I can definateley recomend the mounting block and polos strategy! however long it takes keep at it, even if some days you dont get to ride and you just get on and off a couple of times. Start off just walking round the mountain block in big circles, then stop and make the horse stand with you on...

She does it on the flat aswell, not really badly or all the time. mostly in walk if that makes any difference?

Just a quick question, and probably a bit dense so sorry, but .... why does my horse over reach? Is it conformational or just due to a poor way of going? To be honest i have never really known why it happens, just what it is! Thanks

Am buying a new bridle and the rhinegold comfort snaffle has been recommended to me as a nice bridle at a good price, any thoughts on this? or any other recommendations? am able to spend up to £90 - 100. thanks

yeah, i am not planning on paying am hoping to politely point it out! .. and we do have a board but the YO lives just offsite and so doesn come to the yard v often as she has her own private yard. she is very ditsy!! cant really use this as an excuse tho as this is her job, i know if i didnt...

Sorry to moan but i really had to get this one off my chest as i really am not a very confrontational person, .... but I am FURIOUS tonight!!!! I am on a large DIY livery yard where the yard owner will feed, bring in, change rugs for extra fees. Well, i was visiting relatives today and so...

I'm 5"2 (just!!), and my lad is full up 15.3

I put fairly stickable in routine situations. Used to be awful but new horsey is definately helping my seat!! Can now stay on to his famous buck, spin, buck, drop shoulder routine!! lol. took a few falls at first tho!!!

thanks, he is completely sound and the school is sand. I was just wondering, i get a bit paranoid!!

This is probably going to sound like a stupid question but I was just wondering ..... my horse has thrown a front shoe and the farrier can't come out for atleast a week, would it be ok to lunge him and school him with only 3 shoes or would it be a bad idea seeing as he is uneven? Have never...

yes! with 6th form, work, coursework and 12 hours a week of gymnastics training on top of general horsey regime and riding, i really dont know how i make it through!!

thanks, just needed reassurance! some people at the yard that i am on can be a bit funny and only accept things done their way, (all horses rugged up to the eyeballs!). x x

Maybe a stupid question, but ... was wanting to get my horse clipped in a high trace clip, but none of my rugs have neck rugs on, will he get too cold do you think? He is turned out in the day and in at night.

How do Masta rugs compare in sizes to Shires rugs?? is there any major difference? do they tend to come up bigger or smaller? Help appreciated!!
