Reviewing A Pony in the Bedroom: A Journey through Asperger’s, Assault, and Healing with Horses by Susan Dunne. Unlike previous books I’ve read and reviewed, such as Nerdy, shy and socially inappropriate and Pretending to be normal this isn’t written up as any kind of handbook to offer advice to those of us getting to grips with our autistic selves as adults. But there are still plenty of lessons to be learnt here, and the oddest thing about it? It was good to read a book from a woman in the UK. Sometimes it feels that we are lagging behind the rest of the world in our understanding of, and writing on autism, so reading a book set in places I know, and speaking the words I grew up with meant a lot to me. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt! A horse or pony in their more ‘mature’ years who will hopefully be more suitable for you if you’re looking for a horse that is well-schooled in their best discipline.

In a statement on Monday morning, the PJA said that while it has a policy “of not commenting on ongoing investigations … out of fairness, respect to the process and to natural justice being served without prejudice”, it “must comment on the current, deeply concerning situation”. At Kells Equestrian we start pony camps from Easter onwards, throughout the summer months. For further information please give us a call for the next dates available.

This case is close to reaching its conclusion, with directions hearings scheduled for the near future. It is an important case and one that the BHA is taking very seriously. Cases such as this may be complex and involve significant legal representation. As much as the quality of training is more important than the time spent, it is still vital that whoever is training the horse or pony is willing to commit ample time to teach the horse what you want them to learn. Be it halter training or ground manners, to more complex dressage or showjumping techniques. Horses might be animals that are eager to please, yet you need to remember they are unbelievably sensitive flight creatures who need time to build trust and a bond with you. Horses and ponies respond superbly to positive reinforcement because of their high intelligence. Horses and ponies are herd animals who are naturally social animals and enjoy the company of others. Studies have shown that they develop relationships with one another, create hierarchies among themselves, and seek companionship when possible. The PJA published a Code of Conduct in May which was the first of its kind in racing. We expect our members to abide by this code. We want to ensure that our sport welcomes everyone and we agree that people need to be held to account against a set of rules and codes of expected behaviour.
