    Yet another delightful rider..... not..... when will this end?

    I am not sure the person who owns EA and Point 2 is the highest bastion of integrity. Some of their adverts and comments over the years have been pretty preposterous.

    Yet another delightful rider..... not..... when will this end?

    Can I just clarify on this point - firstly Charlotte did not contest any decision with the FEI so accepted the guilt and hence why there was no tribunal or case to be answered so FEI went with the 1 year ban. Plus there was not other evidence of sustained abuse over a period of time with more...

    London International horse show

    Puissance is niche now. Tbh it takes a horse who isn't really compatible with modern sjing hence you only see Puissance very rarely now (uk/Eire) and full of mediocre horses. They will often just do 6 bars as well. I personally think it's done as a class. I hate watching it. It's super...

    London International horse show

    This just isn't true. Firstly, they actually jumped bigger. The fences were also more solid and fell less easily. The courses were not as technical though. The puissance had no rules for amount of time horses would jump. Secondly, there has always been a fair amount of tack on some horses...

    Keep an eye on Dever website they normally do some strong Christmas offers with discount. https://www.deversaddlery.com/ I really like Butet bridles or amerigo.

    Which conditioning cube?

    If everything else works I would just add maybe a chaff with added supermarket oil of some variety. I usually get mine the cool and condition from Dengie as has some pellets in it and they all scoff it up. It's DE12 so a good start and then add oil if required. Will cost you a lot less.

    Severe Separation Anxiety

    I would look at Warwick Schiller because he has some really good work on this. These are very old now and he has a lot more up to date stuff about helping horses to learn to relax and also keep their attention on you if stressed about the their mates. Horses are herd animals and they have...

    Yet another delightful rider..... not..... when will this end?

    I think you meant Richard Vogel but his reins were never tight on the grey horse and he had it on a forward loose rein with the nose out. I thought his jump off was pretty spectacular on an inexperienced horse. Barely touched its mouth and just guided it with an open hand.

    New to (potential) ulcers - stop hard feed until scoped?

    The chaff should help ulcers as provides a stalky buffer. I doubt it's the hard food if been on it for years as one thing which is consistent. Very likely to be something else going on. I would be more inclined to look at what eating rest of time - grass/fibre as more likely to be an issue.

    Advice on swapping feed brands

    I feed Mole Valley own brand over winter as it's made in Mars mills so same as spillers pretty much. I stop feeding it in Feb as I need stricter NOPS as compete FEI. One of my main issues with unbranded is the nutrition info is poor so if feeding something like ease and excel then you can't...

    What would you think of a yard that doesn't ask new arrivals for a strangles test and doesn't quarantine?

    Everything is quarantined. The only one who isn't is my 3yo who lives with a friend who is just as anal about bio security as I am as she moves between yards.
