    Tips for 'untraining' a horse to turn with inside rein

    I have started to school an unschooled 12 year old horse and whenever I use my inside rein for flexion he immediately turns. Does anybody have any tips to untrain this aid of turning with the inside rein and reinforce that inside rein means ONLY flexion and outside rein and leg aid is to execute...

    Have you bought from a dealer in the UK recently?

    Thank you! The Facebook groups are just a bit messy and don’t make it easy when a buyer just wants to find a decent dealer nearby. I hope this will help in the future once there is more data. For now I would ask anybody with an experience of a dealer to post a review or suggest them if not...

    Have you bought from a dealer in the UK recently?

    I am able to make a reviewer anonymous if they want to and have received threats etc. Running a site doesn’t make me law enforcement so I can’t do much other than help where I can. Any threats received from dealers should be reported to the police immediately.

    Have you bought from a dealer in the UK recently?

    Yes I understand what you’re saying and agree it will take time but everything has to start somewhere. The more people can contribute the more balanced the reviews and ratings will be. I was thinking about introducing a feature where the reviewer can submit some kind of proof to verify a...

    Have you bought from a dealer in the UK recently?

    I have recently started a dealer review site to make it easier for buyers to know which dealers are good and which to avoid. I have been trying to find a list of dealers to import without any luck. Now I need to add them manually and get as many reviews as possible. If you have bought from a...

    Market research: Is anybody interested in a dealer review site?

    Thanks for the suggestion about photos. Yes I have a marketing plan. This is just the first prototype of my working site. I’m an experienced digital marketer and have digital product development experience so I have a good background for this. I think that once I can demonstrate to a dealer...

    Market research: Is anybody interested in a dealer review site?

    Yes charities would be a great idea. I need to start by getting more dealers in there and getting more traction but once I have that I will be in touch :)

    Market research: Is anybody interested in a dealer review site?

    Yes very good idea. The difficulty is that dealers could easily forge invoices or any type of proof of purchase if they wanted to. Would have to think of the best way to verify how genuine reviews are.

    Is anybody interested in a dealer review site?

    Yes very good point and probably need the same for Scotland and Wales. Thanks! The problem with the groups on Facebook I’ve found is you can’t just select your county and sort by highly reviewed and poorly reviewed unless you know the name and can search a specific dealer in the threads...

    Market research: Is anybody interested in a dealer review site?

    I have created a dealer review site where eventually I will allow the highly rated dealers to post horses for sale (particularly useful since Facebook has recently stopped allowing sales of livestock). Is there anything in particular you would like to see on a site like this...

    'Pinchless' loose ring snaffle- should I get an 1/2" bigger?

    Thanks for the advice. My horse is just below 5 1/2 so it would probably be fine. I think the description about the palate is referring to the French link not the pinchless part. I live near so I guess I can go to the tack shop and ask. Thanks again for your thoughts :)
