Rambo all in one turnout 200g has a permanent neck without a seam so it can’t come off, but it does have Velcro closures on the neck part.

I use these whips and find them quite reliable. There is definitely a difference if I forget to take one. I also hold it out if there’s a stream of cars passing, as I find that after the first one they tend to get closer and closer. https://www.ponyjumps.co.uk/Safe_Whip/p5051591_20859529.aspx

So glad he’s on his feet. Wishing him a smooth and speedy recovery.

Hope everything goes well this afternoon.

Another one here. Had surgery in June. He stayed at the hospital for nearly a week. Hospital plate for the first 2 months changing dressing every two days initially, then twice a week. For the first week to ten days he needed to be sedated to change the dressing, he turned in to a fire breathing...

I have one of these. It’s useful for keeping extra distance between horse and vehicle and reminding people what they’re meant to do. Says “slow down” for traffic from the front and “pass wide” from behind. https://www.ponyjumps.co.uk/Safe_Whip/p5051591_20859529.aspx

Have you tried a stable mirror? It really helped one of mine who would fly around the stable when I left with the other one, just the two horses. I’m told that the fist time I left with the other one he stood looking at himself for 30 minutes. This was a horse who I once met on the way back from...

Having been through the Dutch gag, Cheltenham gag, Waterford etc I ended up with a Myler combination bit. It applies pressure to the nose and gradually to the mouth. I think that there are various mouth styles to choose from, but it gave me some brakes.

Thank you. Glad you’re pleased with her.

Who would you recommend to back a horse? I like what I see on Sophie Seymour’s page but I’m based on the Herts/Essex boarder. Are there any people that you would recommend a little closer to me? Looking for next summer and happy for it to take as long as it takes. Thank you
