This sounds exactly like me OP! I got my ex 1* eventer last April as a RC allrounder to replace my cob x - result has also been lots of falls including being hospitalised and a huge loss of confidence! Unlike yourself R was my only ride, so we have taken it right back to the very basics; lots of...

So sorry to hear this heartbreaking news, RIP lovely xxx

It was, yes - I've done a course of equipilates with her before, and really enjoyed that too :) xx

Good luck! And please let us know how you get on - I saw this and was very tempted to book so feedback would be really useful! xx

Thanks everyone - that's given me loads of ideas to try between my lessons! ester - haven't had her on the lunge as I'm not confident to do it myself, but I'm going to speak to my instructor and ask him to try her. Sally - that's such an inspiring post and its really given me the motivation...

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone - forgot to say I have only just had her on loan and she was fully checked before I got her just before Christmas but will get her checked again just in case. She's in a normal snaffle bit at the moment 'spring arising' and I normally have my reins quite...

Thanks wench, it is in lessons that she's doing it. My instructor said he was going to have a think before our next lesson (which we have weekly) as he wasn't sure I needed a stronger bit, but I thought someone on here might also have some ideas, thanks x

Hi, I'm after a little bit of help! I have a 19 years young dales x who when cantering in the school pulls her head forward and down. I don't think its to speed up as when I loosen the reins she doesn't get any faster, but obviously it means I lose some control if I loosen the reins, plus it...

I'm keeping my eye on this one - I bought a couple of pairs from Aldi at their last special buy offer which have been fab for everyday down the stable - but the zip broke on one this morning! :( xx

^^^ This!! Stubborn mare! Lol!x

A truly lovely person GG - I wish you would stop testing my waterproof mascara though - these heart-warming stories set me off every time!xx

^^^ love love LOVE this! Well done!

A big YAY to all your OHs, what would we do without them all, eh!xx

Just wanted to give a shout out to all OHs out there to show how appreciated they are! Mine has been fab this weekend! I only started riding 2 years ago at the age of 31, and took on my first loan horse yesterday! My OH has been fantastic - helping me set up everything, running about for hay...

^^ This is sooo true! Lol! Always feel like I'm riding so well - I've told OH to not video me know - I'd rather be happy in my ignorance! Lol!
