Unfortunately my 4 year old is now on box rest while we wait for the vets to decide the best treatment for a bone cyst. As it is very likely he will be having a lot of time off I am looking for a horse to loan. I have competed at BE100/discovery and would like to find a 'schoolmaster' to loan to...

Just wanted some general opinions about napping/ rearing really! I took my 4 year old to his first show with me yesterday (clear round jumping) he was perfect in the warm up even when the other horses left. He is quite a spooky horses and can be sharp, if he spots something he doesn't like he...

I would definitely recommend basic training of the young horse by Ingrid and Reiner Klimke! Really helpful!

......For schooling or competition livery? Not sure if I can post this! I have posted before about my experiences working on an event yard and wanting to build on from that on my own...am now based at a yard where I have facilities to take schooling liveries...I have insurance....but not...

have vet coming Tuesday :) trotted him up tonight and he is sound! Just wondered if anyone had any experiences of a horse being quite lame one day then perfectly sound the next?

Got my 4 year old in from the field to ride him yesterday. Gave him a little lunge first as he can be fresh - sound. Got on him gave him a walk round and start trotting and he was lame in front - only slightly - came back to walk and he still felt slightly lame. So I got off and trotted him up...

Thank you for all the replies and ideas! Lots to work on and I will definitely get some pics of him schooling soon so everyone can see how beautiful he is ;)

Thanks kerilli! Will definitely start trying all those exercises tonight, lots for him to think about and keep him interested! He's very sweet but can be distracted easily which means we end up trotting around aimlessly attempting To keep his attention! :D

Thank you! What sort of exercises do you use to improve the trot? He usually starts off quite keen and tends to rush around a bit on the forehand, so I do lots of transitions to slow him down and get him under control! Really interesting to hear what others do with their young horses and any...

I think this is what he struggles with, came from a stud with a 30 x 60m arena and we have a 20x 40m arena, so he struggles to balance, his transitions are alot better when he schools in the field!

Hi, I have a 4yr old KWPN. Just started working him on the flat, I have been doing lots of transitions, teaching him leg yield in walk and just generally trying to get him off my leg into consistent contact. He struggles with canter transitions, ie runs into canter! So I was just wandering...

Hi, I have a 4yo Kwpn that I have had for two weeks now. He has been perfect in every way since he arrived. Works really well on the flat in the school where we have no problems at all with napping. I have hacked him out a few times in company and he has been as good as gold including going...
