    Stable rest vs small pen in field

    Thanks for replying goldenstar, sorry I should have said when doing the walking work we have been doing it in the indoor school. Haven’t attempted hacking along a track as if he got away he could run for a good bit. He is better hacking in company. We also have an outdoor school but I can’t...

    Comb edge spurs

    Thanks Britestar, i will check if they are BD legal. TarrSteps. I will only be using them for dressage and schooling. I had looked at Spursuaders but was put off by the size of them. However, I might consider giving them a go. Thanks for your advice. :)

    Comb edge spurs

    Just interested to see what everyone thinks of comb edge spurs? I have temperamental TB who on occasion chooses to ignore my leg.
