Get yourself one of those mechanic stools on wheels, they even have a tray on the bottom for brushes and height adjustable to 😊

I bought one of these from Costco for a lot less than this one, folds flat for storage orputting in vehicle to take with you and nice and light! https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Home-Kitchen/Youngman-310898-Multi-Purpose-Trade-Platform/B0027ACE28

I have a Richardson Supreme Ultra that my Clydesdale travels in very comfortably (he's in 7'3" rugs). My hubby services our trailers, this includes checking floors, brakes, breakaway cable, wear on hitch etc. Tyres are changed when required either by age or wear. Get someone to do a pre purchase...

I have had numerous people in the past ask me "what is that?" (Usually with a look like they have poo under their noses) while pointing to my darling wee True hairless Crestie ( now sadly departed). My reply..., 'wow what you don't recognise a cat?' To those that were genuine in their interest...

I have an L5 showerking shower, it runs off gas and a water butt or trug full of water, it does have to have a pump (they are not huge) that runs off a wee 12volt battery to get the required pressure but that isn't a huge deal and the pressure is fine, good enough to wash a Clydesdale! And...

I have the Charles Owen Pro 2 and don't find even in the middle of summer I don't have a problem with a sweaty noggin. Personally I would go for a skull with removable liner if such is available, if you tend to have a hot head...sorry I know not a lot of help really.

I just spat tea all over my ipad! 😂😂

Do you have an instructor you trust and that knows you and your horse? If so have lots of lessons with them to help you regain your confidence. This is what I did after a nasty fall and it has made a massive difference in confidence, that and refinding my bloody minded determination to crack on.

I've had a variety of breeds, Border collie, lab mix, boxer, beagle, tibetan terrier and currently Chinese crested and a Chi x Crested, I think hairless Crested's and Chihuahua's are my favourites for life.

The rules of the road apply to both horse rider and cyclist IMO, therefore if at a giveway/junction you don't pause and look for traffic (any form) and just blithely come out you are in the wrong.

I have Sprenger Bow Balance, brilliant as I have dodgy, ankles, knee's and hips! Costly but for me worth it.

I have an 8 year old pure clydesdale and his feet are fab my farrier has actually passed comment on them and in almost 5 years he's lost 2 shoes due to scratching near stock wire and ripping them off. Your farrier may just not want to deal with a heavy horse some farriers don't, and don't...

Well maybe tell your instructor you don't want them to ride her and also consider if you feel you aren't making progress with not tensing up and anticipating an explosion this may not be the right horse for you to progress with. I truly hope you can get what you want out of having instruction...

I think your instructor is trying to help you by helping your horse and I would hope that you have picked an instructor that you trust to ride your horse and not someone who is going to abuse your horse when they get on, if you don't trust your instructor get a different one or don't have...

I would try to find somehere you can turn him out next to cows not with them, he will be stressed fir quite a while but eventually he should realise they are no threat. My lad is not enamoured with cows I can slow him down but dare not try to stop him, just the smell of them sets him off and...
