My old lad the vets and farriers thought he had a touch of arthritus, as he was only slightly lame as he turned.
A YEAR later, Idiot boy jumped into the yard (I had taken his shoes off for winter) onto slightly rough stone. As it turned out the Abscesses that blew on BOTH front feet were a...
Dont get me started.....
I found it expensive, and I have had two foals not eligible.
First then got second highest dressage colt in KWPN that year, second got Champion foal in its breed society.
Both shows were a lot cheaper, and I learnt more from them as they explained more
They are actually still going quietly, as of a year ago anyway. Anything they could say was not the studs they kept and are still breeding from. Horses were in Edenbridge last I heard
Yes x I have a matrix saddle for my old boy, he is an ID x TB. Had always had saddles fitted to him, but he was changing so much as a youngster that if I went 6 months without having to change I was doing well. There were always things that I wondered about, like he is slightly croup high...
Second here for balance saddles
My Old lad is an ID x TB that I was actually having to change saddles every 6 months on. He then sprained a ligament, and well in rest the change in his back..... Nothing I had had came close. Looked at all sorts of options, tried a balance fitting, and well...
If her sire has the creme gene, ie smokey black, yes she could be buckskin. Chestnut on the ends of manes and tails, very common on youngstock, my 2yo has only just ourgrown that.....and thats only cause i trimmed his mane!!!

Any breed that has bay and allows dilutes may be buckskin,
cremello and perlino are the most common double dilutes, although there are also champagne, silver and...
I will say the old adage, better a month too early than a day too late.
He may be a little better, and you might be going what if
But how would you feel if you postponed and he had another major attack and was in agony, and everything was done in a rush? His last memories were pain and...
I am 99% certain that any bone healing would leave a lump, so that you have a good reason to be unhappy.
I would get your vet to write a report that the bone lump would be considered perfectly normal after the previous injury, and any fracture healing, and that the present claim is highly...
Some of you may remember not so long ago my "liveries" who were asked to leave after making my life a misery, who tried to get me thrown off my land, who tried to desert their pony that was in bad condition on me
Well today I found this...
I was brought up traditional, had a few accidents, and lessons from an olympic rider....who was make the horse do it type. I lost a lot of my feel.
A friend went into natural. I read some of her bits, use some of the stuff, and found my missing feel again.
I have had a super classical trainer...
got the same trouble with my lad! Fortunatly he has never jumped off what he considers his ground....he just leans on the fences
If I could, I would see if you could run a line of electric about 6ft on the inside of the fences, its about the only thing thats ever stopped my lad....
too close to...
