H can't, or maybe he just thinks he's too good to be drinking from a stream? The main trough is solid ice, but the stream and lake are fine, but oh no Mr High and Mighty couldn't possibly do me a favor and drink from those could he?

I agree, and feel that with some of the OP and her horses issues, a light but consistent contact would be useful. Flat work and, as I said above a light but consistent outline (Not OTT Totilas style bend! ;)) would help the horse to be balanced and engage her hindquarters. The below link...

I'd just written a long answer out, but you've just said it all

H is the same, when he's in the ring working he'll be totally silent, but as soon as you salute and drop the reins he jogs out of the ring screaming his head off!

Dear Santa, I'm sure that T has been telling you how good I've been all year, so good that I even got to have my wicked way some lady friends :D No I'm sure you realize that this, along with all the dressage I've been doing is very tiring, and I could do with a good holiday. So, if it isn't...

Depends where you are/ where you're selling to; I like http://www.warmbloods-for-sale.com which has sellers in Europe, USA and Russia

Fine, sounds like a situation many people are in Because your mums too busy hunting other horses, why doesn't she sell one of them? H&H, horsemart, horsequest, horsedeals, ad trader types, horse&rider, horse magazine If you have no money don't buy more!!! Maybe this comes across as...

I don't mind posting Videos, but as I've said on another thread, I do it because I want criticism, I want to know how to improve. I feel that although on forums members can disagree with you, at least it gives you an insight into the way other people ride and train

Yes, drivers can be idiots, but jumping all over the road could one day cause an accident!

Surely if she behaves like this, she shouldn't be on the roads? If you really must go out in traffic, go in pairs, riding two abreast; put Ebony furthest away from cars. When you hear/see cars, as someone else said turn her head to make sure she notices them before they come past, usually...

Last week we paid our lovely father and son farriers 30,000RUB to shoes 20 horses, which works out at about £30 per horse... of course this is in Siberia so none of you can steal them!

Horsk, Russian Trakhener, used to be almost black, but dappled out, and is now almost white

Same, one of the main ways we're told to get the 'easy marks' (I know it's not really easy!!!) is to ride accurately, maybe it was the camera angle but it looked far from precise and the horse did not seem to be enjoying himself :o

Have you got a photo with her standing square (and maybe a bit smaller :p)

Trust me, I'd much rather I hadn't had some of the PMs that I have! Both from young members that I've pointed out perhaps aren't treating their elderly ponies correctly, and from well respected members of the CR board (which is why I don't post there much anymore) being discriminatory about my...
