I have a homebred pony that grew withers between five and eight! He was officially measured at 5 to be 14.1HH and at 8 he is just a hair under 15HH. To ride he never felt down hill/heavy on the...

If he caught up with himself once its likely he will again.

Thanks Jess for mentioning our lad Eclipse--He has a number of offspring who have won on the line including both our regional breed shows, USDF Sport Horse In Hand and Future Event Horse Series. His...

I also add loose salt--as I have found that not all of mine consume enough of the block salt to meet their daily requirements.

I am in Northern California--many of the BNT in my region DO offer turnout in some form. Some have access to extensive pasture while others have limited space--but most do allow for some type of turn...

Northern CA--trainer comes to me 65$ for 45 min-hour private. A little less if I travel to her home.

Local BNT's are running $55-$110 an hour for private. I dont know anyone offering semi-private...

I am a hearing impaired rider and I am always amazed at how little my horse reacts to even the loudest noises. I honestly believe this is because I rarely react to such things. On the other hand he...

I have not seen "drooling" as a symptom of either IR or EPSM--can someone direct me to that information?

Devoucoux Mendia with a long flap.

sounds like she is getting lateral--there should be a definite, rhythmical four beat walk---feels more like doing the hula while cycling.:winkgrin:

My thoughts exactly---some are more ready to do "more" and some are not. Some are more mentally mature than physically--and vice versa.

Our Native ponies tend to be completely mature by 7 (like...

hey I got a relative to your lad, she is fantastic! And TB--less than 3k and 17HH. (gonna breed her to my connemara pony:D)...She is currently working about first level with plans to event...

Or be successful through the levels...my other pony (14.1HH Purebred Connemara) won both his 2nd and 3rd level tests this summer in excellent company (warmbloods).

I still vote pony...this is my purebred Connemara who came en-utero (stallion of my choice) when I purchased his mom. He is five years old and consistently scoring in the middle-high sixties through...
