I trust the one I learnt to ride on with my life & I'm riding him at the moment (not literally!) My mum rides the naughty one, allthough he's good as gold for her, but she has been riding since she was about my age? Could that be why?

We can be doing roadwork & a motorbike can go past, he won't bat an eyelid, its only when he's schooled, which is something I don't understand :/

I rode him yesterday on a lunge with an instructor, but he still wasn't 100%, my mum doesn't work, so she rides him as much as she can! He's not very good to lunge without a rider, so it'd be learning for me & him! & he's 9

The horse I learnt to ride on is an ardennes draught, he's very steady& safe, love him to pieces, I ride him, my mums experienced & rides the naughty one, I'm considerring starting lessons once chirstmas is done with, just hope they work out, I feel safe around him on the floor, just not once...

I've been riding since about january this year & my mum thought summer was the right time to get me my own horse, after she saw how much I enjoyed it & how quickly I had learnt the ropes. So when the horse arrived I gave him a week and a bit before I started to ride him, & then gradually bought...

Thanks for your help with the bit! & we do think it could be a tooth problem, weve recently got him & we're unaware of how long ago he had his teeth last done, hence why the dentist is out next week! we're just wondering if their could be any other problems, the flash is on because his mouth is...

To start with, does anyone know where i would be able to get an eggbutt snaffle or a snaffle gag 7" in the medway/kent area, or online? i need one for my ardennes horse. & also another horse i have is in a waterford gag, and flash band bridle. When he is ridden, he clenches hes teeth and doesn't...

Okay thankyou! we'll inform the police tomorrow, your helps much appreciated:)

We have before and after photos of how we have tried to block the gate off, would it be worth informing the police of whats going on, because we are concerned of our 16.3hh ardennais horse injuring somebody, because he quite often has a mad 10 mins in the field, where he is charging around...

my horse's field backs onto a block of flats, but the fence is our fence, there is a gate on the fence and people keep coming through it, into out field? We have tried blocking this gate of 3 times with wood and fencing, but it keeps getting kicked in? What are my rights?:confused:
