As stated, anyone have an idea what I could try? He's great in his Waterford, light and easy, but back in his snaffle we're straight back to leaning and tanking. He's been in a loose ring snaffle and is now in a NS verbindend snaffle, both much the same. Any help much appreciated, dressage on...

Think the every 6 months thing is for FEI passports but I could be wrong.

Anyone seen a schedule yet?

My horse is going through exactly the same at the moment. he had antibiotics and bute for a week, stopped bleeding then as soon as the drugs finished, it came back. He's on antibiotics again and due to finish on Monday when we'll have to wait and see. Am madly crossing my fingers that it's...

It's generally a trickle, very visable flow but drops rather than puddles, dark red. when you clean it, it's back straight away. His box looks like the set of a slasher movie! Always been just the one nostril, although I'm no longer finding that remotely comforting.

First thing I did was make sure he checked them when he did the endoscope! Once they were clear I thought we were home and dry, apparently not!

Right, am beginning to freak out and think horrible thoughts! My horse (6 yr old TB) started having a little nosebleed on the 3rd Jan, only one side, not too worried. However when he was still bleeding the next day, vet came out, endoscoped and said he thought it was a sinus infection, muchos...

Having been booted on wednesday by horse and ended up with plates in both ulna and radius was wondering if anyone could give me any light at the end of the tunnel? Consultant reckons it'll be 3 months before I'm riding, SURELY NOT!

Have just registered my horse on line with BE so is up and running now!

Was wondering if anyone has any experience using a hackamore in the XC phase. Have something that's got a horribly sensitive mouth and copes well with a hackamore but just not sure my steering would be acurate enough for skinnies, combinations, e.t.c. Any thoughts?

Would have to be the Dutch rider, Tim Lips, horse, can't remember it's name but it was absolutely stunning.

I know I'm also REALLY late to this thread but would also love to come and play! I'm based in south Lincs and would recommend Hoods just north of Lincoln
