Sorry I've got the tweed one....not a blue one though!

Thank you :) and everyone above. Dreading being asked to shut gates, she wont stand if others are cantering off...or even walking off....also I have poor wrists so shutting some gates can be a b***. lol. Is just general hacking, local show jumping etc. enough for fitness or do I need to step...

On and when one of my horses did it out of excitement a simple deep toned NO and a tap on her shoulder with my whip sorted her out and she knew 100% it was unacceptable and she hasn't done it since. She's so willing to please though she doesn't like being told off so is far simpler than a...

Excellent you've done the first thought of back, teeth and saddle :) as for curing it....I used to laugh at the "egg" comments thinking people were taking the mick, but it has logic. If you don't know, I had it explained that its makes the horse think its banged its head. Crack is hitting its...

Ok I set you a challenge. Needed: long boots for shows Colour: black Budget: around £100 Size: 6 foot/6.5 max....calf......17.5"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you can find some, PLEASE link me, I'm so depressed and feeling REALLY fat when I'm only a size 12-14 dress size and 5ft9/10! I Feel...

Also described as having lovely floating paces (god hear that all the time, but thats another thread!) and a good scoopy jump, he's probably only doing 1ft6 in the images as he's 11h. Just never even considered putting mine over jumps that young!

This isn't exactly going to be a show jumper though...I doubt. Its a native kids pony type. I guess it may have been just for photo purposes but still, I have a 3 year old and have no idea how he'll do jumping other than seeing him clear a gate in the field in tort and thinking "holly...

I was always taught not to start jumping until 5 years at the earliest, but I know many respected trainers in my areas start at 4 years and have been very successful doing it. However I noticed just now a 22 month old pony being loose schooled over a jump....is this normal?!

I have a lovely youngster, he's been a joy to back and hacks out beautifully with others (is even better behaved at times!) However we're struggling to get over the hurdle of hacking out alone. We're currently doing a mix of in hand walks up our long driveway if I'm alone, or I'll ride him up...

Thank you, probably such simple questions, but with absolutely NO idea having never used them, I wanted to ask rather than rely on google. Hopefully it'll work wonders with the youngster in hand. He's big and starting to get a bit bulshy and try his luck. Fingers crossed I'll get my gentle giant...

Ditto. Dog ate mine this week. No seriously..ate my hat :(

Hmmmm new jacket search it is! Only have a tweed as we mainly have native horses. Got boots and all tack is brown and always wear brown gloves anyway for the shows. Just need a jacket! :p

So how should the thiner ones be fitted? Also is it a case of slipping it on and off not undoing it each time?

yes thats the sort..didn't pay that much though ;) lol bargin!
