Going showing soon and need to leave at 6;30 am (when yard opens). Will bath night before but he has poo all over his hocks and stifle- right where rugs don't cover:mad:. Help needed asap please! :)

basically what the title says- how often should you jump a green horse? :p

I have a 15.1 horse with fairly short strides, please could somebody help me with distances between bounces, and distances in grids? I usually use heel-toe steps:) x

Hi, I am going to unaff dressage soon and have been told to wear a white saddle cloth square by one person and a black fitted numnah by another! Which would look smarter on a grey?:)

Anyone have riding instructor recommendations, preferably in Hertfordshire, able to work with me and my young 7yo on flat then over jumps to eventually compete bsja (hopefully haha!). He has had little schooling so need a patient instructor! thank you x

Thank you for your help :)

OK I will try all of this! Thank you so much!

That is such a great idea!

No we haven't tried him bitless actually! May get my instructor to help me try him without the bit next time she comes, thanks. Hopefully the dentist will check him and he can be more comfortable if it is blind wolf teeth as you suggested x

Bless her she is gorge!

Thanks- shall be doing this haha! makes it harder as he has some mane rubbing!

Dentist is coming next week however we have only have him three weeks and before this had a five stage vetting done. I don't particularly want to just force him to stop but want it more to be his choice (that made no sense haha). He jumps in a martingale but we don't want him to wear one at all...

Thank you. Yes we have had a professional to help us and it is mostly a case of pushing him forward more into the bit. However he suggested the lozenge as it gives him something to play with? I was just wondering if there is a specific type of lozenge or shape anybody could recommend. Thanks again x

We have just bought a 15.1hh connemara who is perfect if a little green but that is to be expected! However he shakes his head around and bobs his head un-naturally. It may be because he is young but we do not want it to develop into a horrible habit! He is ridden in a french link eggbutt...

My horses mane is quite thick the top and then kind of fizzles out at the end, he is new and I have been putting off pulling it for fear of messing it up but I think I need to get a grip and do it haha. Do you think solo comb would work on his mane type? thanks:)
