Thanks for your advice everyone I think I went into panic mode!! Thinking oh my god what have I brought. Does anyone have any more tips on bonding with a new horse

Oops!! I took him out in hand down the road today and he only stopped once when my other horse neighed and he herd, I am getting a professional rider out to him this week to hopefully nip it in the bud

That thought had also crossed my mind! He's been with another horse and they seem to get on well, I have separated them today I.e one out and one in and they both seem very relaxed by not being able to see each other no box walking neighing stress signs etc

I did give him a good chance by talking to him stroking him etc but when I started to get abit former with him he got really worried. If it had been a different horse who could take a whip I would but I really don't want to take that approach I definatley think the softer approach is more...

I've recently brought a new horse and have been riding him at home the past few days. He's been on one hack with another horse and was fab and another hack on his own with someone walking besides him and didn't bat an eyelid. His previous owner hacked alone all the time and he was living alone...

just to update - i have now had a full refund from said saddler however i had to fight hard for it as they had lots of excuses as to why the new saddle was such a bad fit, such as lack of facilities at my yard (i.e no school) even tho we have indoor stables with concrete floor and a nice flat...

Hi all, So I email her yesterday stating all my issues and not had a response as of yet. I asked her to reply in writing. I have contact gfs to advise them and they have asked me to keep them posted. I've also taken it up with my credit card company who are starting the ball rolling. Well I...

No idea I think it was just something to say I ordered the saddle and she had fitted it

hi i was wondering if i could contact the society of master saddles as after all she has completely lied and i know of at least two others who have had a similar experience of said person

she asked me to sign something but i was given no paper work?

Temple bar has just raised a very good point!! I was actually expecting her to reflock it when she was here, the reason she took it away I am unsure of! Prehaps it was because of the fact that the original flocking was so hard? I've just added some more pictures to the album

how do i put the pic up ive added it to my ablums?

What does everyone think to this photo? I left him dirty then worked him so I could see the marks from the saddle and there seems to be a huge amount of area behind the shoulders that is still dirty and has no wear??

The problem I have is that I've had the saddle 6 weeks obviously it's started to get marks but the saddler told me to give it a few weeks for the flocking to settle down etc. I've spoken to her this afternoon and she basically said that the monarch are a cheaper saddle so there's going to be a...

hi sorry just to update ive had the saddle 6 weeks now and im due to have it checked now as she said call her after 6 weeks, i think the saddler that says its fine will be happy to confirm it in a letter i just didnt know where i would stand with the situation.
