I certainly don’t want to repeat this experience, that’s for sure 🤦‍♀️

thanks All, I was thinking is there a right or wrong thing to do as my arms were pulled out their sockets trying to hold on but I’m glad I did ok and I did get help after this for the rider

hacking with horse and heard a galloping noise to turn around and find another horse galloping down road towards me having dumped the rider. my question is , what should I have done as my horse obviously wanted to run as well as probably thought the other horse was running from danger...

Horse doesnt Lunge too well, tends to be lazy . That’s trouble I think , she can get it once for few strides but second time horse realises he can get out of it

Any tips on teaching a new rider to canter, horse is safe as houses but needs the right cue and you have to mean it as otherwise quite happy to walk 😂, rider does ask but tips forwards and im not sure I’m telling her how to ask correctly

Sorry this bit only came to light this lunchtime

Your right ref spotting lameness, my vet Actually asked me to take a few videos just to see kindly for me , said she was lame however the same day I showed them to my trainer , the owner and another horse person who is exceptionally experienced and everyone said sound !! I suppose that's why...

The exclusions were what concerned me as in last time I insured a horse so much was excluded that it wasn’t worth continuing , Ie hocks needed medicating so any arthritis changes written off everywhere , that’s my dilemma however your right there shouldn’t be anything there that is so awful I...

That’s very true , bi lateral lameness is something I struggle to spot

This is what I’m debating in my mind , it’s difficult as then the insurance writes everything off that fails so then I’m thinking what’s the point of insurance

Thanks ycbm , this is what I’m thinking as I doubt she will pass absolutely everything given age ?

Ah I didn’t know that as it’s been so many years. I am paying 3k

Some advice please. Potential new purchase , 11 years old. Would you get it vetted. I know history and I’m conscious if vetted then it writes off anything they find or am I better off just insuring and dealing with as I go along ?
