Horse & Stable Spray is a water based product labeled for horses, ponies, dogs, cats and the areas they frequent (see label for specific directions). It has a little water-drop on the label to help you remember that it's water-based. Horse & Stable Spray provides effective protection against many flies and other insects. It will need to be reapplied more often than Horse & Pony Spray, which is an oil-based product. Horse & Pony Spray is best for horses and ponies that are pastured.

Horses and ponies are measured in hands. One hand equals approximately four inches. Ponies cannot exceed 14.2 hands, and horses are classified as being 14.3 hands or more.

The upper jaw is wider than the lower jaw and allows the jaw to move in a circular motion. This can lead to sharp edges on the outside of the upper cheek teeth.

You are not required to have your own horse but Pony Club suggests you have consistent access to use of the same pony or horse and use of a trailer to get to meetings. According to United States Pony Club policies, all mounts must be at least five (5) years old and may NOT be stallions. Please contact our DC or one of the instructor's and we will do whatever we can to help you find a suitable mount.

Take a piece of baling twine and wrap it once around your horse or ponys' pastern. Mark on the baling twine the width of the pastern, measure in millimetres (mm) and select the nearest size available. (However we strongly recommend that for horses over 15"2'hh that you buy Large)

How many ponies you need depends on how many guests you have attending your party and how often you want them to ride. A general rule of thumb is that 1 pony can comfortably handle 15 guests in one hour, each riding a minimum of 2 times. Please contact us to discuss your function and together we can figure out what you need to best entertain your guests.

After the first visit by a Dental Technician, it is recommended that two visits per year be scheduled; Your Equine Dental Technician will advise you.

To locate your horse's race photos, contact the racetracks at which it raced, and they can direct you to the track photographer. Racetrack links: www.equibase.com/tracks/trackinfo.cfm If you do not know at which track(s) the horse raced, you can order its race record through www.equineline.com. You can view sample reports before you order, and sign up is free. Many questions can be answered by visiting the Registry website.

No. All our photos are copyright protected. If you would like to use them in another fashion please contact us for written permission.

The short answer is grass. A "native" pony will be of a breed that has survived in the UK since long before people domesticated them, and it will be well able to look after itself by eating what grows naturally - it will do best on a large area of poor quality grazing. The problem today is that farming means a pony can no longer roam wild, and thus its grazing is restricted.

We have arranged for photography to be undertaken for our websites. However the use of photographers is costly and can dramatically increase the cost of your website. Library images are a good alternative.

This simple fact was brought home to me one day as I entered the barn to find a small group of people gathered around Shadow, a beautiful black Tennesse Walking Horse. These were all experienced horsemen and woman, but as we watched the practitioner attach small electrodes to Shadow's fetlocks and croup and hook her up to the overnight bag-sized machine, we were all seeing something we hadn't seen before. I think a little of Shadow's history is in order first.

Fortunately, they're all over the place here! There are many ways to find horses on VHR ? here's just a few: Try looking on the bulletin board linked in the left menu. Players often advertise horses for sale here. The Marketplace lists all horses currently for sale ? and you can look for specific breeds, colours, training types and even genders by going to the Search Horses link.

No, you don't have to own one. There are Pony Club Centres (click on the link to find one near you) which are generally riding schools or stables. Membership of a centre is specifically designed for those who do not own their own pony: you will be able to ride the centre's ponies, take tests, learn about horsemanship, and so on.

Ponies will be advertised for sale in local newspapers, and the "free ads" (typically yellow) papers are a particularly fruitful source since placing an advertisment costs nothing. You may also find ponies advertised in local tack and feed shops, on notice boards in riding schools, and in Pony Club newsletters. Most Riding School and livery yard owners buy and sell ponies, and will be able to advise you about local sources.

No. You can rent grazing, or possibly share with a friend who has some; or you can keep your pony at a stables or riding school "at livery". For a beginner livery at a riding school is best. They manage the pony for you, and have experienced people who can answer your questions. There will be instructors, a school ring, jumps, probably help with transport, a farrier on tap and a lot of local knowledge.

The first point to bear in mind is that keeping one pony on its own is unkind, as ponies are herd animals and really need the company of their own kind to be happy. If you can't keep two ponies you should consider providing some other sort of four legged company, for example sheep, but another pony or horse is best. You won't have any trouble finding a "companion" horse or pony who has retired to share your field.

Nearly every pony that I know of (except for some of the most unusual variations) is on this site, so it's likely that the pony you're looking for is here somewhere. Furthermore, most of these ponies can be identified using the Pony Identification Search where you will learn the names of your ponies and other information about them. Just answer simple questions about each pony you need identified, and you will soon be taken to the section where you can find your answers.

The Society can produce passports for registered animals. A colour and marking form will need to be completed to show the markings of the animal. If the pony has the original registration certificate, then the passport fee is ?10. If the original certificate has been lost then the fee is ?20 for duplicate papers. Marking forms are available from the Society. No, the Society can only do passports for registered Welsh and Welsh Part Bred animals.
