    Show/Dressage jackets for taller riders?

    I'm 5ft 9, size 12 with long arms, and the only way I could get a decent fitting tweed was to buy male one and get it extensively altered at a decent tailor. Worked out about £180 for the jacket and adjustments.

    Over enthusiastic youngster! Reach schooling a pacer, any tips?

    Thankyou be positive ☺️ I've been doing this the last few times she's been ridden, it seems to be helping! She's more willing to slow. I have decided that I am going to mostly hack out over the winter with my older horse as a lead, to let her see the world and hopefully settle her...

    Hi fairyclaire, if you search pioneer endurance, or pioneer endurance head shy bridle the contact details will come up. She has a Facebook page too. Our lad hated getting his ears touched after getting Liverpool cream treatment at the base of one :( poor lad! But I can't recommend these guys...

    Retraining a sulky horse, all advice welcome.

    She is put together very well, so I hope she will be a nice riding horses. She's bang on 14.2 so a nice compact size too. But if her legs are shot from racing on the tarmac and the weight of a rider is too much she can go back to being a companion again. Yes, that sounds about right - I'm not...

    Retraining a sulky horse, all advice welcome.

    Paddi22 she looks lovely. Lanky Loll I'll have a look at those pages, thanks. Breeding is a bit confusing. According to her paperwork her dam was a registered connie, but she is unregistered, as is her sire. If she takes to riding well enough to get to a few shows I'll go down the Dna route...

    Retraining a sulky horse, all advice welcome.

    I've decided to break in my companion horse this summer. I originally took her on as a rescue, knowing if I didn't she would be going to the local mart, being slaughtered for meat was a very real possibility. I've recently found out some of her history. She did the rounds with a group so...
