I love plaiting !!

Great photos!! Ps. I'm near u too .. 20 mins from coursers farm ! ;)

I hate my fylde saddle.. Owned it since new .. ( 6 years ago) and have ridden in it 10 times ? :p ( a Samantha) I love my ideal though :)

Me!! h He has thorneyside the boss lines Congrats on your purchase :)

Mine is perfect for me .. But he wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea .. I have owned him 7 years ( bought him as a 2y old ) so I know him very well .. He is perfect because.. He pushes me to improve.. Improve my riding.. Improve my knowledge.. He has given me ambitions far higher than I ever...

Oops :| Did u declare on arrival ?

Where abouts are u ? :)

My welshie is dressage fit .. I think he has a deep neck ( and muscles ) rather than cresty ? We gave up showing as he is not 'heavy enough'

I'm to selfish to let others ride my boy :p I want him all to myself... And to be honest he likes it that way too <3 ... Yes of course my trainer has sat on him a few times ... But like I said .. I don't like to share :p :p As for the op .. Just don't offer again .. Simples :)

I love plaiting !! I have plaited for local and national level competitions .. The longer and fuller the mane the better :) Step 1 .. Odd number of plaits down the neck .. So I work out what will suit the horse in question.. I roughly work on 7 down the neck and plus the forelock ( so even...

I have a welshie too ..Weight wise your boy looks fine .. They don't need to look like the heavier show cobs .. He just needs to develop through work . My boy is fed a fair amount .. He has breakfast lunch and dinner (I find smaller more frequent meals work best for him) .. And ab lib...

I had an Epiphany today !! I rode with my reins upside down .. As in instead of the reins going up through the little finger and out the thumb .. They went thumb end first and out the little finger ..( called driving reins) Instructor suggested I try it .. For a few reasons . 1.. I...
