Just looked at BDWP and it says Phillip Dutton ride Dusky Moon at Blenheim in 2003 so maybe he brought him off him I'm sure Eddie Stibbe also brought The Hounorable Bob as well - maybe THB became Autumn Breeze III - he seemed to aquire him soon after KD stopped riding him xxx

I always thought Dusky Moon used to be The Honourable Bob but Eddie Stibbe changed his name because he liked to use the 'Dusky' prefix on his horses?

Thank you!!! Thats a great help, there's just so many to try, but at least I know that they generally fit Serena nicely and (lots of wishful thinking here), I might be able to stick on a bit better!

I've been looking for a jumping saddle since Christmas and am really struggling I brought a Fieldhouse dressage saddle in November which really fits my horse lovely but every jumping one we have tried so far fits terribly Ive been looking for a fieldhouse as my dressage one is so nice and...

Have you tried lunging the pony in a pessoa? My friend has a major problem like this with her horse - couldn't do anything in canter and trotted around like a camel! She was told by her instructor to lunge in a pessoa 3 times a week and it seems to have helped.
