My 5yo that i have competed at BE90 level this season (when weather allowed) and regularly competed at novice dressage isn't being the easiest to school at the moment, fighting the contact etc. Got the dentist booked at the start of next month to check teeth are not the issue (last done in may)...

Thanks for your replies everyone, yes DarkHorseB I was in this section so know that my score wasn't too bad overall, shame BE doesn't describe the conditions on the record! Oh well guess its a winter of SJ and dressage for us and see what next year brings!!

I am currently competing my 5yo in 90s and was wondering what the 5yo class entailed. Is it the same as 100 but only for 5 year olds? Thanks :)

Thank you for your advice, what feed would you recommend for him? I feed the linseed micronised, only a 25ml scoop per day. I feed the linseed micron

Right, i'll try and keep this as brief as possible! When I got my TB he was barefoot which he stayed for a while but when I started to do more with him it was decided that he would be shod due to him having typical flat, no heels, tiny tb feet which weren't coping with the increased work load...
