    Has anyone broken in Stravinsky offspring?

    Yep I had one arrive Christmas 2012 rising 4 just backed (2 weeks) mare actually moves really really well and is nice enough. The owner does dressage on her and she is a nervous amateur. Trouble is the dam it was out of- owner bred her out of a grumpy nasty cob mare and has sadly inherited a lot...

    Help! Slamming on the breaks after a jump..

With my trainer we loose jumped him over some combinations ending with big oxers so he could figure out his...

    Opinions on 4yo classes

    I had a bunch of 4yos both this year & last year. The one that did the finals (show jumping) was one that actually had done the least amount of prep. She never jumped green or ballooned anything and although she was sharp thinking ,she was never silly or spooky so going into the main ring and...

    Video posted by HHO...thoughts?

    The guy who is backs my youngsters here in UK does this. Not as XC course per se but logs and small ditches around his farm. He is fantastic. All the young horses I have sent to him come back straight, careful, brave and easy even though they have all sorts of temperaments ranging from laid back...

    What height do young showjumpers compete at

    I jumped my 4yo at age classes champs which started at 1m05 and in the final she had to jump a full up 1m10-1m 15 course. The 5yo started at 1m20 amd finished at 1m30 and the 6yo class had fences at 1m47. Most wouldn't jump that height on a regular basis. Mine had never done above 1m05 and...

    Experience of Tildren?

    Yes & no side effects & horse came 100% sound. (There was no soft tissue injury) every horse will be different I guess! The client who owned this horse had it paid by insurance.

    Wellington BE...why so many wds before the xc?

    Yes they went steady, so did I, (mare wasnt happy about that lol) it was still hard after all but just think it was as good as you would get in the circumstances is what I meant, and if you we're desperate for a final trip it was good enough. Can't believe I'm saying this after last year...
