Just thought I would update. My daughter helped when back home again. Horse was terrible when asked to leave field with her & went to bite & barge her, although ok to put headcollar on. It took 15mins of lunging from headcollar to bring him in (was using lunge line rather than lunge line to...

I am in W. Hants. Thanks everyone for the helpful posts esp Honey & Hollycatt who have made me feel better.

I had him vetted, teeth are fine. Just feeding calm & condition with chaff - the same as he was on when I bought him. Only change in feeding is that he is on a bit more grass now I think. Out 24 hours, with about an hours easy work a day. The scarey thing is the sudden change in behaviour after...

I have 25 years experience of horse owning, have brought on 3 young horses, used to assit with breaking when a teenager and dealt with wild new forest ponies when younger so would say had plenty of experience myself. He was sold as a bit green ie hadn't been out & seen much, just hacking and...

I have competed once at level 2 & judged regularly whilst my daughter competes. She is taking part in Young Riders European Trec Championships in Italy at the moment. You only need the spare boot & farriers tools at level 3 or 4. Can do level 1/2 without these. Trec is fabulous sport...

I would like to wish the GB Young Riders Trec Team good luck for this weekend when they will be competing in the European Young Riders Trec Championships that take place in San Piero in Bagno in the Cesena-Forli province of Italy. The GB team members are Julia Knight-Jones, Anne Bolton, Eleanor...

I have just looked at times for the Dengie 2nd Round at the weekend and there are quite a few who are entered in both the open & novice sections. I know that other people qualified for both but had to choose one at the preliminary rounds but some people obviously didn't have to - not a very...
