Has anyone had experience with their horse claming up in a show environment? My boy is starting to work well at home on the flat and over fences but when we go out to events he becomes very backwards. Have had this issue at home which I am getting much better at overcoming now, it's like he...

Will I get away with a dressage saddle for an equitation and a riding horse class? I find it so much nicer to ride in that the GP, will the longer girth straps be incorrect for the show ring? It's a RC Championship show so not county standard!!!

Anyone had any experience with a head shaker? My boy is undergoing trails as a suspected head shaker with vet. How does this affect you? Does anyone compete a head shaker??? Have you found it has worsened with time? And what do you find the most effective treatment is? I know each horse...

So what happens if there is already a Tobias? Is this when you get numerics after a name? Ie: Tobias II?

Hi Am going to take the plunge and join BS. Filling out the forms and I have to put 3 options for the horse name. Does this have to match the passport? Horse is called Tobias on the passport, would his name have to be Tobias? Or would I have to change passort...... Thanks

Hi guys, anyone with a moose headed warmblood like me or a heavy horse know any suppliers of large bits. I need a 7'' pelham. Having no luck on the normal bit websites..... They all seem to stop at a 6''. Thanks

Saddle man came out, watched me ride, got on himself to feel toby's movement as I have scoliosis and am lop sided!! Saddle seemed stiller with saddle man on - maybe sharer sits with weight too far forward? She is a very slim little lady - not very heavy i'm sure!! Had a good prod around. Is...

We tought T to do it pretty much as you are now with the seat and not so much the leg. Try holding the inside rein up above 'neutral' and as soon as you feel some submission give the rein and see if he'll take it. Has soon as the tension comes back raise the hand again. Takes a good while be...

Thanks for the response. I read my other post too. I dont think it's too wide, it's not too low on withers. Had dropped a bit but I thought this may be to do with him loosing condition and the flocking flattening as its been 9 months. The movement is more side to side as his hips rotate up and...

(Posted in Stable Yard as well by mistake!!!!) Hi Guys, just after a bit of help. T's saddle is 9 months old. Have noticed that as he has lost condition over winter it now sits a bit low at the front and have noticed this week slight rubbing to the rear of the saddle. Watching him move...

Hi Guys, just after a bit of help. T's saddle is 9 months old. Have noticed that as he has lost condition over winter it now sits a bit low at the front and have noticed this week slight rubbing to the rear of the saddle. Watching him move there is, what seems to me, to be a lot of movement...

Agree, get the other paces strong and the canter will come as she tones and works the correct muscles. My boy's canter was crap, he'd dis-unite and when we were jumping he'd rush alot as he was finding it hard to keep balances. 6 months later on after a winter of lots of schooling in walk and...

I've had issues with tongue flapping out the side of horses mouth and occasional tognue over the bit. Have come to realise that this is his way of going and not so much of an evasion. When he relaxes the floppy tongue actaully get worse!!!! I tried a Miklam to see if this helped at all and it...

I know a few people who livery up there and a couple of my friends go for jump lessons there with Susie Gibson. I'd defo go have a look if they are selling something.

Yes, for what reason do you want to know? Only ever heard good things....
