    Calling all you event horse/thoroughbred breeders!

    Ask Hartpury college quickly, may be sold but about a month ago they had a amazing 3 year old Take it to the limit x Concorde for sale, gelding. sounds warmbloodish but actually is about 3/4 TB. If thats sold, then they may have something else. Otherwise Id reccomend you try Cavan/Gorsebridge...

    A little report of the horses I went to see..

    I don't get it, why keep on looking at horses that are so out of your price range? Anyway, no.1 looks the best bet, the other two I wouldnt touch . Some horses are just never the same again after a fall

    Horse Auction Sales For TB In East Anglia Please.......

    Racing name? Picture? Too late for Tattersalls. Your best bet will be the Ascot TB sales at the end of February but you will have to get your entry in quick as the entries close soon.

    Dilema

    I would get a second opinion from another leading vet- like the avon vale in Oxford- they are leading back specialists. DEFINATELY worth a call. Sounds like your vet doesnt really know whats wrong so how can he treat it. 'damage to the sacroliliac' sounds so vague to me.

    Heavy in the left hand

    Yes would try for longer- it takes simply ages and you keep thinking 'this really isnt working' and then all of a sudden they give in and you get the best contact ever. Slashing the food - this makes the muscles tireder ( sorry cannot spell) so its something to bear in mind. Was told on laura...

    Gel in the feet...

    Its good and bad...good in that it gives the foot a nice cushioning, but bad because it makes the frogs sweat, so they become all soft and they shrink , therefore the insides of the foot will become all soft which is what you dont want-- because you want the frogs to become as large and as hard...

    Heavy in the left hand

    What I would try is letting go of the left rein completly, and only holding onto the right. Stay like this for a good 45 mins or so, whatever you do, do not take up a contact on the left or use the hand at all- he is not allowed to take ANY weight on it In that time do lots of circles, changes...

    Dimaggio

    He is one that really does not stamp his stock particularly well- YES he does have some beautifull offspring, but have seen loads of his stock down here in the south am really not impressed Ugly, poor confo, no particular great temperment.. And not particularly nice moving either. Also he seems...

    Crown Cornelian- event sire?

    What are your thoughts on this horse as an event sire? Is he producing the goods? He looks a smashing type of horse and I love the way he is bred- crossed with a TB mare he would make a really nice tough event type I think? My only concern is that there only seems to be a very small handfull...
