I have an ideal suzannah and really like it. What's the impala like?

Hi all I am currently about to sell my falcon hawk saddle mainly because I want a bit of a change more than anything else. Am looking for an event/jump type saddle maybe with a bit more support for leg? I have a warmbloods who is a med wide and and more of a middle weight than airy fairy...

I'm looking at the equi mat and also ArkMat - like the idea of squishiness! Did you fit the Easimat yourself?

Hi all I am looking to get some stable matting for my very messy boy- he is foul so good drainage is key. He will still have shavings as he won't pee otherwise but could do with some more protection and more drainage. Could you suggest which is the best and where to buy from? Also what is...

Thanks Applecart. The vet was positive that we had noticed in time and there was no reason why he wouldn't regress provdied we keep the injections up to date. It was a positive that that there are no indications of any neurological problems :) Fingers crossed!:)

I have just come back from the vets having had my 8yo diagnosed with facet joint arthritis in c6-7 vertebrae. Had triamcinolene injected into both sides and told to work quietly for two weeks and then bring him back into work and carry on as we mean to go on (medium dressage). Will be having...

Hi all Firstly thank you for all of your feedback, experiences and suggestions. Just to update you - Ollie went to the vet today. Firstly he underwent neurological testing and was thankfully totally ok and normal. He was then taken for xrays and they showed that his c6-7 vertebrae showed some...

Thanks again everyone. He is going to bread stone tomorrow for his X-ray so will keep you posted. Am trying not to speculate before fully knowing what we are dealing with but will hope to have an answer tomorrow. Will let you know how we get on

Thank you all for your comments. All really useful to read and take on board to consider. To clarify, Ollie has always been evasive through his neck but it seems to have gradually got worst as we have been working at a higher level. He has always found dressage easy and may have cruised his...

Does anyone have any ideas?

Vertebrae changes in 8y/o - experiences please? I recently posted about my 8yo kown gelding blocking through his neck. My trainer (BD) had him while on holiday and noticed that now we are working at a higher level, he is becoming more evasive through the neck. This has been building up over the...

As above really - I think our team is amazing and I just hope we can inspire and educate the nationabout the skill, strength and pure talent that is required to compete at this level. I encountered this idiot earlier today and it made me so mad...
