he doesn't complain, really! just says that it can be hard on the back as they are small.. just like you said! Now, Eamon is always happy to help people like me with one or two ponies, not that easy to find, as usually big stables are main priorities and we small owners come last if ever... and he is very good at his job

Great place by all accounts... hired their indoor not so long ago.. Owner & staff are very friendly & its very well run...
On another note if anyone knows of a decent 128 pony for sale let me know... Pony hunting is WAY tougher that horse hunting!
Going for a lesson at Rathfarnham equestrian center this week to try and get myself saddle fit again!
Does anyone have any experience with them? It is my first time going there...0 -

If it was a while ago, I would have known the perfect little pony... he was awesome. We had no riders for him but I used to hop on his back and trot up the field with nothing on him to the gate (which had a bank just before it). I was the first person to back him about 3 years ago (I'm tall but light) and he didn't even flinch. In fact, I didn't even know he wasn't broken until I was sitting on him and was told. We sold him to someone who then outgrew him and bought him back. Now he belongs to a little four year old girl who takes him out hacking and everything! If he ever comes back (don't think so, the little girl loves him), and you're still looking, I'll let you know
On another note, had a bareback lunge lesson yesterday. My knees are quite sore today

I would highly recommend it! Tried sitting trot on a bouncy horse today with a saddle and I didn't budge
Can't wait for the next one! Though, the horse I was on apparently never had someone do around the world whilst moving so kept stopping once my leg went over...so I had to sit backwards for a while. It was just in walk but it felt so different to front facing. 0 -

Perfect, just a few scrapes on my back where I landed on the boulder/gravel, and on my tummy where the horse trotted over me to go eat grass :rolleyes:
It was one of those falls that you aren't entirely sure how you ended up on the ground... one minute I was up in the air (she took off and started bucking as soon as I swung my leg over so no stirrups nor reins), next thing I know I'm underneath her with my arms around her neck... no memory of grabbing her neck or swinging under her
I really should have been able to sit it out
Ah Yeah, falling is the easy bit, the landing is what you should dread No seriously though, if I began to dread falling, I'd throw myself off to remind me it usually doesn't really hurt... 0 -
