Good news, after leaving him be and changing to happy mouth straight bar we had no issues when coming to bridle x

I have changed bit to happy mouth and bridled happily x

He was tied up properly, to string that broke x had it been an issue before I wouldn't have done so x and you would try to bridle a horse that was in pain? I left it so long to ensure no issue with soreness in his mouth x

My new boy decided to go play whilst I was in the middle of tacking up. Long story short he pulled back from tie up and the string broke but not before he managed to get the bar of his fulmer under his lip. Its obviously hurt him as he is not wanting to have a bridle near him. This was almost...

I have imported three horses from Spain, all gelded and they settled well. I have an opportunity to import a colt, 2.5 years, currently living with two other young stallions happily. I have nine acres of grazing, separated into two paddocks, well fenced and with natural shelter to the...

He will be my forever horse but I am a horse owner and have been for some time. The difference is, I am choosing one for me as opposed to being found by those who were in need, when vetting was not a priority, giving a safe secure home was x
