Is there any chance he could have been stung by a wasp? Wasps are a menace round us at the moment.

This is exactly what I was going to put. All that matters is they get over the jumps within a time limit, there are no points for style or horsemanship, so especially with some riders in the lower levels, it all goes out the window. I also think alot of people overhorse them selves as far as...

How about a loose schooling session over some jumps?

Does the horse actually need a noseband for just riding at home? That would solve the solution pretty much straight away if its only the noseband on the bridle rubbing...

Brilliant I'm at work and have welled up in the office! Amazing!

I don't think I breathed all the way through that test. Brilliant!

It would be a better idea to ban the numptys who misuse and misfit the nosebands....

How lovely. It took me ages to track down a horse I had looked after from birth to 3 years old, but it was such an amazing feeling when I found here and went to see her in her lovely home and all grown up. Hope you have many years of happiness together

I would say get a box at the races, mostp eople enjoy a flutter, you can all get dressed up and enjoy some champagne. depending what course you are at you can book a hotel and then go for a night out around the town (York or somewhere like that)

I can't comment on whether or not the mare is suitable to breed from, but Siren's Missile is a lovely stallion and throws some cracking stock.

That first picture is brilliant, his character shines through exactly as you described him (albeit not actually looking like the devil, he is extremely handsome!)

4 days is nothing, she is getting used to her new environment and probably a different routine. Give her a while longer. Some horses can take months

You need something like this. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Deluxe-Satin-Anti-Rub-Shoulder-Guard-Rub-Bib-Vest-4-SIZES-AVALIBLE-Lycra-/281531096153 What rug is though? I'm guessing a rain sheet or a LW rug? Does she need rugging at this time of year? I would be worried about it not being breathable...
