I completely agree this is where I need to get to - its getting him back out to the circle without im having a strop that we are struggling. It is worth getting him straight into trot and going forwards? Or do I get a third person to lead him round while I stand in the middle? I think once we...

I am now starting to back my youngster. He is 3.5yo and is well handled and fairly laid back. Over the last 2 months I have slowly started backing him. I have been doing all the groundwork and for the last week I have had an experienced rider help me. He has been (lightly) lunged. Laid...

Completely agree with this.

Thanks guys - completely agree with all of you. YO isnt particularly horsey and just wants an easy life. Groom to the mare(owner abroad) is a nightmare and likes to make life difficult for everyone. I shall perhaps pose the question to her on whether she can prove that said horse did not...

That's what I feel. Don't worry not taken it the wrong way I agree with you.

Ah ok thanks. I had him castrated at a year old with both testicles removed - could he still be a rig? Any idea on costs?

Hi A bit of dilemma. My gelding has been mounting and 'getting it on' with a mare in the field (since seperated them). The owners were concerned about pregnancy so I rang my vets to confirm that the castration carried out in 2009 was 100% sucessful and there was no chance of pregnancy...
