Well, the 30'c heat is a bit of a hardship when you're galloping racehorses, but other than that, going racing, loving washing rugs, power hosing boxes and weeding the yard with my sun bathing kit on in the afternoons! My first week back after my summer hols has been pretty easy actually...

ha! love all our prima donna's! Funny how many hate creams on their noses! Mine gave me an especially suffering eye roll this morning after the sun cream debacle, though I tried to explain to her that AFTER Sun on a poor little burnt pink nose would be even more of a battle! :)

:rolleyes: My horses PET HATE is when I try and smother her little pink nose with Factor 50 sunscreen! She doesn't react crossly, or badly, but she put her bottom in the corner and holds her head up to the rafters so I'm stood on her bucket lathering it on her! So sweet, she's too kind to...

ps. I don't know how clear the tack part is on the thread I posted, but in Working Hunters, the tack must be plain, and can be whatever your horse goes best in to Jump. For me, currently as it works best, I think I will be using a two ringed Dutch gag on a plain leather black bridle with a...

Hi, This was a recent thread, Hope it helps you like it did me! http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=619921

Normal to me! I get up everyday at 5.30am to pander to my girl, work all day with the racehorses, love ride, and mother them all (I "do" 5 of them), waste disposable income on their mineral licks, new head collars, etc etc, and then get home for 6pm in order to worship my pony, take her out and...

Chuffed with a full size English leather Double Bridle from the NFED website... £25!! I need to replace the rather old reins, but it came with 5.5 bits too!! Perfect! Just soaking it in a bucket of Vegetable oil as it needs a drink! but thrilled as was looking at £100's!! Yaaaay!

Lolo, I agree she shouldn't do it alone and thought I suggested a good instructor, but I think someone else riding the horse (that OP says can jump and does jump well when he wants to) will just prove what she already knows. She needs help from someone on the ground building confidence in her...

Oh wow well done! I think EVERY ONE forgot part of their test this weekend! Shall we all blame the heat?! :)

Which sort of racing did your horse used to compete in? and how long have you owned your horse? The thing is with ex NH racehorses, they are used to jumping at speed, following others. They don't really think about it, and they fit the jump into their gallop stride. If your boy used to NH then...

Oh Wow, your horse is beautiful! and I love the camera, nice crisp pictures! I was keen on Working Hunters till I saw the size of these fences! What height are they built up to here?

ha, I think I'll have to stick to that method! Yes, hoping to get to the one on the 14th :) as long as my Boss doesn't mind/ organise racing on that day! ;)

my muddled tired little brain has worked out what I was trying to say- I scored 70 points and you were on 76 points.. the ones in the circles. so typo and total confusing you we percentages and scores. Well Done me! With that numpty error, I'm off to bed! ;)

Ahhhh hahaha typo!! god, can tell I'm tired! Whoops! ;)

Oh Wow!! You did amazingly! Well Done you! and Can't believe you went H/C!! Though shows how compressed the class was- 25 entries, I was 6th.. and I scored 71!! Imagine if you hadn't forgotten the walk though.. you'd have been well clear! fabby! :D Good job Kitty!
