I think living on hills and having rocks and things to negotiate is a good thing. I remember once, I got an off the track TB gelding. He raced until he was 7,...
Hi Karen, I remember years ago coming across a horse that was terrified of trees!!! She had been raised on one of those perfect farms in a small flat paddock,...
Oh Karen, I couldn't agree more! Not only does "negotiating" their environment make for a more surefooted pony--but, at least in my opinion, it makes for like...

Hi Lisa, The trainer with Pooka & Curran also uses a bit similar to yours, except it has "keys" which dangle from the center and gives them something to play...
Karen, You are so correct. My best Arab mare in endurance started at ten, and they h ad tried to make a show mare of her. She had never been out of an arena,...
Hi Maureen, Strangely enough we inherited the bit from a friend who had retired her last horse from competition-so I got lucky I guess! I'm pretty sure the...
LOL, Brannigan used to be scared of boulders. We didn't have any of those in Wilton, or at any of the showgrounds we went to. He has since gotten used to...
I've never liked those. I had too many youngsters who got so involved in playing with the keys that they'd get to bobbing their heads and twisting them around....
I don't like loose rings a lot, but I liked the looks of that mouthpiece on it. It's always handy to have a few good bits. Everyone seems to have one bit that...
Thanks Sue, Ballyshannon are pleased with what Roskeen is throwing.. What was the breeding of Peggy Channons mare? That is the one I was thinking of.. Robyn.. ...
Hi Karen, I know, I agree, it does look perched up there but when you get on, the foam kind of compresses down and it feels GREAT!! It is soooo comfortable,...
I feed both flaxseed meal and black oil sunflower seeds, in pretty small quantities, as I don't feed much grain to my fat girls. The sunflower seeds (which my...
Because I ride tabletop flat girls, my husband suggested I take up ballet and ride en ponte instead of doing the saddle. Within the past year, Poppy has...

Hi all, Just so that you don't think you're bouncing from the list, here are some photos I took last weekend. This was a national competition with fences up to...
Hi Jenny Thanks for sharing the photoes :o) I really like Killpatrick Fionn and saw him at Falsterbo Pony Grandprix a few years ago. Are there any offspring by...

Hi All has it all gone quiet on the list or has yahoo fallen over? Nothing has come through here for two days now :( I will also check my settings - but as I...
Hi Sheila, Well, I've been out to Colorado looking at Mary P's wonderful ponies and she took me around to show me others in the area as well. :-)? It was so...
Hi Robyn, Peggy's mare was Gl Flora (Finbar-Roscrea) - a full sister of Gl Rosaleen and Auntie to Po. She was smaller than Rosaleen but otherwise they were...
