I watched this on TV, though only the in-hand bit) and thought the horses looked so uncomfortable. When the one horse was doing Capriole I thought that the handler looked frustrated with the horse as he wasn’t quite getting it. I came away thinking it was an awful display of horsemanship but...

Horrible to find out there is something wrong with your boy. Just in case this helps, my boy was diagnosed with hock arthritis at seven. He has had steroid injections but it is also managed by shoeing (lateral extensions behind) and keeping him trim, fit and moving. I was advised by the vet...

Utterly despicable. If he’d hit another human in the head with a hammer it would probably have meant jail time. I don’t understand why this doesn’t extend to animals.

Fylde or Ideal could go on the list as well. Join Welsh D Facebook group and search posts as it’s often discussed there.
