Thanks all. I’ve had a look at videos regarding disengaging hindquarters and plan to try this with her today. Just at a total loss for what else I can do :( all I want is a horse I can hack without worrying about stupid behaviour.

Webble, the circles are probably about 3-5m, if that! I also carry a schooling whip which when gets a firm smack with in conjunction with a kick whenever the napping starts. She has been known to rear if you smack particularly hard though. Most effective methods is normally inside rein wide open...

Thanks both. I’ve tried changing her feed but it made no difference. I was giving her Agrobs Aspero chaff for a while but stopped because it was expensive and I wasn’t seeing a difference in her behaviour. She also wasn’t a huge fan of and wouldn’t touch the Thunderbrook equivilent. I’ll have...

Over the past 6 months, my horse has taken to napping (Spinning around to try and go home - she grabs the bit in her teeth making it very difficult for me to stop her) and rearing whilst hacking alone. She does not do this in company or if we have someone walking with us and is an absolute saint...

My horse has now decided she doesn’t fancy her hard feed (1/4 scoop of fast fibre and a handful of happy hoof molasses free) now she has moved to 24/7 turnout. She’s normally the greediest horse going so I’m quite surprised by this! She was previously on 2 feeds a day, primarily to have...

I definitely prefer mares. I don’t like the neediness of some geldings and find mares are often more intelligent and willing to work with you. Someone else mentioned the need to micromanage some geldings which I completely agree with. My horse of a lifetime is a mare and I must confess, I would...

Thanks guys! Ruggles are annoyingly out of stock in her size which is 6ft :( they don’t have a neck in her size either. Frustrating as I could do with it fairly soon!

With a fit that is going to suit a cob x Dales please! Horse is having her mane rubbed by her 100g turnout rug at the moment (All the rest have detachable necks and don’t seem to have this problem!). This is a Masta one and it fits her really nicely but it is no good if it’s going to make her...

Hi all, thanks for the advice, it’s much appreciated! Will not be burning any bridges, I can assure everyone of that! Finances and the 4:30am starts come in to it too (As well as the turnout) and YO is well aware I’ve struggled a lot over the past couple of months so I don’t think it will be...

Thank you :) that was my plan and to be honest, is one of the main reasons. I’m exhausted and fed up and it’s not fair on me, my partner or my poor horse who I’m too tired to ride atm.

Thanks all! :) I pay monthly at the moment but livery prices are quoted on a per week basis. My payment is due on the 1st every month so I’ll speak to her today to let her know my intentions and see what she would prefer/allow me to do. I don’t really have the money to pay a month at my existing...

Just as the title says really! I’m going to look at another yard for a second time today with OH for his opinion but am 98% certain already. My current yard doesn’t have enough grazing for the number of horses living there in an ideal world and my girl has only been turned out in the school for...

Looking for diy/grass livery in East Grinstead/Forest Row/Dormansland/Hartfield areas for one well behaved horse. School isn’t essential but excellent off road hacking, good grazing and all year round turnout is. I’m ideally looking for a small or private yard as my horse will not settle on a...
