    Do you think anyone would swap a yearling for a 3 year old?

    While not naming, have you thought about talking to the source the cob came from? not sure anyone would do a straight swap, or rather be in a position too.

    Anyone else box resting at the moment?!

    Mines on BR as of today, hopefully not for too long as has thrown a huge splint and is mildly lame on it. He did have lovely clean legs all around until this, so gutted on that front and that we were just signing up to BD for our first party. Horses ((((rolls eyes)))) all the best to...

    Spanish (PRE) Horse People - some questions for you

    My pleasure Eva, I try not to leave any stain to fester, but with that spray, I find it pretty easy to keep them at bay x

    Lynn Russell Quic stain for stable stains, they come off in a jiffy - no problem. Spray on, rub in and foam, sponge off and as clean as a whistle x

    Spanish (PRE) Horse People - some questions for you

    It took me months to find a bit mine was happy in, we settled on an eggbutt NS, the thinest I could find as he has a small mouth. I wouldnt dare put a neck rug on, but have used a snuggy jams with no problems. I also plait his mane and leave it for a week or so, then wash, dry then re-plait...

    Spanish (PRE) Horse People - some questions for you

    Congrats ! he is gorgeous x I imported mine 6 months ago now and dont regret a second. I used John Parker and was extremally happy with them. Coliseo walked off the transporter 5 days later as fresh as a daisy, although might have dropped a smidge of weight. He was worked the next day and...

    Richard Maxewell "type" in Kent?

    I have regular sessions with Suzanne, she is amazing and very down to earth. Ive also used her for loading sessions and she brought her lorry to practice with. It took her 2 hours to load my boy, after various people had failed for 5 days running and of course he was going up and down on his own...

    Ideal saddles, opinions on "crown" version/finish please

    I bought a 2nd hand 'crown' Tonishia, which has the textured leather flaps. I have to say the saddle looks almost brand new, with minimal marks where the stirrup leathers usually rub. I would highly recommend x

    Diagonostic techniques for shivers?

    It does look reminiscent of my boy, but Boris had it far worse. In the 10 years he was with me, I had never been able to pick his back feet up and his front also had a tine shake to them. Once fit he did go onto compete at BD, so id advise with these horses to keep them as fit as possible to...

    How long after a broken humerus are you back riding?

    Mine took ages im afraid. I smashed mine about 2 inches up from the elbow and it needed a plate and 6 screws to hold it together. I was in a sling for 12 weeks and then my elbow froze, so then spent a further 3 months with physio trying to get it to move. I started riding again after 6...

    Andalucian, Lusitano & Lipizzaner Enquiry!

    Mines been here since November and isnt bothered by the weather at all, in fact he has half the rugs that the warembloods on the yard do and has been naked during the daytime for a couple of weeks now. Very different to a warmblood, I wouldnt have anything else now.

    My PRE learning medium canter

    Thank you x Of course you always run the risk and or are inviting criticism, but I am very proud of both horse and trainer. He doesnt have a particular problem with going forward, unless he gets tense as he tends to concertina (as do most PRE's im told) so even though the perception in...

    My PRE learning medium canter

    On reflection we have already pulled back on the counter canter and come back to trot after the first corner. Likewise with the mediums, now we know he is willing to be forward, we now rein it back and only ask for a small amount. This was supposed to be a video to show how much fun he is...

    My PRE learning medium canter

    Unfort im in london and the yard goes straight out on to a main road. Plus ive only had him for 3 months / he is my first stallion and hot blood, so I have hacked out yet at all. He does do some in hand work, NH games in preperation though! My hope is to do some Le Trec with him to balance...
