Ditto what was said above. Go onto a circle exactly the same as if you were lungeing and ask from there. He should then realise its no different to trotting on the lunge and relax.

I was told the same as OP! Still get in a tangle sometimes though haha

Thank you Seagull!

I am hoping I can find a way to contact the breeder of my gelding. Her details are in his passport as Susan Philips, Ballinacoola, Wicklow. I would just like to hear about him as a youngster and find out what his mum was like! He was born 27th June 2002 and came over to England around 2006...

Ah right! Yeah mine was off ebay! He's a 6'3 (tho has a 6'0 stable rug that fits nicely!) and their 6'3 seemed a good fit to me! Only been on him briefly tho so not sure if it slips/rubs etc

Haven't received anything... :confused:

I just bought one of their medium-weights but it hasnt been cold enough to try it out yet! Would also love to know what people think of them.

Firstly, college is usually funded by the government not people's parents so I think this statement is totally incorrect. Its more likely that people with horsey experience had mummy and daddy buying them a pony when they were little. I know my coursemates were from a wide variety of...

I have recently graduated from an Equine Studies BSc and think it was in incredibly useful thing to have done. I like to think I understand what "proper" science is after spending 2 years training to be a vet and being taught by true experts in each field of veterinary medicine. The equine...

Update following physio visit!! In the week he's had off since I suspected something was wrong, he has developed several sore areas in his back and pelvis and is also now lame behind! (could be linked with being shod that morning though) Physio was reluctant to do anything now he is actually...

Thanks for the encouragement :) I'm sure we will get through it, just hoping its not anything major that might affect him long term. A schooling fixable thing would be GREAT!! lol

It was my choice. Just got some quotes from several local ones and went from there. It was a different vet to the ones she used for his vaccs etc previously as well.

Yeah its amazing what can be missed, even by qualified physios etc! I guess we're all human. I did email some pics to the vets of his back end and told them what was going on but they have been quite dismissive about it saying his back was checked thoroughly and they didnt see any problems. They...

I think some people think I'm mad for going to these measures when hes not really done anything too bad! But I would rather catch any problems early than wait until hes trying to rodeo me off! lol

Sorry this is quite a long story! I bought my first horse (9yo ISH) about 3 weeks ago following a 5 stage vetting which he passed with flying colours. In his old home he had a history of humping (not really proper bucking) into canter, particularly on the left rein. Other than that he was a...
