Thank you so much! He really loves it doesnt he, he was mainly hunted before i bought him, but i think he adores the showjumping these days :)

Thank you! :) yes were going to Stradbally tomorrow for the weekend to the Riding Club festival, So exciting!! it,ll be our first little holiday with some jumping on the saturday, hope to get out and do a few ODEs soon, feel like my riding club membership has been wasted until now! :rolleyes:

Hey everyone, tiny bit of backround (wont bore you) my horse had a recurring injury that kept him out of work from August-November (2012) and then again Jan-April (2013) so i really couldnt imagine the day we,d be out competing again! Last Friday we set off to our first riding club...

Im afraid there's no such thing! My horse has cost me hundreds of euro in vet bills in the last 8 months and been off work for 4 of those months...all from an injury he sustained in the stable! I really dont think the market is in a good condition at the moment, even the cost of registering a...

BEAUTIFUL horse :) I personally wouldnt stud such a young horse, she needs to find her own feet! Iv come across youngsters that have no clue how to balance on grass becuase all their used to is studs! Think if you were constantly wearing golf shoes (studded) in a filed then someone put...

Thanks so much for the replies I'm hoping this is what it's down to!! I'm going to cut it down to a tiny handful and wean him off it then soon! Fingers xd it works! :-)

i know what you mean but its not his character at all, he was off for 8 weeks box rest last year (same problem) and he was an absolute lamb- and that was coming off summer and he was fit as a fiddle before he went on rest! thats why im considering it being feed thats affecting him! im not...

Fantastic! ye look like a great team and you,ve got a real nice solid xcountry position- well done :D

This might seem a bit off the wall as i never consider chaff to be a heating feed but lately my very chilled I.D has turned into a spooking nerve ball (who bucked me off on friday) never in the 2 and a half years iv owned him has bucked! now he was on box rest for 10 weeks in which time he...

its a disaster!! my boy still looks like he has a full clip still he was clipped in october!!! no sign of a summer coat!! its freezing!!

my horse was a terrible traveller when i bought him....(but always loads perfectly) So.... i put him in the box every few days with a feed to take his mind off it didnt drive anywhere just made it a pleasant experience for him, i always bandage him up with bandages and fibergee and he wears...

Hey, Im living in Ireland and i can honestly say iv never had to leave my horses heavy stable rug on until this late in the year?!? i mean its the first of may tomorrow!! he had two rugs on until recently! damn weather!! Are yer horses still rugged up?!

Hes handsome!! you two seems like a great little team :) the only thing i can see just to watch is sometimes when he jumps your hands are coming back just a fraction, which over a bigger fence may affect his balance, i spotted it at 1.25 i think, its literally a tiny bit but i do it myself...

Oh no sorry to hear, that's a nasty cut! :( my horse had a massive gash to his fetlock earlier this year, the vet said it would be horrifically scared due to the excessive granulation tissue (proud flesh) but i was determined to get a good result i used a product recommended to me by my...

Thanks guys! haha il fit right in so :D
