Hi puppy3688
Mabey you could just try riding a pony you know wel doing something that you know how to do wel like say a low jump or something
I just jumped my first 75cm course today and it was really fun
Good luck

Hi cantering Queen
To help get the best out of every lesson you could try keeping a riding journal I do that and it’s really fun so you can fill in the bits you want to improve/work on and the bits you feel pleased about you could also ask your instructor if you could do pc tests or something like that so that you would have something to work towards and know you’ve passed
Good luck with finding another horse to lease puppy3866 hopefully we’ll get our own soon 🤞

i fell off any advice on building courage
Hi sully’ s girl, I own a horse, I like trakehnnors, I love blue roans, no I don’t collect them, no I don’t read them, I like warm weather because my horse has a full clip, show jumping and I want to give horses bionic implants instead of them being put down if they break a leg.i live in Scotland, though we are soon going to move to an equestrian property in Ireland which I am so so so excited about.

Hi
I don’t live in the US I just live in Engallend
Sadly I don’t own a horse but I’m convincing my parents to let me
I don’t have a fav a horse breed or colour my fav pony is an Appaloosa Dartmoor X he’s grey and amazing
I’ve got quit a few sligh ponies but I don’t really collect I’ve got a few copy’s of other mags but pony is the only one I’m subscribed to
I like to ride in every weather in my last lesson it was raining sooooo heavily I was riding bareback and it was actually really warm
my fav disaplins are probably: XC though I haven’t done it for adages and SJ I also really enjoy gymkhana/mounted games I want to be an Olympic eventer when I grow up!🐴🏇🏻🐎
Hi Sully’sGirl!
1. I used to ride a pony called boomer but then my riding school sold all of their ponies and he was sold so I can’t ride him any more 😥
2. Belgian warmbloods or shetlands
3. Any, but I agree with you. I also love skewbalds
4. I hugely collect schleich horses!
5. Neither. I am subscribed to PONY and horse and rider and I sometimes buy a horse and hound if I have spare pocket money
6. Sunny, or slightly cloudy. Cloudy is good for hacks because if you are trotting for a long time then you don’t get as hot.
7. Showjumping
8. Show jump in the olympics!
Hi
So I don’t have a pony I only get lessons once a week and I want to know how I can improve and make the most out of my lessons.
Thanks,

Hi,
Does anyone have any tips for keeping ponies leg feathers clean? My horse Oliver’s a fell pony and has very hairy legs.
Hey! Anyone else from the U.S.? I have a bunch of questions for ya’ll to answer below ^^
1. Do you own a horse? I do! His name is Sully and he is a black OTTB.
2. Favorite horse breed? Thoroughbreds, Friesians, or Warmbloods.
3. Favorite coat color? I love blacks, but I also love dapple grays.
4. Do you collect Breyer models or other horse models? I’m not a huge collector, but I have a handful of Breyers.
5. Do you read Horse Illustrated or Young Rider? I am subscribed to both.
6. Favorite weather to ride in? I love cloudy days when it is cool outside. Where I live it gets very hot, so the cool weather is nice.
7. Favorite Discipline? Hunter/Jumpers!
8. Dream job? Be on the U.S. equestrian team!
Thanks for reading 😀

Hi Naomisparkle
That sounds tough
Can you school them seperatly if so why not you just take them just round the field separately then go a little ways into wear ever you hack then back again come back when they panic and build it up slowly
Hope you manage to sort it out
Hi puppy3866
Why not you try and find wear she’s going and keep I touch with her there if possible also mabey you could find out why she’s being sold and convince the person selling
I wish I could have pony more than anything but at least the owners of my fav pony are really nice I’d like a pony more than anything else in the whole intire world especially at my yard which is THE best and I really like all the livery’s and especially my fav pony who is absolutely 100% perfect
I think convincing your parents to buy you a pony must be one of the longest challenges ever!!!
Hi Puppy336
I had exactly the same problem in my yard about a year ago
She was going to be sold because she had thrown the girl who loaned her off too many times
Luckily my instructor gave her one more chance and I convinced my instructor not to sell her
What about you try and get her a second chance and then do lot’s of cool stuff with her so then (hopefully) she won’t have to be sold
I really hope this helps because I know how you feel

Hi Naomisparkle
If there is a riding school near you, you could try borrowing a pony from there for a day and turning one of Sally or Nana out with the pony while you groom the other in her stable
Also you could see if there are any pony girls (or boys) at your school that you hadn’t known they were pony-lovers
Hope this helps Jumping Queen
i have a problem my pony is being sold everyone is begging me to buy her.I cant i need to find a way to stop her from leaving
1i cant bear to let here go.she is my little pocket rocket pony she has taught me so much she is 8 and green
puppy 3866
Hi everyone, I have a little prob that I need to sort out…
So my two Mares are super attached ! The bigger one, Sally, only panicks if the smaller one, Nana, goes out of site buy Nana panicks just being away from Sally. We live in France and eventually my cousin is going to come and visit and we r gonna go out hacking together but Nana won’t separate from Sally and my mum refuses to ride out with me to practice hacking ! How can I get my horses used to bin separate ? I have thought of maybe fostering a Shetland to keep the horse in the paddock company but we only hv 1 acre of land and the farmers are very reluctant to sell anything to us, plus our grass really needs a rest !
Any advice would be good. I only hv 1 pony friend around here but she is 7 and not the best rider and we’ll out hacking both the girls need a confident rider, so I can’t ask her to ride with me.
Please help,
NaomiSparkle Xx
Hi
I think my fav lemuix colour is fusia ,coral and coral red
Aoiferedrosette xxx
Good idea ponylover12
I hope you have a nice time riding completely in your other yard and I think from what you said you made the right decision
Are you going to move your lease horse or get another one or what
hi luvmaponytoomuch I love looking through shires catalogs and stuff at loads of riding aquitment
what’s your fav colour of saddle pad
I like lots although perhaps pink cos it’s my fav colour everything suits my fav pony he’s sooooo beautiful
My fav ponies owners buy him lots of nubnas saddle pads etc and I love trieing them all on him allthough I wish I could own him
Hi littlewelshpony, I have lost a horse too, try to think about the great times you had together and perhaps make a memory collage to hang on your bedroom wall. Good luck

Hi, lovemyponytoomuch, I luuurrrve saddle pads as well, what is your fave lemuix colour?
From Olympia Girl xxxx

xx luvmaponytoomuch
We’re not allowed to swap horses :/ I might switch to riding full time at my other barn, to be honest I feel like I learn so much more there
