Dear all, I think you have taken my description completely the wrong way! My instructor describes it as cogs, when you get the hind leg tracking up that turns another cog, which in turn, turns another cog which lowers the head. She says the horse has to be going forward in order for it to...

Get some very bright/neon tape or vet wrap and wrap it around the bottom and top of the cord. Then when you look down it will remind you to unclip. Also my 5yo,15hh quite spooky mare wasn't bothered when I fell off, she just looked at me very puzzled.

Just need to let some steam off.:mad: Girl at my stables gets her horse to go "down on the bit" by putting her hands right down below the withers and uses a 'chain-saw' action. She insists the horse is going lovely but I'm sure the horse isn't very comfortable. I've always been told to have a...

Thank you, I think the 5 point breastplate is the way forward!

Use a sheepskin under it;)

Sorry for this but really need help so BUMP!

Just read a story about a horse called Skyla breaking its fetlock joint, not normally superstitious but...

Or not... picture not working :(( If you fancy having a look -----> feel free to look on my profile;)

Finally I worked out how to upload a piccy! Soooo... here's the new horse (with no name) Still people are telling me to keep the name Betty but thoughts about the name Skye???

I like these, they're going onto the list :):):)

She's kind of more ticklish, kind of?? Someone suggested she just may have been whipped?

I like Belle ;)) Noticed under your picture it said 'Ireland' This horse has just been imported from Ireland and is a bit sensitive behind the saddle flap and around its ears. I hear that the Irish (not meaning to stereotype in anyway!!) twitch the horses ears quite alot so that explains her...
