Sometimes we would turn back yeah :/ if we were on our own.. never thought of it that way. Have turned around on occasion in company also, but would also do circular routes, and not always go the same way (there are 2 circular routes)

He doe's have manners on the ground, leading him around the yard, to and from the field etc, if he so much as steps out of line and I inhale loud he *****s himself. He was hellish to long rein at one point, but I did manage him, and MADE him go where I wanted, when I wanted, it was hard but I...

She is trying to school him, but the more pressure she puts on him, the more he plays up. I started out long reining him in august and he was brill... so I did this again march thinking it would improve him, before lunging and he was a nightmare, spinning, bucking, rearing, kicking out, so i...

Yes August, and rode around once a week from november time. I never went far with him on his own, just to the beach which is 10 minutes down the road, which he did all the time, and to be honest it wasnt very often we went on our own, he was always fine with a person walking aswell. He hasn't...

Probably a month, I didn't do anything with him for at least that before he went away to an instructor

Hi everyone, I bought my horse almost a year ago, and he is so lovely on the ground, cheeky, sometimes naughty. He's only just turned 4 in April. I backed him in August as a 3 yo, had a few problems getting him to go forward and napping, but he soon got out of the habit and was going...

I've just got a message from my friend who put my horse out for me this morning, saying he's in the bad books. she said he was naughty rugging him up, then went to put him out he saw something in the field next door his head shot up ran backwards half rearing, then was practically climbing on...

Thought i'd update!! He has a bruised sole.. panic over! He'll be back in work in no time :) Thanks for all the advice

Is it possible that it could be a locking patella? As for the bucking i would get her back checked, especially after just having a foal too x:)

He got retired due to having a bad bleed, I had him vetting before i got him and he was fine, I'd of thought anything due to losing fitness would of made an appearance by now, i discovered he has a locking patella when he started losing fitness. Well because i thought it may be...

I've booked the vet to come out on wednesday, I've turned him out bandaged as it wasn't making any difference being stabled, and he seems to be a little bit better, we trotted him up again last night and realised its the first 3 or 4 strides are the worst and he seems to improve the more he...

I got the physio out for his back, as he was sore/stiff etc. He only seems lame in tight circles and trot, and I've had him in because of his leg, and its not noticable when he's walking so when i turned him out i never noticed, the only thing i did notice was him not really being very...
