    Why? Trailers and leaving the front door open?

    But surely with the breast bar and if the horse is tied correctly there is no way it can get it's head that far forward ? Or not in my trailer anyway as the open bit is too far forward and too high even for my 16.2 to put her head near.

    Why? Trailers and leaving the front door open?

    I do t know if I'm being totally stupid here, but do you mean travelling with the jockey door open or the small top bit above it with the rest of the door shut? I always travel mine with the back bed above the ramp open and the small bit above the jockey door open and always have, with no...

    Another what bit post ....

    Firstly I know a lot of you will say schooling is the answer but iv been working in this issue for a while now and quite frankly said horse knows she is stronger than me and if she wants to canter a bit more she can. Currently she's worked in a loose ring snaffle with a lozenge, and that suits...

    Reworded post about how much ....

    If my instructor had a yard I would send her away but he doesn't so unfortunately he'd have to come to me. I don't think it would take much to get her to where you'd expect a 6 year old to be and I also don't think she'd be too hard to sell as she's not quirky and generally a pleasant horse to...

    Reworded post about how much ....

    The problem is I can't really afford to pay at an hourly rate, well I could but I wouldn't be able to afford to pay for the time she'd need to make a significant improvement. Ideally I'd rather someone else vetted any potential buyers as I just don't think I can face doing it. I don't know...

    Reworded post about how much ....

    Ok il try again as my post was deleted as it was too much like an ad.... Unfortunately I have to sell Millie due to lack of time really and she's already wasted, in terms of her potential, with me. I have a vague idea of what to advertise her at but I'm also contemplating the idea of...

    Jock Paget cleared by the FEI

    It's a bit of a grey area when it one to supplements really. Anything which claims to alter a horses way if going us banned, regardless of whether any of the ingredients would test positive as a banned substance. Whether the supplement actually works on your horse is sort if irrelevent, it's...

    Where to advertise for a sharer?

    Due to a massive increase in hours at work I was thinking about looking for a sharer for Millie but not having much luck!! I'm flexible on days and ideally would like someone two to four days a week, only hacking. Unfortunately I don't have a arena that a sharer would be able to use, and...

    Is it a big deal if the rider, rides barefoot around a paddock?

    No it's not a big deal. Ride with out a hat if you you'll be fine !!!!!!!..... Until something goes wrong. All it takes is the horse to stumble or a bird to fly out and spook him for things to go wrong. I'm sure you are more than capable of making your own decisions regarding your safety, just...
