She is an absolutely fantastic lady and trainer. She really turns horses and people around. I have a lesson with her every three weeks and she really helps me improve every time. She not only helps solve problem horses but she can progress you in any sphere you like. I had her origionally for...

That's just like my trainer fitzaud2, black and White boundaries, no grey areas, works a treat, mines Melanie Watson, she's doing a tv programme soon, if you google her you can find her website xx

Jess is called the court jester in full so I she's being naughty she gets jester and then others are chunky bum, special case, big flange , **** bag, chunky monkey, turnip, and of course the nice ones like baby girl, sweetie, dafty, jess of course lol xxx

Anybodies*

Oh just to add, I never hit jess, I would never as it's not Antibes right to force a horse to do something they are an animal and really at the end of the day are gna do as they wish. If you hit my horse you would lose he respect too it's just pointless, my trainer never strikes a horse with...

I havnt read through all the other posts because there's so many lol just thought I'd tell you ally side having used natural horsemanship. It really is the best thing for me and my horse. She's one of those typical mares that wants to be dominant, bargy n generally get her own way, she would...

Havin done an animal behaviour and training course it is like catnritchie said, cribbin is just chewing and windsucking is sucking in air using something to hold on to or not it depends on the horse. It's usually a vice due to stress so if you put a collar on to prevent it and it is a coping...

Anyway, she cant get her to stand at the mounting block nicely, she either refuses to...

ive been at my yard for 10 years now, its just a really nice yard, good facilities, not too big, only about 16 stables, its the only one in the area thats part livery with good facilities. I will probably move if my new job is out of the area, but if not ill be here for the foreseeable future

That seems better lol, i didnt know if there was a way of doing it on here or not i did it on paint in the end lol, thanks for your help :)

Lol random question but look how big they are! how do i do it so they are smaller?

Ear plugs are deffinately worth thinking about, i didnt even know you could get them for horses

I use mine but never really thought about its inaccuracies, mostly just use it to see if shes put any weight on or lost any but if you dont get it in exactly the same place every day and as said above, at the same time every day then your not really getting an idea if their weight is fluctuating...

Looks fine to me, tis just worn which you would expect from an older saddle, if its still got life in it and could sit comfortably on someones horse why not sell it

Fair play to you, when i got my girl she was three and a half and very scrawny. I bought brand new rugs, granted not very expensive but more expensive than this obviously, needless to say shes outgrown all of them, and trashed a few on the way lol. I love buying new rugs im a bit of a...
