    I have tried agility and did enjoy it yes, but then a dog moved into the group whom Wilbur did not get on well with at all, and in the end it was too stressful to be enjoyable :( I really like clicker training, so that clicker book might be a goer, thank you.

    Big youngster - painful growing?

    I have a 3yo KWPN, he will be 4 in april. He is a big chap, only measuring in at 16.2 but he's chunky. He's not in full work yet because of my following concerns, but I have sat on him and done some trotting. I want him to take his time maturing wise before upping the riding. I've noticed...
