    What to wear to first hunt?

    He probably will freeze to death but we are not getting him a hunt jacket if its just a one off! He's decided to go because the hunt are meeting at the stables where we keep the horses and he is only going to the meet to see if the horse behaves - there are a few from the yard going and they are...

    What to wear to first hunt?

    My OH is taking his horse to a hunt meet for the first time on Saturday. He has never been hunting before, he's got beige breeches and long black boots and a black show jacket.

    Facet joint arthritis - any experiences

    He's only had one treatment, may speak to the vet about a course of treatment. He is ok with a roller on his back but put a saddle on his back the other day and he bucked it off - he works really well on the lunge and from an outsiders point of view it doesn't look like there's anything wrong. I...

    Facet joint arthritis - any experiences

    Thanks for the replies, i've tried putting him under the solarium and he went nuts! He's a very quirky horse and when he doesn't like something he tells you straight away. I've done a lot of in hand work with him and lunging with a pessoa and the vet said his back is nicely muscled. I think i'm...

    buckstop, any one used?

    Have you had his back x-rayed? My horse used to buck going into canter, the more you pushed him the worse he got. Had two vets look at him, full lameness work up etc, was told there was nothing wrong with him and that he was just trying it on as he was a new horse. I'm not the most confident...
