My mare - Jasmine, when I went to see her, got to the yard and the man let her out of her paddock, Jazz ran around, head in the air and wouldn't let anyone near her. When I got her home, she wouldn't be caught, turned her out with a Headcollar for a while until she grew to trust me. With...

Wow, didn't know that but it's not something you really question, is it? I've never had a horse react badly to it or anything...It's fascinating though!

I just bought the Stubben Romanus Dressage saddle and I'd say it does help. As a previous poster said, it helps 'guide' you into the classical position. The Romanus fits me well, as well as the horse, but previously I was using a Wintec 500 dressage (which I sold today, yay!) and it just...

Thanks to everybody who has replied so far :) I, myself have never had a problem with German leather, so I wouldn't shy away from it because of that. It seem that everyone draws something diffderent from these bridles, the negatives, I've heard the same things come up everywhere and the...

I know I don't post here too often but any help is appreciated. I've been on eBay...Looking at dressage bridles, and I found the FSS comfort dressage bridle. I've taken a fancy to a burgundy one with a gold trim! Now I hadn't heard of FSS before and I did some readin around the net and...

Oh nice! Would you mind me asking who the photographer is? May come in a handy for us at some point since the person has done the curragh. Just to add something, it's not perfect as they want young buy the pics but did you try healyracing? I think it's healyracing.ie They have...

Looking I do think it's great seeing them race! Shame you can't download the videos though! I had an ex racer, Scout. He was always so quiet and a pleasure to work with and I checked him out on attheraces. He raced in blinkers, looked strong... Opposite of the horse I had at home in the stable!

I read on another forum of people using turmeric as a joint supplement. As well as joints, it supposedly can help fight cancers, as it's said to do in humans. I thought that was an interesting one, I haven't tried it but would look into it! Apparently Tesco have bags of the powder? I've only...

Well done! Glad it went well for you :)

Ignore that. I read it somewhere yesterday and again on a racing forum today but during my look for the link I realised it hasn't been confirmed and is just a roumer that was rife since the incident. No official reports, yet, hqve been made concerning burn marks to horses from the trainers, or...

I'm sure most, if not, all of us are aware of the tragic event that took place yesterday at Newbury race course. We saw the sad death of 2 race horses, Fenix Two and Marching Song. Not yet are we at all, 100% sure about the suspicious circumstances involving the deaths, though electrocution...

I've use one before on a cob who never liked to keep breaks easy in other bits. We tried a load of them on him and the pee wee bit was one of them. He never bolted or anything of the sort but just walked through most bits. The pee wee was a waste in this scenario I'm afraid. No breaks...

I have one and find it be comfy. It's he most comfy saddle I've sat in so far. I can't fault mine. I read a lot of stories about everyone bashing them, it did put doubts into my head but I have to say it did surprise me. The gullets are good. I recently sold one of my horses who the saddle fit...

We had that a lot. Random people phoning up and ask a few questions and then they arrange to come out and view the place, get directions and everything then never show up. Won't answer their phone or anything. I wouldn't mind if we hadn't put our lives on hold for some toss pot to never even...

Strange, think I'll stick to the old method and ignore that one :p
