Yes its a bit of a pain! He has the irish in him which doesnt make him look so 'foreign' but i think the legs not being symmetricail would catcg the eye, for the wrong reasons! Il see how he goes and how the judges value him. xxxxxx

ok thanks. Its very frustrating as he has a lot of potential to do dressage, showjumping etc. So i didnt want to put him through all the work/trainin to see him suffer. However i think il gve it a try! x

Yup, some people have said they like hunters as plain as possible, others say they dont mind x

Hi, I have a 5yo warmblood x irish bay gelding by carnival drum. He stands at about 16.3 at the moment, pushing 17 hands and is still growing! He has good conformation and with correct feeding and schooling etc im told hed make a very good show horse. Although i do enjoy a bit of showing ive...

Im afraid i have to change my bit quite alot. She schools in a snaffle, and hacks in a pelham or gag, and she jumps in various bits to keep her thinking. Maybe try changing nosebands first? If your have a bit of trouble stopping perhaps a grackle? Although to stop them twisting there jaw my...

Glad to hear there not dreadful boots! Im having to send mine back due to not being able to wear them as feet getting soaked from the two great big holes! : (

Sheepskin ones are very good but even the best go bit manky eventually so before you put them in the wash we smother the sheepskin in conditioner and rub it right down to the roots, and brush them out with a soft brush when there dry. x

I find Rambos are very good, we just thread a seperate belly flap on but i have to agree with the premier equine combos. We bought the 450g ones for the hunters and there very deep and go right up to the ears, and very good value for money. x

A horse on livery has a very scurfy greast mane ans coat. We washed her with a shampoo called Polytar and after the first wash there was an amazing improvement. After the second it wasnt noticeable and after the third jsut to make sure its never come back again. And her mane was the worst case...

I work on a hunting yard and the whip of our local hunt has his horse on livery with us. He recently bought a big chesnut mare that hes four white stockings and gets mud fever very badly. Her previous owner use to smother them in sudocream or udder cream but when we got her this was too much. We...
