    Draw Reins For Hacking.

    I did think of one, but only for a second, coz my boy does take the contact reasonable well when he is concentrating on me, so was thinking the DRs would be the way forward as the spooks and spins are, I think, due to lack of concern traction on me!

    Draw Reins For Hacking.

    I agree with the refusing to go forward. Mine used to so I just made him reverse the way I wanted to then he would forget what was there and we could turn round back the right way! It's the sudden unexpected spin that gets me!

    Draw Reins For Hacking.

    My boy has a nasty habit while out hacking of spooking and dropping his shoulder then pissing off. He had me off plenty of times when I first got him and always on the road! Well we have had a couple of calm years with me not dissmounting unintentionally! Until a couple of weeks ago! I am not a...

    Science Supplements Flexibility worth the money?

    My boy has bilateral bone spavins in hocks and he is on Cartrophen every 3 months. But I have decided to add Feedmark Performance - Precision & Focus because other than stuff I use at the moment in it, it incorporates a joint suppliment. They are also doing 20kg for the price of 10 at the moment.

    Horses with hind gut issues - whats your routine?

    Sorry I do not wish to offend, but how does one diagnose "hind gut" discomfort? I had my boy scoped in April as I had a feeling that he had ulcers! And the cost of the scoping was the same price as one of the supplements I was comtemplating! So I thought better find out for sure rather,than...

    The ups and downs of confidence issues!

    Hi oldie48, I completely know where your coming from. I am pushing 50 and have a quirky 14 years young 16'2 WB, he looks "the part" but he can be very insecure and spooky (took me a good month to work this,out!). and even schooling him is a challenge. He likes to spook to evade work, but when...
