A question does anyone have any success minimizing bone oedema lumps on the bone from traumatic injury?
I have a mare i have just bought which hit a gate very hard escaping as a youngster and has large lumps on the front of the canons from this
Just wondering whether splintex gold or DMSO...
I would add another set of reins for hacking out and schooling in (so 3 in total), two reins are easy and you just need to get used to them
Having played polo with 3 reins, mallet and whip, 2 are easy!
If you combine the action you will end up using too much leverage
Generally because winter is depressing and I cannot do a young horse consistently when its peeing with rain, blowing gales or snowing
Bad enough keeping the working ones fit!!
May be news to many, but Great Britain have a team competing in Sudan all this week
Today the Former US president Jimmy Carter attended to watch the teams, some extra demonstrations were put on to give the ex-president a flavour of the sport!

Honestly - PTS
This will cost the same as rehoming with the Blue Cross (£300), and depending on how he is passported you could send to Potters
If you pass him along he is just going to be a problem for someone else, it looks like you have given him every opportunity at different places and...
I'd like to see dressage competitions with a breaking line between bit and rein and rein so if you use too much force, it snaps and elimination!
Your horse should be working where it is comfortable, therefore a light contact is going to get you a more willing partner. Too much force and you...
I agree it is awful, and sounds like this man has a horrible temper
However as it was on his own private property I don't think there is anything that can be done?
Do you have the equivalent of the RSPCA over there who can take them to court for cruelty, and then would trainer / others...
Depends are you looking at a particular discipline?
You could also go down the path of an experience day

I'm afraid I am for animal testing if that is what is required to stamp out diseases such as cancer.
Horses are used routinely to produce anti-venom for countries with snake bite issues, as they are good at producing large numbers of antibodies.
If you went to handle any group of barn kept...
I have cheap ebay copies - I quite like them as a bigger footbed than normal which means its harder to loose your stirrup. I wanted them for competing abroad as I decided plastic ones might be dangerous if they snapped, but wanted the low weight.
That said my Flexi plastic royal riders with a...
I think you like wows if you are happy adjusting your own saddles. I love the freedom they offer, and i'm never perched.
Weight wise they are lighter than my stock saddles!
That would set alarm bells ringing unless she knew you!
I would never let a 3 year old trial with unknown quantities, as I don't want a 'broken' or traumatized horse back
However if you bought a 3 year old as a project and it took the piss, you might be pleased to give it on trial to get shot!
