    HELP! Should I be feeding a balancer?!

    Stirrup trouble

    I seem to be having a lot of trouble putting weight into my stirrups lately and gripping with my lower legs. I have developed a habit of gripping with my knees (bad i know) but even when i realise i am doing so and stop gripping I'm still struggling to put the weight in my stirrups. Any...

    Advice/ideas please :)

    He has being doing it for a while since he has been hacking and now that he is being schooled. My friends have advised its him being lazy and not picking up his feet. He doesnt have any problems with his front legs its just his back ones. He is slightly pigeon toed on his front though but he has...
