I have a 2 year old filly that I bred myself. She has always been a lovely nice natured horse who loves cuddles and attention. Recently she has started being really grumpy and has tried to nip me a few times and pulls faces in the stable. She is still fine to handle just a bit grumpy. Any ideas...

My foal is the same and has been since she was born. Probably due to the fact I was the first human she saw when she was born as I was there at birth. But I agree its so nice to be bonded with your horse and them show their appreciation for you!

I am doing a ride in September and want to buy my horse some extra special bits and pieces so he stands out, as there is a prize for best turned out! I have got a new diamonte browband but wanted to get some other blingy stuff. He's dark bay so was going to go for white accessories but just...
