Hi Please can someone explain how this works and the heights of each round (1st, 2nd, finals). does the jump off still go up by upto 10cm?

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for horsebox hire based in north-east for shows? Tia

So with the warm weather here at last, what are your must have clothing items? Looking for recommendations of equestrian brand leggings and t shirts to keep me cool - shopping online making it difficult to tell exactly what materials things are.

Does anyone know what would help to protect or strengthen old wound areas? My horse has managed to slightly re-open a wound that has been healed for around 10 months. Just hoping for some ideas what might help this from happening again

My friend has been telling me she will need to claim on her insurance for vets fees. She mentioned she didn’t get her horses passport updated into her name when she bought him, she’s had him 4 years now. Will this affect the claim? I’ve looked my policy to see what it says as we have...

Disunited. After the corner he changes back to the correct lead.

On the right rein (never on the left) my horse changes lead in one corner of the arena. It’s always the same corner. We managed to go around one lap today without it happening but next time around it started again. Is there any exercise that would help with this? Could it be something I’m...

Yes I don’t want to turn him out the more I think about it. He can be a bit of a bully so would probably make it worse. Life will be easier once I can actually sit on him.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to make a small paddock. He can be so calm but the littlest thing and he’ll breaks loose. It’s easier through weekdays when there’s no one around to distract him. I will start walking with his bridle as he has always been calmer this way. Thank you for your...

My boy has a hind leg tendon injury. Hes having his in hand walks everyday and along with bandaging at night, it’s looking a lot better with not as much swelling now. The problem is he’s very energetic and spooky. Last week I couldn’t hold onto him and he took off galloping and bucking...

The farrier suggested removing the back shoes. I have heard of these wedges but he said he wouldn’t do that unless it was recommended by the vet. So I will take this up on the vets next visit.

No all 4 are currently on.

My horse has had a tendon injury for a few weeks now. It’s his hind leg. He’s due his feet done but I’m not sure if it’s best to get all 4 shoes back on? As he’s only going for quick walks around the arena. Or could leaving his back shoes off put more pressure on the injury?

Hi guys I’ve been reading on fleece stable bandages and have came across mixed advice on whether to use paddding underneath them. I have read a few times that it’s not needed under fleece? They are to help with swelling (not sure if that matters). I have ‘experienced bandagers’ on the...

Thank you for replying. I'm calling the vet tomorrow. I've had nothing to worry about today it seems ATM to be only after a bit of exercise that any problems show. It's totally possible, something I have thought about.
