I have never heard about the chapstick one, I will try it later. Thank you.

my manners are not 'dire' thank you very much. Having numerous people slagging you, your horse and instructors off does not get you in the best of moods. I asked for useful tips (thankfully some people have actually given) not an opportunity to be slagged off. as for the comment of 'someone's...

At HOYS Barnsby had some really nice coloured bling browbands with blue and red crystals. It might be worth checking them out to see if they make green ones.

Once again, do not criticize me or my horse and certainly not my instructor. You have never met any of us therefore you do not have the right to criticize us. No offence, but I would much rather listen to my qualified instructors than what you say, are you qualified? most likely not. I never...

I know what the cause is and it's not my inablility to ride or the fact that I was supposedly riding heavy handed. The cause is that I was riding with rubber grip reins without gloves, the friction of them moving through my hands cause the blisters. The only resolution I can think of is wearing...

I am copying and pasting what I said to other posters as your criticism is exactly the same :rolleyes: Thanks for your lovely comment I really appreciate it . how about you try reading my earlier post to see what I said my horse was doing. My horses mouth is fine, he was choosing to pull...

I have very light hands, I don't grip the reins tightly (as so many people want to believe), if anything I don't grip them tightly enough. I am not pulling on my horses mouth and when he stops being stubborn (this is how he acts when he is being stubborn as well as refusing to walk calmly past a...

Thanks for your lovely comment I really appreciate it :rolleyes:. how about you try reading my earlier post to see what I said my horse was doing. My horses mouth is fine, he was choosing to pull like a tank yesterday and as I don't hold my reins tightly they kept sliding through my fingers and...

I asked for tips on how to get rid of blisters not a lecture on how I'm holding my reins to tight or i'm a pansy :rolleyes: My horse is a very strong, stubborn late gelded, 4yr old welsh D. He is currently going through a stage of grabbing the bit in his mouth and pulling downwards very...

I have some shires non stretch ones with a webbing core that are great and are very reasonably priced: http://www.shiresequestrian.co.uk/shop/product.php?productid=16320&cat=709&page=1 I also have some prestige ones that are lovely, the leather is absolutely beautiful. I highly recomend...

I think your all mad haha! I gave my hands a good clean earlier and that hurt enough so I don't think i will be trying salt and water (I'm quite a wuss). I have put plasters on one hand as I ran out so I will have to wait until tomorrow to get more. I will have to see if there is any...

When I got to the yard this morning I realised I had forgotten my gloves. I didn't have time to go back home and get them before my lesson so I ended up riding without them. My fingers ended up getting ripped to shreds and I have huge blisters on my fingers. I am never riding without gloves...
