Thanks for your interpretations everyone! I love the urgent trill she does, it's like "**** **** **** slow down slow down enormous jump approaching!" except so much cooler. I would take it up myself if I could only make that noise... haha And armchair rider, aren't the ears adorable!

So I'm just enjoying some vicarious monday evening luhmuhlen action with Ingrid Klimke's brilliant head cam video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nZ_a1okG0Q I'm on the edge of my seat! Love the little happy ears. Anyway I was just wondering if anyone can make sense of what she's saying? She...

Once the canter's established and she's cooperating I go two-point and bridge my reins in case she stumbles and I'm thrown forwards.

Normally they err on the side of caution with remedial shoeing so if they haven't recommended it then the probably think it won't make any difference. But if you're not sure then bring it up with either your vet, the clinic vet or your farrier!

They usually re-de the lameness exam on the day just to check nothing's changed since the horse was referred. The horse has to stand COMPLETELY still, so depending on temperament it can take longer for some than others. Every time the horse moves (even a millimetre) the magnet will have to be...

I just looked on the website and there is zero science to back them up, they just vaguely allude to middle eastern philosophies. Speaking as a physicist... I see no reason to buy one. Unless if you really believe it's going to help you then it will probably give you a psychological boost.

Horse and hound have a 'you deserve a mint' thing on the letters page!

I have done several shares, have paid in the past but at the moment I am not. To be honest, if this one ended (which I hope it doesn't) I would not be willing to pay for another because there are SO many horse out there for share at the moment, it feels like every day there's another one on the...

I know the one you mean! Someone's commented saying "He looks so skinny! :(" and this is the photo they are making this judgement on https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/s403x403/998987_10151513301332913_1156618091_n.jpg

I think I read somewhere that the dappling is an extra gene on top of whatever colour the horse is. That's why you can get dappled bays etc as well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sA8bmMeUyZ0 Man lunging with a rope halter and swizzel stick or whatever it's called. I love the lefty-righty game he plays with the horse, but the quarters-in circles at the end are just amazing. I'm not sold on a lot of the parelli stuff, but this horse is...

That's interesting about the big dairy. I don't plan on doing any protesting! Just think it's wrong how the supermarkets try to drive the pence per litre below cost price. Do the farmers get more when it's an independent brand, like Yeo Valley?

I thought there might be someone here who knows what it's like to be a dairy farmer. Which milk/dairy brand gives the best deal for the farmers and the cows? Is organic better?

Butter wouldn't melt! And Evil Knievel, surely...?!

Oh god my sister and I do this! There is a range of different squarky noises that mean things like "you're in my way!" or "that's interesting!" or just general confusion. It started off as an attempt to communicate with stupid-as-arse chickens but it's really getting out of hand! I accidentally...
