Meadow farm Duffield?

My vet gave me a steroid??( I think that's what it was) gel to apply that reduced the proud flesh massively

Thank you for your thoughts- I got someone to video us the other day so I can self critiqued what I'm doing etc- and he does work into the contact nicely for some steps then ducks away at others- mainly when I half halt to steady the front end and rebalance- I've booked to take him for a lesson...

Hi my horse always struggled at taking the contact down and forward- he's since been diagnosed with mild bone changes in his C6/C7 vertabrae. We are now rehabbing under saddle- he's no longer showing signs of pain and on pain relief to get him going but obviously still ducks behind the contact...

When measuring the seat size where do you measure from? I'm looking for a second hand one and some people measure from the front of the Sue Carson badge and others from the front/back of it- so the same saddle could be a 17 or an 18! Any ideas?

Can highly recommend mark Johnson

Hi all I had one previously and absolutely loved it! I know they can be widened etc by Sue and the air altered to fit but do they all come on the same tree shape pommel to cantle? Reason I ask is I know which model I like so was thinking I could pick one up second hand but didn't want to end...

As above really-my 6year old Wb has had bone scans and X Ray's to confirm the above. No indication of any nerve impingement etc but his back ligamament is strained due to the inflammation in the area. So has 2 weeks of box rest and bute 6 weeks of walking I hand, 6 weeks building his trot back...

Hi sorry to drag up an old thread but had a similar diagnosis along with a couple of vertebrae in the back remodelled and wondered how your horse got on? Many thanks x

To add they are both the standard version (not cob or high wither)

Hi I currently have a k&m gp anatomic saddle that I had fitted by a local fitter- I'm really happy with it and want a dressage saddle also now. Does anyone know if the dressage saddle fits the same as their gp ones? My fitter only fits new ones but found one second hand so wondering if I put...

Some great advice thank you so much :) as we lease the yard and property will we only be able to offset the yard side of it or would the house be part of that- could it be that given the nature of the business we need to live on site?

Hi all I own a new livery yard and need to send my tax returns in- yawn! I've kept good books of income and outgoing and receipts but struggling to work out how much of what we can write off against tax- ie buying new towing vehicle? Machinery? Utility bills (as house and yard are on one...

could you put him in a field next to a road? driveway to yard so he can see cars whilst turned out? i also put things out in my horses paddock that hes been spooking at- he wouldnt go past a flapping bit of haylage wrap once so i nailed it to his fence- by the morning he strolled past it like it...
