I had this issue its more of a nervous foetal position thing but I have improved it (and this is slightly embarrassing) by thinking Boobs Boobs Bum (as in what bits sticking out) on the approach instead of counting strides to keep me sat up longer. It is important to only say this in your head...

Agree with all the previous posts just to add, try desensitising with plastic kids safety scissors, they still make the noise but you can keep them on without worrying about hurting him if he faffs about.

Eye is an interesting mix of navy and purple however it looks like eyeshadow so I've just been making up the other one to match lol

Thought I saw yours when I was looking through the pics

I thought I'd share the pictures of my fun ride on Saturday as I'm rather proud of my girl and some people wanted to see the traffic cone outfit. We had an earlyish start so Tara was groomed, trimmed and wrapped up the night before, after despairing at the mane I'd trimmed by head torch, I got...

Not sure if already booked but eland lodge runs camps that I've heard are good

That saddle is beautiful as is your horse. Fun ride mostly successful, waiting for the professional pics, hope I don't look too stupid despite being dressed as a traffic cone

Got my youngster 1st "fun" ride on Saturday, wearing our neon orange matchy matchy so at least if she s*ds of with me we'll be seen from space, think Sunday will be recovering.

He's booking in for neutering, vets just wanted a check up first. We do play with him a lot and next time I'll trying staying in the room, interestingly I thought putting out out a hand would just result in an attack but I did it yesterday when he went for me as id put the toy down to answer...

Thank you for the replies, I think we are getting somewhere. I will try feeding him in their next time. It may also be hormonal as he's not been neutered yet, off to vets for pre-op check this morning. Apologies for awful spelling in the title!

I have recently acquired a 6 month old kitten that had 2 unsuitable homes within other halfs family (one with a young rottie and one with a 1 yo) he has settled in well and although I'm more a dog person lifestyle means that not feasible atm and it's lovely to have something waiting to greet you...

I used boots when backing and riding on as my mare doesn't always know where all 4 legs are, I now use them if doing lateral work or hacking, I sometimes use fleece bandages if I want to match and if it is dry. Mostly now I don't use them, if XC I will use over reach boots as well as brushing...

My mare would be pretty - as in "it's a good job your pretty" often said after she's jumped out the field, spooked at her shadow, bronced etc
