Loose jumping if cone corrctly with a jumping alley and built up over time will build up the horses confidence and teach him that he can do it for himself - without the need for a rider and in some cases without the hinderance of a rider. Because they then know that they can cope with whatever...

Dont worry - I think it is just a sign that he is finally settled in his surroundings - some horses take a long time to realise that they are safe. My mare did not lie down for months and then I recieved this text...

Red Cell has worked on a couple of horses that I know of.

See how it is later Dont be too tough on yourself - id blame the dark nights and mornings myself, if we had sunshine you would have been able to see!

I have been a couple of times with the youngsters and people goingt to thier first few shows. There courses are usually very kind and forgiving. They have anoutside warm up area that is not the best lit but is adequate and an indoor school for the comp itself. They can sometimes be a bit quick...

Thats what I thought, cant wait to go and see him!!!

An ID called Cool Diamond Star - if you google him a horse deals site will come up. He hasnt got much form but after speaking to the stud he was placed in the wrong stud who didn't get him out and about or covering correctly and he got confused hence why it is A.I only. Not really botherd about...

I am considering putting my mare in foal. I have only ever dealt with sending them to stud. The stallion I am interested only does A.I. Can anyone fill me in on the process required and the additional costs invloved over and above the stud fee. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Congratualtions - i have a 4yr ex race mare who is going like a super star we jumped under saddle the other day for the first time. which was great seen as though she stopped at a pole on the ground when we first loose schooled her!! Given time there is no reason why you and your horse cant...

Do you lunge? Lunging will give the horse the opportunity to come through without the rider being in the way and blocking the movement through the back. It will also give you the opportunity to see what he is doing rather than just feeling it. I have found the pessoa to work wonders at...

What sort of yard are you looking for? the yard that i am at offers diy, assisted and full livery. We have woodland hacking although there is only four or five different rides, grass gallops, post and rail fencing with automatic water, straw and hay is inculded in the price, two schools one...

I have had to do it many a time - it amazes me how few people can though. My worst experience was when hacking out a freak thunder and lightning storm started causing my mare to spook and step on her shoe and twist it. Pulled into the Lorry distribution centre that I happend to be by and...

Its a shame that the media cant get her main disciplin corrrect all i have heard on the radio both local and Radio 1 is that she is a show jumper!!! Not that i have anything against show jumping but eventing gets such bad press due to the deaths that happen it would have been nice to hear...

lesandsparks. We all meed a bit of adrenaline to keep us perky, the nupafeed doesn't eliminate adrenaline just helps the horse to rebalance levels quicker. Mo used to get herself soo wound up it was like a three year old child having a tantrum and not being able to tell you why. the magnesium...

Have you tried a supplement like nupafeed liquid calmer? When horses are tense/stressed/excited they burn magnesium which then causes and imbalance that produces adrenaline.....the horse then struggles to lower the level of adrenaline which causes them to remain stressed for longer. My mare...
