I'm glad it wasn't just me who thought it was insensitive scare mongering in order to boost product sales.
It's a shame because in essence it COULD be a worthy avenue of research if done properly and appropriately. After all, we ALL want to find ways to make our sport safer. But to do it in...

going back a long long time ago (about 18 years!) my 17yo jumping pony damaged her suspensory branch when travelling. At the time shockwave wasn't offered (not sure it was even around then?!) but we did a combination of hosing and box rest then paddock rest for the rest of the summer. Brought...
I've ordered some horse first relax me going on good reviews I have read online.
My mare is a dream in summer living out, comes in overnight October time and it gets to this point in the year (January) she becomes incredibly nervy and sensitive (mostly ridden work) - spooky and very very...
I use some high waist mark todd competition breeches in beige which work really well.
Made the mistake of doing a very wet muddy Frickley in my Ivory schumachers which I normally use for dressage and regretted it as had to do about 3 washes with a lot of vanish and the suede bit still isn't...
Mine are getting haylage at night and literally a tiny handful of honeychop calm n shine with half rations of Benevit advance. Both look well and shiny and have lost a little bit of podge but I'm a big believer in that that's what they are naturally meant to do in winter! No point going onto...
Thanks for the tips of trying others.
I've been out today and bought a Rambo Grand Prix waterproof fleece one today which fits beautifully around the saddle :) it's not the thickest but is fleece lined so will mean it will be good for the warmer wetter weather in spring too :) very pleased...
The wrap around ones are fine if I pop it on under my stirrup leathers but would need one with a large enough saddle cut out so it doesn't come under the panels at the back like my current one is doing. I see a lot of people riding with them coming under the panels at the back but surely this...
Does anyone have any suggestions of ones that work well?
I can't use a standard exercise sheet as can't fold the corners up and I don't like just using them flat with the girth loops.
I've tried my wrap around one just under the stirrup leathers (it's a rambo one) but the saddle hole...
Sounds like you are doing exactly ALL the right things - letting the guy have FUN. They have to enjoy and 'want' to do it, its not something that can ever be trained. Well done, and what a lucky boy to have found you.
I still havent decided!! I hate making longer term plans with horses as so much can change so Im going to see where we are fitness wise and what the early year weather is doing before making any decisions, I love eventing but not enough to be towed on and off fields and in sideways sleet ;) That...
I have a VERY wet mare and have struggled getting deep litter bases established as she has big feet and tends to mash her bed up :( - if anyone has any tips techniques for these sorts then Im all ears! It works well for my older boy though, I do as Hash Rouge says and scrape off a top layer of...
