First of all I got the wrong bone😂, it was the sacroiliac, completely different part of the body. The osteo is having a look to check it’s not muscular. We’re having the vet to look over, but due to the nightmare place they can’t really diagnose it with normal means. Therefore, we just...

Its all sorted now, wish H+H would let you delete your posts

Okay thanks, might keep him in and see if I can get a vet out on Monday then. Thank god he’s insured and they cover it.

And actually our osteo is qualified to treat to a certain extent, with a vets approval. She’s much cheaper than getting a vet out, to say it’s just muscular. I’m not naive enough to take my saddlers word for a diagnosis.

Actually, if she didn’t mention it we wouldn’t have spotted it. It’s only when she noticed it, we noticed it and realised there was a problem with it. We knew there was a problem with him but couldn’t figure out what. After looking at him we can agree there may be a problem. We would’ve got an...

So, I had the saddler out today to check his saddle. When riding, she found he wasn't using his hind right, by holding it in the air rather than reach forward in canter (His hind is usually under my foot in canter) and said she thinks he has an issue with his sesamoid bone, that is possibly...

Thankyou, I've actually had my horse for 4 years, I've had to train him up mostly myself to do what he does now as we couldn't afford an instructor, or at least my mum doesn't want to pay for one because she does dressage up to Advanced Medium with her draught horse, so if it's not dressage she...

Thankyou will have a look

Thank you, I shall try that Thursday and see how it goes.

Would poles help with collection, or shall I try it just on the flat? Possibly, its because he has a very short stride because of his Arab bloodline and whenever he goes into a normal horse stride might be thinking he's too fast. I'll look into it when I'm riding Thursday. Thankyou

People leaving the all the lights on in the yard at night and then the yard owner telling you off because they think it's you, no matter how many times you tell them it's not

I haven't been in the exact same position, but my friend has. She had a 17hh Thoroughbred X, who was loaned out and then came back pure bone, in the end he couldn't walk out of his stable and had to be put down. It's just a shame really that some people do that, especially without realising...

Does anyone know of any brands that sell just a headpiece for a bridle, that is gel/comfort and cut back at the ears? I know Fairfax do ones that cut back, but they are way to expensive for me. Looking for any suggestions, or any ways I can make a headpiece that is cut back more comfortable, my...

Thankyou, I might try and see if I can find someone or in short term find some exercises to try out. Instructors that are good but cheap are hard to come by in my area and we don't have a lot of money for it to be constant. I'll give it a go though for a few months and see if anything changes. I...

Thankyou, I don't have any videos of him pulling as the arena at our yard is just stones and we don't compete much, due to money. I'm not in the pony club anymore, as my branch was just bitchy and cliquey. I might try a hackamore and look at that bit. Thankyou
