    WOW-Saddle fitting

    I'd second to get a fitter if possible....or buy the new saddle fitting gauge they have :) http://www.wowsaddles.com/products/saddle-gauge/ But even if you get all the correct parts, you'd probably still need a fitter to adjust the flair. You horse has a similar profile to my wb x tb. She has...

    Do You Feed Your Horses Treats?

    Yes I buy the 20kg bags of Bailey's fibre nuggets or 15kg bags of TB meadow cobs, I didn't know about these big equerry bags, how much are they? I use lots for clicker training, which means I initially start by teaching the rules around treats i.e. a treat only ever comes after the marker...

    Getting horse over a massive fright.

    Following on from this, work them (lunge/in-hand to start) in the area they are happy with, then let them rest/have treats in the spooky bit, or as close to the spooky bit as they'll go.

    Head torch

    A couple from Decathlon are really good. This one is very bright; https://www.decathlon.co.uk/onnight-710-headlamp-id_8370255.html#anchor_ProductReviews And I have been very pleased with this one, slightly cheaper; https://www.decathlon.co.uk/onnight-410-v2-headlamp-id_8364850.html Both are...

    Saddle to Australia, via UK friend, risks?

    I've sent Wow saddle parts to the USA and Australia/NZ, the risk is no different to sending within the UK or Europe. In this case, from the sellers point of view she is only sending the saddle to an address within the UK anyway. If the money is sent by bank transfer or paypal family and...

    Central Scotland Barefoot Professional Recommendations

    Steve Leigh from Nature's Way. He is involved with the Rockley Farm rehab (he made that lovely slo-mo barefoot video you may have seen), so deals with re-habbing many navicular cases. A really nice guy, really knows his stuff and explains things brilliantly (I have a pony with navicular, but he...

    Eskadron control headcollar

    Have to agree with this, and possibly a place for positive reinforcement training/clicker training here, especially if you have a food motivated cob :) I find negative reinforcement generally works really well for many things, until it comes to training a behaviour that the horse finds...

    What do people use other than travel boots ?

    Nothing or turnout boots on the front for a sticky loader on a lorry with pointy ramp edges!

    Clicker Training - yes/no?

    Yes I use it all the time to reinforce any desirable behaviour on the ground or ridden. It’s great to have a signal ‘the click’ to mark exactly when the horse has done the right thing/something you like, etc. An immediate way to communicate to them ‘yes’, which can...

    Beginner Rider with some Questions

    Where in the country are you? I think a better investment would be having private lessons or lunge lessons to work on your own strength and position in all the gaits, but just less often. Horses shouldn't be kick kick kicked or kicked harder, but unfortunately this seems totally acceptable in a...

    Feeding for horse with ends of hooves cracked

    Do you have a photo? Is he barefoot? Hoof edges normally chip and break off when hooves get a little long. If so a few sessions of roadwork should sort them out.
