100% I also avoid Heather Moffett, she is a whole other level of conspiracy theories level of unhinged, its very sad, I used to follow HM for the riding/training stuff, but its too much off the wall for me now.

I avoid PH on fb as she comes across as unhinged, but I have to thank the OP for the use of the word kerfuffle, I love that word!

Neck in instead of shoulder in is the most common thing I see when I teach, so you're not alone. Its because the neck is what we see, so its the first thing we try to fix, also, being human we think we can fix things with our hands, so those two things combined creates neck in. Personally, I...

Wheres the flaming livid emjoi when you need it?

I hope Bertie is continuing to improve and Jess is doing well today, I'm keeping the healing, positive vibes coming for you all x

I'm impressed that you start without stirrups, but I dont because once I've done my ten mins walking I know I'm going to do rising trot and/or canter with a light seat in my warm up, so I'll need my stirrups. I use those first ten mins of walk to think about my position and check in with how...

You're all going to hate me, because I love schooling at home, and I have to be careful not to do too much. Firstly the schooling should be in three chunks, warm up, work, cool down, and it can take a little trial and error to find what exercises are best for your individual horse, but unless...

I'm so sorry Mrs J, lots of positive healing vibes to Bertie and Jess xx

When they retired Carl built new stables just for them, they had their own retirement suite, just the two of them nearer the house and away from the main yard to give them peace and quiet. Anyone whose been on a yard tour will have seen it, its also been on camera as Carl has given several...

I was just there for work, I started off working for Brian (Harold's brother) in London, and when I was 18 and left school I went to NI to work for Harold. When I was there we just had the one end of season event, and Harold ran a transport company sending horses all over Europe, and he had...

Sorry to interrupt your plans, but you gave me a proper blast from the past when you mentioned Lusks! I worked there when I was 18 (a very long time ago!) It wasn't a competition centre then, apart from the eventing held there at the end of the season. I also worked in London for Harold's...

Totally agree. I've been appalled at some of the comments I've seen over the socials, I completely understand why he turned the comments off on his original post. Carl has known those horses for over twenty years, he's ridden them, trained them, been with at all stages of their lives, they...

Twice I've let strongly pair bonded older horses go together, and both times I've felt absolutely sure that I was doing the right thing for the individual horses, horses I knew so, so well, and even with hindsight I dont regret it for a second. Carl didnt do this on a whim, he did what he felt...

The end of an era. Two such incredibly special horses, its only right that they should go together. They had a wonderful retirement, it was such a joy to see them woolly, muddy and happy together in the field, I recall one day seeing Uti being cheeky about being caught, he was dancing around a...

Thats the beauty of music! You can go wrong and noone knows, trust me, I've gone wrong a million times, just know your music really well and you can always fudge it. I dont have a 20 x 60 at home, so I only ever ride my floorplan the one time I hire an arena to film it, after that its only at...
