time!!!
By the way, my nickname is Zaara…honestly i have to think of a name LOL….and if you cant see a persons name (if you on a phone or Ipad or tablet) then click the blank spot. (if your on a computer or Laptop) then make your mouse go on the blank spot but dont click it.
Thanks,
Zaara
Hi Amber24 and other person who replied, thx so much for your responses. I like the idea of taking her out for a walk, and also to ride in a field with the other pony but I can’t do that cuz the pony is never ridden, it is just kept as a spectacle, we live in France and here there r so many Icelandic ponies and Fjords cuz they r rlly cheap, so people just buy cheap ponies so they can say “oh, I’ve got a horse” cuz that is normally quite fancy. Thx anyway Amber24 and thx both for your replies. NaomiSparkle
Hi sorry I can’t see your name but the person who wrote about giving ur horse treats.😂 place ur hand out flat in front of him. Don’t worry about it because as long as you don’t have your fingers poking up or you don’t have ur hands around the Apple, the horse won’t think they are carrots and try and eat them😂. Just remember horses are such gentle giants and will not try to bite you on purpose it’s just they don’t have very good eyesight and think u r giving them carrots. Anyway, just keep ur hands flat and relax. He will enjoy the yummy treat of an apple😋 love Springles_pony123
Hey NaomiSparkle, 🐴 Horses get REALLY exited really quickly. And because your horse does not get to see that many other horses and ponies etc he can get really exited or maybe scared at some points (depending on how your horse is like). But being exited is honestly normal it’s like as if you have not seen other humans and when you actually get to see them then you start getting exited or maybe even scared. (I’m not an expert) 🤨but you should maybe train your horse or go on a walk with him and if he sees a horse you can simply just say ‘No’ to your horse or any other way…or you could google it!!
But don’t loose your confidence in hacking…honestly don’t…But I just want to say that I know this might not be helpful enough but the main thing is that don’t say that loose your confidence.
Just make a really strong bond with the horse..try to spend more time with him .
Hope this helped ☺️😁
hi NaomiSparkle its a good idea if you don’t see too many horses around a good idea is to ride in a field with another pony in
so your horse can get used to it also when you next go past the field ask a friend with a very experienced pony to ride with you if
you can’t do that then ride really confidently so your horse knows that you aren’t scared of the pony.
Hey everyone, I really love ponies and all. I have been horse riding and I can’t express how happy I was! I am a bit scared of some things and I was wondering if you would be able to help me!!
So I am very scared of going a pony some treats..like apples from my hand and I want to know how do I place the apple in my hand? Do I have to place my hand flat? It would really help me if someone replied!
Hi, when ever I go out hacking my pony always gets rlly excited about the pony in the field who we pas every time we r out. My mums horse reacts the same way. There aren’t many horses around here so the other pony gets excited as well which gets our horses even more excited we hv riding past it about 20 times but the reaction is always the same. Sometimes there is a dog or even a goat in with the pony too. Once we passed when the goat was there and our horses went mad because it looked at them. They r the same with the cows and sheep and the big tires stacked out side the neughbpurs house. Plz help I am starting to loose confidence in hacking out now. One thing is for sure, they hate anything else that moves especially big animals, they r fine if a cat runs in front of them on the road but if a cow in a nearby field looks at them then there is no chance of it being a good hack. Thanks in advance, NaomiSparkle
Hey everyone!, so my family are deciding to rent a pony for me for a 3 days or so….and i would really appreciate it if you could give me some tips and tricks!

Hi ponylover,

Hi everyone! I am entering a showjumping comp at my yard, but i havn’t been doing jumping very long. i can only do 80 cm, which is quite a lot, but still, i am the only one at my age to jump that high and the yard manager said that the course would be 90 cm. What do i do? i am super excited buut also super nervous. Anyway, my pony always jumps higher than the jump that she’s jumping! So i may actually cope, but im not sure. Please help?
