Me too - I have fallen off three times in my limited riding career - first time six years ago, a bucking broncing young cob resulted in ambulance, suspected broken pelvis and crutches for 6 weeks with torn pelvic ligaments. Second time, two months ago- my first ever horse whom I'd had for 4...

I second the Casco - I have one and it is so light, you hardly know you are wearing it, and so airy!

If this was my daughter, I would be approaching the owner to ensure she was not making a nuisance of herself, not sitting back and allowing her to do this! I would not be allowing her to do this without checking it was ok. I can understand the girl, and had a similar experience at an old yard...

I lunge in the Pessoa every second day.....long and low, to try and build his back and topline, after his diagnosis of KS in jan - I also love to see his movement and knowing that I am helping him getting fitter.....next step is to get him lunging over poles to help him lift back feet and engage...

Mine picks his feet up in turn without being asked......puts his nose in the headcollar, lowers his head for taking bridle off (not so much on lol), moves without being asked while I muck out round him, and removes all hats from my head - he seems to hate them...:-)

Anyone had one of these or know anything about them? http://www.amazon.co.uk/CASCO-riding-helmet-SPIRIT-crystal/dp/B005R3PP8C/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1393785737&sr=8-11&keywords=Casco+riding+helmets

Grrrr I have an almost brand new Cragghopper 'waterproof' lightweight jacket and it leaks!!!!! I will need to look at buying another for wearing to muck out, ride etc - needs to be lightweight as I find I get really hot if it is too thick......suggestions or recommendations welcomed please!

I am 5'8" and have a 32 inch inside leg, and ride long.....I got the 30" inch and they do fine for he although my daughter (13) has zero chance of using them without a twist lol....they are fab though - inside thigh bruises no more!

Lol...read this thread out to OH and he has checked the filter...and now is looking it up on the internet lol lol

That made me giggle - sorry :-)

My best present was a Ifor 511 trailer plus tack box.......my hubby rocks! Lol

Horsey - To canter 20m circle properly To get an outline whilst riding To buy a trailer To enter in a few show hunter classes To perhaps try a wee jump for first time ever Non-Horsey - cut down alcohol, more housework, and lose weight lol

I left my boy standing in the school whilst I picked up several scatterd poos.......he followed me for ten minutes like a dog, right at my back, turning on a sixpence to make sure he was right behind me the whole time :-)

I am so pleased with my big boy because....... He is no longer scared of cows after 8 weeks of us owning him but can walk or ride right past them in the farm without a problem I have hacked him out a few times, once on my own and brought him home to our house, and he was perfect every time He...
