Yep, thats Lynne Russell!! Thats a good idea, I will have a look at their dates. Just to make it more difficult though I live in Yorkshire and Surrey because of uni! So it could get complicated!

Here is Roger, a 17hh dutch warmblood gelding. Last summer we started showing, and did quite well! We won a load at local level, but our best achievement was coming 7th of about 16 at edinbridge and oxted in ridden coloured. We could have done better but we got lost on the way to the show and so...

I had exactly the same experience as other people on here. The week before camp I got him out to check my saddle as the pony had muscled up a bit. He told me it was an awful fit and not to let it near my horse with a barge pole. 3 months down the line rogers back was in spasm. I got him back up...

Hi ss, your horse will no longer be in pain, but she will have learnt this new movement when she was in pain to get away from it. It's called neurological adaptation, so even though she is no longer in pain, the learnt patterns will remain. The longer you leave her moving incorrectly, the more...

Thanks for all the lovely comments on him!! I bought him 8 years ago when cobs were definitely not fashionable so I'd never really considered it before! He does have a slight dish behind, but goes almost completely when he is really fit! I think I'm def guna give it a go though, he kicks his...

I have my horse with me at uni as it is cheaper to have him on part livery in Yorkshire than DIY in surrey!! It's great coz I don't have any stable duties to do, just go to the yard and ride, I can have everything done in an hour if I'm in a hurry! I have a sharer 2 days a week who basically...

This is my 14.2 irish cob, he is 10 and up til now he has done pony club eventing (up to 3 foot with me, and once I outgrew him, smaller with my sister). At the beginning of the year, he injured himself in the field, and went about 1 or 2 tenths lame. He's had hundreds of investigations and is...

Thankyou that was very helpful!! I think this year I am going to enter all the qualifiers for CHAPS and BPSA but not actually register, just so I can get a feel for it really, and see if we are totally not in their league! Love the idea with the dusters, will definately try that one! With...

ha yes its not the best fitting show jacket in the world, this was a very last minute decision to enter and I'd left my jacket at uni! but yes i do look pretty slumped in that particular photo, it was just so hot!

Oh dear, I didnt even think about the watermark, cant seem to find an edit or delete button tho :S! In the last photo I had stripped him down in a riding class, could never do all that running for an in hand class lol! and I will probably try to borrow a friends double and see what he thinks, if...

Thanks for your comments, really helpful! we are taking a break from jumping at the moment (which is why we are showing) so working hunter wouldnt really work haha! with the girth, he is brown on one side and white on the other, so which ever girth i choose he will still be chopped which is a...

Hi guys, so I want to get into showing this summer but im not all to sure what to do with roger! he is 16.3, 9 year old dutch x tb. he is very flashy and loves showing, works lovely and last sunday he went perfectly for the judge when the judge rode him. ive added a few pictures of him, oh and...
