He always seemed to struggle in a bit, he would always put his tonge over it, even if it started under. moved to bit-less about 6 months ago and he seems so much happier in it :-)

Thank you all. He is my baby boy, know him since he was not quite 1, only recently started to let others ride him. He hates hitting poles which is why I did such small jumps. He can do 1 meter at home but they won't jump up and bite him! He is very honest as well you can feel when he is...

So I finally managed to get the pictures of my boys first show jumping attempt. Only a clear round which he did and first time as well. He's 7 but I have taken my time with him as he is a bit of a scardy cat! Was very proud if him as he had never seen fillers of proper wings before :-)...

I tow with a SWB shogun, will tow 3t and is much shorter than most towing 4x4's but only has 2 doors. Selectable drive so when not towing is in 2 wheel drive and gets reasonable mpg (around 30 day to day driving) and if you can get one newer after 2010 then it's only tax band k so £290 a year at...

So I am moving yards on Friday and have been trying to get my boy (he's 6) over some of the x country jumps at the current yard before I leave. We have now managed 11 if them now and today I got some pics. This is the best one. First time over this one and he jumped it first time! But it was big...

I have use these https://www.shiresequestrian.co.uk/shop/product.php?productid=967&cat=719&page=1 since my friends horse went down on her knees on the road without boots. She was ok after a few weeks rest but it looked so bad when she did it. My boy has gone down in the boots a few times and...

I must admit that the jumps he has done are the smallest on the course. I only do 2 each time we are out as I am building him up slowly as he gets very excited and the last thing I want to do is knock his confidence. He has had a lot of change in the last 6 months. He spent 5 year of his...

So this week is going well (famous last words). Found out on Tuesday that I am moving yards to one with much better hacking in a months time, then last night my loony boy (he's 6) jumped 2 more of the XC jumps at my current yard (he's done 4 others so far) and this time he did not run out or...

According to my endomondo app 24.8. And I have never completely let him have his head as I do to trust him not to have a hissy fit!

I have had one very bad experience with an ambulance while riding and one very good one. The bad one, dispute getting out the way ( onto the verge/entrance to drive about 4 meters from the road) of both the ambulance and the cars so they could also move out the way. The ambulance decides to...

My welsh x Appaloosa varnished out quite nicely Age 2 ish ( he has spots on his bum but you can't see them) Age 5

Mine healed fine :) Will depend on the type of break. I completely chipped the corner off the joint in both cases!

My boy has fractured both my ring fingers, at different times (pulled lung line out of my hand for the first one and reared and caught my hand on the way down for the other). Hospital gave me little plastic casts for them each time so they did not have to be strapped to any other finger. Was...

That's a new one one me, thank you :) we know he is out of a welsh mare and can only assume an appy shire!

My boy was 4 1/2 in the second photos so he was already very faded. He's now 6 and is still the same. It was only recently when I found some old pictures of him that I realised how much he had faded out. He also now has the most scruffy, short mane and tail, it was long and thick when he was...
