:lol: What does being a 'hater' even involve?!

^^ This, fully agree. The moment I stopped 'fighting' everything my D did was the moment it all started coming together

What really gets my goat is the sheer amount of incorrect grammar / spelling. It really winds me up. I have to slap my fingers to stop myself from correcting everything.

As I usually do once a week or so, I have a bit of a nose at horses for sale. I have seen a video this morning for a lovely looking 16.1 grey gelding, potential to move beautifully and a lovely jump. However. The idiot riding him is strapping his head so far into his chest the poor...

This is so lovely!!!

Following this - My gelding is the same, quite happy to turn on one side but not the other - although I believe that it's down to him not being very supple as opposed to aids. But it can't hurt to hear some other opinions!

Agreed with the points above. My boy had a habit of leaning (and I had a habit of leaning back!) I have recently started having lessons with a classical instructor and it has helped no end - I don't lean and neither does he! As an FYI, my boy is in a neue schule tranz angled lozenge hanging...

As the title says really! Does anyone have a few tips on how to start on groundwork? I think my boy would really benefit from it, and I would like to learn to teach lateral work from the ground before cracking on whilst riding. (He has a small amount of lateral work established under saddle...

I second this and the above! Also then shattering that calm with thundering hooves when going for a blast alone!

How long have you had your new horse? I've had my boy for just gone a year, and it's only really just starting to click! I do feel for you though, it must be hard comparing new to old. Luckily my old mare was a complete bag (god love her) so I'm not really having the same problems. I do...

Thank you for all of your lovely comments - I took wonderboy out showjumping last night and we had a blast. I also had a couple of schooling tips from a friend which got him to stop hanging on my right hand so much which I felt was a small victory. Generally feeling much more upbeat about my...
