That would be lovely :)

I knew you'd sold him on. I had heard that he'd been sold on again though.

Just curious. I heard he got sold on not that long after the original post. Hope he's doing alright. I wasn't the right owner for him but hopefully someone else was. Anyone know anything ?

I have a 3 year old gelding who's a bit 'nippy'. I smack him if he manages to bite me (even though he's usually tied up). He doesn't do it too often and when I smack him I try to remember to just smack him on the neck or shoulder so he doesn't get headshy. He seems to understand he's done wrong...

A big no no as far as I'm concerned. I really hate people feeding my horse treats.

I was in a similar situation about 5 years ago. I persevered with a horse that was too much for me for 3 years. During that time I lost alot of confidence and stop enjoying riding. I finally decided to sell him and bought something more suitable. It was amazing how quickly my confidence came...

I used to keep my horse on full livery in London which cost £125 pw. Then on top of this I had to pay shoeing, wormers, jabs, insurance, BHS membership, supplements, lessons, etc. I guess the whole lot totalled £650-£700 pcm. Now I live in the countryside I pay £30 pw DIY which includes...

If anyone has a phone number for Daniel Baddeley / Four Elms Livery can you please PM me. It's for a friend who is interested in moving there. Thanks Mx

Fractured wrist - previous horse and I took a tumble when he tripped over the boards - I should have watched where we were going. Broken ankle and leg - current horse lept and bucked when I poked him in his side while mounting - should have used a mounting block, plus should have remembered...

I think the comments on the facebook album say more about my preferences than about Bronski as a horse. It's sounds like he's going to do very well for his new owner. In fairness to Bronski he did pretty well for me too. My instructor thought I was mad to sell him but I decided we just...

found the videos ! they are here http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v46/burtondog1/bronski/ I don't think there's any videos of it but he was great at lateral work, I seem to remember he was particularly good at half pass.

I imported Bronski from Prague to the UK at the end of 2004. He was five at that time. He was bred in Germany from an eventing mare. I have an email address for the lady that bred him. She sold him as a stallion at 3/4 to a German dealer. I bought him about a year later from a dealing yard...

Looks like that's where I'm moving to at the end of this year or the begininng of next. I've visited a few yards already, one that seems nice with a lovely yard manager, but I want to make sure I've considered every option before I uproot my horse. No panic time wise, he can stay where he...
