Hi puppy3866
The girls at your yard are probably just jealous
Why not invite them out on a hack and talk it over?
Hope this helps

I have just got back from camp and I came sixth in the SJ comp! I was riding a pony which I had never ridden before and it was my first comp! I thought the day couldn’t get any better and then my bestie won 😀🐎

Hi Barly the pony
My fave breeds is Connemaras and Welsh section As
I’m doing camp tomorrow and I’m doing it with my two best friends which like only seems to happen in books
🐴 😀
Hey LittleWelshPony,
Not the same one, mines at Chiddingfold.
It would be so cool if we were at the same camp tho!!
Hey NaomiSparkle,
Thanks so much for the advice!
We’re working on the ditch phobia using your method and it’s working so well! I haven’t ridden him over one yet but have done relatively big ones in hand and he only spooks a tiny bit!

In my pony camp a jockey is going to come and we can ask him/her questions which will be amzing plus then we’ll get our intro to racing badge
Also I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooopoooooo

I’d like my first horse to be a TB or Arab
I think I’m looking for would to the comps most at camp there AMAZING!!!
Glad you had a nice time at the show ponylover12
Hi littlewelshpony Mabey you could try and do a swap with another girl at your pony club for instance you could lend her an extra bridal and she lend some clothes I think purpal or pink could look nice as your XC colours
I’m going to pony camp day after tomorrow I’m sooooooooooooooooo exited!!!
Hi littlewelshpony
I am in exactly the same way!
Stubborn pony, not enough stuff, pony camp coming up!
Thanks everyone for the advice. I am going to start hacking more often and also do some XC as she prefers it to SJ. Thank you so much everyone 💗 XX

Hi yall I have pony camp this year do you and what are you looking fourd to or have done
Hi Naomisparkle
Why don’t you try a different activity for instance if you’ve been doing loads of SJ lately you could try some XC
Have fun at equestrian boarding school and I hope you and your pony will have fun to

Hi ponyhugs123,
I don’t know about any good shampoos but maybe try a Herbb Body Hugger apparently organic cotton is good for sensitive skin. My pony loves them. As for the XC stuff well since you said “he” I guess he is a Gelding and well Geldings and Cobs love food so maybe try just a small ditch in hand with a few carrots 🥕 to help him then eventually make it bigger until you can’t get over in hand and then go back to small but you riding then by the time you get to the big one again he should be confident. And lastly for the customised XC set I know that you can customise the Top and Hat Silk on Discount Equestrian buy I dunno about Saddle pads though you could just customise a top to look like a certain saddle pad eg: Lemieux glacé or weatherbeeta ombre.
Hope this helps ! X
And Hi EquestrianLover11111
I would say any cold colours eg: Blue, Green, Purple…etc. Though Red and Yellow also work quite well.

hi pony ppl! How’s it going??
So, I have pony camp in 2 weeks and XC on Spud – which I’m not particularly looking forward to!! I’ve never done it before and Spud isn’t…… the easiest pony to ride. He’s stubborn and spooky and is now prone to napping and bolting. I also have NOTHING TO WEAR!!!!!! 😫I’m currently 😅 broke. I feel bad asking my parents to buy me things because they do so much for me already. Any ideas?!?!?
Ponylover21 – WHAT?!?!? is that ssn 14?? I’m rewatching it again for the 😅3rd time and haven’t passed ep10 in ssn14 yet.
Back to XC, what colours suit a deep redish chestnut?? And a blonde/ginger rider (aka moi)
Help!!!!!!!
( quick – ponyhugs123, where is your Pony Camp? Mine is Berwick St John: at the same time as yours!! Same one? Jw. )
Enjoy le chevaux, ppl!
Byeeeeeee!

Hi NaomiSparkle!
I had a pony that was 13hh that I grew out of and I was around 10 but I was quite tall for my age but even if you are a bit tall for them they can still carry your weight as long as they are comfortable. I don’t know what age this esme was?? But I had a 12.3 pony who was 25 and I could still ride him but sadly he left me in a tragic accident recently but he was very healthy and happy when I rode him good luck with everything I hope I helped!

If your cob is shedding a lot you could try a de-shedding blade? I’m in the us so it could be called something else. If a bath is needed you could try a shampoo for babies.
Not exactly what you asked for, but I ride a 13.2 mustang pony who is around 15 yrs and we are still going strong! I’m move advancing out of him than I am growing out of him. For reference I am 12 and 4ft 11. I think This Esme mentions it in her riding story video.
Thanks for all the tips! I ended up doing my friends horse and her tack the day before and I took my tack home. We did great at the show, (with the exception of one course, the footing was dodgy and the horse I was on slipped).
