Oh right, my mistake then! I thought that the BBC only has the showjumping coverage up!

Hi all, have been looking for days as was at work and have finally found a link to watch some of the XC online, I'm sure it will be taken down as soon as Badminton get hold of it so be quick! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWBedWxIKTU enjoy!

There is a 9 month old black Arab colt on Preloved at the moment for £5000 so I would say that £4500 sounds about right!

I believe what she is trying to get the horse to do is to step back from her when the rope is shaken, and whe this is accomplished in the right way the signal has to be extremely minimal and can be really effective to use to educate a horse who has no respect for space (saw a woman at my old...

My Hermes are wonderful always use them, and they are very cheap compared to others as well x

I love this, he's clearly called Comet for a reason! Lovely to see an equine so blatantly happy!

Nothing unfair has been said here, perhaps I lacked knowledge I should have had with an inured horse, but due to this being my first full loan I had never had the responsability of such a horse on my hands, and I took advice from others as gospel which was retrospectively wrong. I would just...

I think this is a fair and concise way to summarise this thread. I have said all I have to say

Yes but had I have kept him longer, he would have been through the rigamarole of being sedated for the vet as and when, cortazone injections, being poked and prodded about, all this time living in pain and in his box which was sending him off his rocker already..

The horse we are talking about whisper was advertised to me as 17.2 but the farrier didnt believe me and remeasured him as 18hh. However the YO measured him as 17.2 (and a half) as well so we were never totally sure. And yes my job is secure until the 25th but I am sitting waiting for the...

I have explained why 6 days, that what i was advised by more than one source I had no reason not to believe and I did not know any better which I will admit it 100% my fault. And I paid out of my won pocket as I rang an advice bureau and they advised me I am more likely to get some money from...

You are massively entitled to your opinion but as I say they either said put him down, or we will sign him over to you and due to circumstances I have explained taking him on was not an option at all. I had no means of caring for him. He was tried as a happy hacker and became unmanageable due...

Which are the ones you would like to know about? The one about the mare was my first. I had found the mare and been to see her agreed everything and those were some questions that my mum had asked that, not having had a full loan before I didn't know the answers to. So I asked people on here...

Thankyou very much for saying this, I'm thankful you took the time to write this.. Right. THIS IS NOT A HOAX FOR ATTENTION.. I took this horse on yes, a couple of months ago and perhaps became more attached to him than I would another person to a horse because I have wanted a horse my whole...

Yes it is.. he was very lame and weak behind as a result so even if he came sound after the box rest or field rest (which would have driven him crazy), he would only have been a happy hacker which wouldn't have been enough for him to keep him mentally stimulated. As he was 17 as well it was the...
