Pressure halter! My boy does this too, however when he plants i don't look at him or talk etc i just lean on the rope on the ramp, he soon gives into the pressure. Sometimes its instant other times i have held it there for up to 10 mins, however he normally gives into it after a few moments and...

Thank you - tried a 48cm height and was too short, so i have opted for the 50cm and plan to wear with the 1cm heel riser till they drop. Got an 8 week wait but will be so worth it, cant wait to wear them :D

Its actually 2 stables that open up opposite each other with a shelter in the middle if that makes sense?! so its 36ft long sectioned into 3 12 x 12 parts, the 2 end ones are stables with doors, the middle section has no door or panels its a sort of stable in the middle but open at the front...

After years of longing and waiting i am finally in the process of having stables in our field for the first time ever!! Normally we get so wet during the winter i have to move them elsewhere for winter grazing, my welsh D drops loads of weight so he really needs to be kept in at night times...

Thank you - they are sending me a 48cm height, but after i spoke to them on the phone i walked around in the 51 with the 1cm heel riser and they actually felt okay! going to try the 48 anyway but will probably opt for the 50 with a 1cm riser then take it out once they have bedded in. They are...

I have ordered a pair of petrie boots - i measured as a 51 in height. The company have been fab and have sent me a pair to try on to see if calf and height are correct as i may need a special order. They sent a 51 height and a 1cm heel riser making them a 50 - the 51 really digs in the back of...
