Quit kick! Squirts water at them. Expensive but worked within 2 days for one of mine.

Yes - I have, and interestingly, since I posted this, one of the pros I train with has contacted me and said he has a WP coming from abroad shortly and he has promised to assess her and see whether my mare would be suitable. This could be great because he knows my mare very well and I know him...

:) I think my mare and your mare have a lot in common :)

Yes my old boy has PSD in front leg but it was a while ago now (6years) so I am not sure I can remember all the details. Shockwave and rest - think about 3 months? Vets said better prognosis in front leg than hinds. Came back (slowly) to jumping 1m sjing tracks before retiring 2 years later (he...

Thank you - what a lovely story. Fingers crossed I can find another you :)

Good suggestion...it's just finding the right person. As I said above, I have asked a few people to ride her recently and whilst they are all competent amateurs in their own right, she definitely reacts adversely to some riders. One of my friends did brilliantly on her last year but she doesn't...

Thank you very much for all of your replies. Really, really interesting perspectives because she has a lovely jump (jumped in main ring at Hickstead with previous owner) and is always admired when goes out - I have always classed her as an eventer because she has never gone further due to my...

Yes I remember you posting at the same time we were trying to sell a very straightforward Novice/JRN horse and people were queuing up to buy him because he had a solid record AND was easy. I agree it won't be quick - I just want to do right by her...
