Have a look at the Lemieux boots. Have moved to them after slipping and pinching issues with others behind. Current tendon 5% lesion is same place as your issue. It could be wear and tear, but I have not ruled boots out for the issue. Will be going to Lemieux in front for next season also

Hi, I event a bit and dressage in the winter. Currently have a Uvex for Dressage and jumping. Really love the click adjustment. I have an old HS1 for XC which never loosened a little and squeezes my brain. Sweat has also washed the markings off of it so unlikely to get re-tagged for 2016...

Sorry no idea where Ron is. Guess he was one of the last as Ron Shepherd is no longer with us

Hi, Just enquiring on any experience between 7.5T and small HGV running costs. Just have another new one to event so could really do with a 4 stall. Are parts a similar cost? Does MPG tend to be similar? Moving up from an old 87 ford to something more modern but hgv

Hi, This is so much like my situation. However I have been lucky so can see the wood for the trees. Firstly, yes a pelham may well be a good idea to help train the horse. I did this and after a couple of months was able to move to a hanging cheek snaffle which is dressage legal. And of...

We have a piece of thick marine ply fitted at 45 degrees from just under the windows to the front of the tack locker. Works a treat. And cheap!

Not any easy one to overcome. I've been travelling a 7yo for a couple of years for a pro. Used to be a nightmare. Would befriend any travelling companion and bronc and scream in the lorry when left. In the early days he would call during dressage and show jumping too. He's now much better...

Yes. I have a small compressor to. But it doesn't do over 60 in a trailer tyre even tho it's rated to 250 psi. Guess I need to look at another brand

Have worked everyday. Walking hacks in the powdery snow. Walk trot schooling sessions with lots of lateral and bending. Lunging walk trot when the school is on the turn and if it really is a bit hard then we do ground work in a pressure halter. Goes a bit stir crazy if he's in 24/7...need to...

Very daft. But how do people keep on top of their lorry tyre pressures? I can't seem to find a garage pump to give me the required 90 PSI....most struggle beyond 60. What do you do? Is it a trip to the commercial mechanic every month?

From personal experience...whilst being perhaps a bit too hell bent on succeeding :D. I found the combination of a really good instructor and a Chiro/McTimopthy etc that understands horse riding really works. It is important that the Chiro really understands the lightness that is needed to...

Yes. Can of worms without a doubt :D. But all horses are idividual and so are their owners. Bits and bitless all have their place. I tend to bit for the situation as much as anything else. Does get very fired at shows with occasional silly moments, so normally a waterford gag. At...

I have similar problems with mine.... Is often like sitting on an atomic bomb. Has pulled most tricks on the book from massive rears, galloping out of dressage arenas, refusing to go in. Napping to the trailer park xc........ and it's suffolk punch x so when it sets it's neck, options are...

Hi. I had similar problems with mine. Always strikes wrong on the right rein and pulls out of a left circle when tired. Physio found only 40% mobility in left hip. It's now corrected but muscle is very weak on that side so working to build that up....ideas welcome. So, yes. get a second...

HT at Potton Sunday. 2 foot, 2 foot 6 ish and nearly 3 foot courses. Entry on the day not normally a problem.
