I love my horse, but I'm getting to the point with him where I feel like I have done almost all I can with him. He schools and works absolutely fab at home and he is great at his jumping but my main goal for him is showing, this is an area where at home he appears have a great deal of potential...

you're just a snob, bet me and finn coud beat you any day, you don't impress me showing me a photo of you jumping you're strongly built horse over a tiny jump. and the other one of it cantering and you holding the reins horribly. and tbh if you look at the image of finn trotting, there legs are...

what do you mean, body double? sorry for being so dim. :S

to be honest our horses are built quite alike so i don't know what you're calling him 'beef' for

funny that because he clears it. second of all your horse/pony seems to be about as strongly built as my horse so don't know why you are calling him beef, he is a muscly [content removed] , [content removed]
