Hi! I was wondering if anyone has any tips for how to keep my lower leg in a better position when jumping? As shown in the pic my lower leg really swings back every time I jump! This is riding my loan horse Jackson. He likes to over jump...

A lady I know has asked me to get her 13.3hh fell pony back into work after being diagnosed with arthritic pasterns in both forelimbs. I just want to know what to do with her, how often and how long for please? Vet said NO schooling or jumping just hacking. But didn't give an exercise plan. Any...

Today, I had someone at his head making sure he didn't bite me, and when I picked up his hoof she gave him a treat and let go of his head, and when she had let go he didn't try biting.
