I'm the opposite end of the scale and showjump mine. He has 2 days off a week, 3 x schooling, 2 x jumping. Or if our week doesnt involve a show he is hacked out one of the jumping days. Weather and mood permitting! He isnt the easiest to hack shall we say. Although he's a jumper I think flatwork...
Its also totally NOT cool to wear a hi-viz! Just the way it is unfortunately. I used to go out with mine on then tie it round my waist as soon as I got out the gates! Its a street cred thing I think.
Boo is perfect....to look at :P

Definitely not a dangerous horse though. Its tough one as there is right and wrong on both sides, horses can be...
I'm the other side and was a seller, just recently sold a horse and a horsebox for decent money, had a lot of calls and interest and every email/phone call/text I replied to. Its not hard just to phone back a missed call or answer a text/email. Takes 2mins! I know theres the other argument of...
