The lady in the you tube is not the kate jones rider of Hollywood VI. I'm 100% certain of this

I know of the lady who is tagged above, and I believe she rides her own, and for work. So could possibly be a genuine mistake... I don't really know why she would do otherwise

I put my horse of a life time to sleep this year. He was retired but looked well, there were just a few things that you wouldn't notice if you didn't "know" him. I purposely told very few people, only the people at the yard who had to know. ie yard owner and a very trusted friend who I knew was...

Either accept it, buy your own hay/bedding in and hack a lot, or leave. I would leave at £50per week to be honest. You can find better near me, however it might be cheap for your area They are offering a product to you, you either take it or you don't

My normally very clean lady cat, pooed under the bed at 3am this morning. The bigger cat was asleep in the doorway blocking her exit 🤢💩😭

He speaks sense about a lot of stuff. However I belive his actual qualifications are not science based... so I look at what he says as one point of view, and look further. Often I agree, but not always. I'm not convinced that he is completely unbiased. He is another who is quick to jump on...

Mines had pen turn out since November, I decided to introduce grass this week, slowly - starting with an hour on Friday - thinking the fields will hold up to a couple hours a day. It has been going ok, until yesterday when he decided to have a little buck and a fart, we are on clay, the skid...

It is dependant on the horse. Most people advocate for out 24-7, but for my old boy he felt significantly less stiff having a night in his stable when it is very cold and damp, he also really struggled with frozen ground. You know your horse.

Mine is an IDx maybe its an ID thing 😲

Mine is similar but not quote as extreme. I have had to ride 6 days a week all through winder to keep a lid on him 🥱 He is chilling a bit more now so looking forward to some let down time in summer

I wouldn't want my horse with noting to eat for hours before I get down. I always aim to have something left so would add more soaked hay or straw to his night time rations. Hopefully the additional early morning exercise will help him:)

I just feed the molassed pellets, its so much more cost effective in this current climate and the rest of my horses feed is extremely low suger so I dont worry about the molasses content in half a scoop too much - you can make it watery and scoop it out with a sieve which reduces the molasses...

To be honest as long as it is safe any most horses would be fine for stage 2. They do not have to be push button. I had one lazy but willing on the flat. Then a cheeky chap for the jumping who tried to set his neck and run out at the fences with other candidates. But actually as long as you...

Slightly underhorsed, it's far easier to fire up something that is a little lazy. Than cope with something that is borderline too much. One you cross that line and get a but scared it can escalate quick and be hard to come back
