    Opinions Please!!

    Sorry Planete and Faracat I should have said my full title of the report is 'How did the art of manege change the way we view history and does it still influence the way that modern day dressage horses compete and train today?' sorry for the confusion, it was something that Lucy Worsley refered...

    Horse Choking itself??

    No she doesn't choke on food or have a cough and she leans on the throat latch area. Beginning to think it may just be a habit

    Horse Choking itself??

    I know of a horse that leans on a gate or stable door and leans on her throat pressing down quite hard in order to make herself choke. she isn't breathing in any air when she does this and does it randomly she may only do it once a week. What is she doing and why? anyone know?

    My pony used to do this a bit when I started schooling her and my trainer said to push her forwards more to stop her from doing it and not to try and slow her down. She said it was because she didn't want to go forwards and to her was the easy option! this stopped after a few weeks to a month...

    Showjumping Troubles

    Thanks for the advice I did a clear round last year and she went clear first time. We are playing around with bits at the moment she's currently ridden in a hanging cheek snaffle bit and the saddle has recently been checked. She's very strong minded! Will definately get her out more in the summer.

    Showjumping Troubles

    I'm having trouble with competing my pony in the Showjumping Phase of ODE's. We are relatively new to this discipline and only just started competing in it. My pony gets very nappy to other horses and won't go forwards in the ring (outside the ring she is very forward!) last time we were...
