I got some, they're brilliant! Really done the trick 😊

Will do. Although I think tomorrow's lesson is likely to be cancelled due to the wind. But I'll reply next time I go out for sure.

Ah yes mine has Pssm1 too

Thanks everyone. Mine is booked in for this month (he will be 12 months old). I was contemplating leaving him until he was 18 months, as he's nice and easy to handle and we only have geldings here. But it would be simply to fill him out a bit more. However I've since read that any stallion...

Thanks everyone, I've just bought a pair. But will try them both ways suggested. Got a couple of clincs this week to try them out both ways.

Thank you everyone! I'll call the trailer place and order some today. It does sound like it would be worth the money. No he's a gelding LEC, but sounds like a lot like to stand diagonal. Would love to buy a herringbone or rear facing trailer or box one day, as that seems to be the preferred way...

Oh interesting. I will mention it to my vet when he comes next month.

If you're planning on castrating....What age have you/will you castrate and why?

Has anyone found that taking the centre partition out and adding full length breaching bars in an Ifor Williams has helped to stop their horse stumbling round corners? Also I have a HB510 Hunter. Is this a different width to the regular HB510? I can't find anything online about them and don't...

He's in with my other youngish horse who is a good firm, but fair disciplinarian for him. Would have just been nice for him to have a playmate too, as colt and pony do get on well. He just gets a bit too much so I took the pony out today and put him in the next door paddock. Although they just...

Has anyone had any experience as to whether or not gelding a colt calms down the play fighting behaviour a little? I don't expect it to stop him playing completely, as he's a baby at the end of the day. But I'm hoping it'll make him less rough and relentless with my 9yr old lead rein gelding.

Ooh heck. Mine has 15.3/16h parents too. He's not his mum's first foal though, but he is his dad's first. Hoping he doesn't get too big, as his grandparents are around 16.3/17h

How's he doing now it's been a few days?

How do you know if they've dropped yet? I can't see anything on mine and think he'd strongly object if I tried to cop a feel 🙈 Don't want to call vet out and sedate to then find nothing, or only one is there!

Yes mine is supposed to make 15.3/16h, but he's already 14.2ish at 9 months old. His grandparents are more near the 16.3/17h mark though 🙈
