I've watched this too.. I know nothing about breeding, and have never seen a mare foal before but something about this video made me feel really uncomfortable. I don't think I can stomach watching another one!

I'm right handed and have double reins on the right and over my hand... Completely wrong by the sounds of it but I can't imagine having them on the left! :p

Thanks that's really helpful! She's currently ridden in a Cheltenham gag when hacking so I know that's something we need to work on for dressage!!

Hi everyone, This year I am hopefully going to be attending my local riding club shows with my loan horsey - at the age of 16 and being an ex-affiliated show jumper she is well used to the world of shows & is extremely well kitted out by her owner, whereas I have no idea :o I am hoping to...

Thanks a lot guys.. I'll pass on the names and hope one of them is suitable!

Hi all, A colleague of mine has just moved from New York with his girlfriend and she wants to find somewhere she can continue with her riding lessons. He has asked me if I can recommend somewhere in or near to Central London. As I commute in, I really have no idea! I could easily search the...

I'm a good one... We are out there :) My share horse is 16 years old, not a novice ride, strong, stubborn and can be a bugger when hacking but I knew all that before I took her on. I would definitely agree with being honest about him, and what you're after. Before I even went to look at...

Hi all, I'm really rubbish at making decisions and need some help! The horse I have on part loan is an ex-affiliated showjumper, but unfortunately she now suffers from ringbone so is almost fully retired from jumping. Her owner is taking her daughter and her pony to a show next weekend...

What a load of rubbish!!! There are plenty of sharers that would jump at an opportunity like this, and I can't believe the OP hasn't had more interest! Not all of us are in the position financially or otherwise to have our own horses and something like this is quite literally a god send! I...

Haha I do this too... Boyfriend thinks I'm crazy! I always think my car is going to "spook" when I'm driving through roadworks!!

Firstly I'd just like to say what a fab forum this is... I've been meaning to post this thread for at least a week but every time I come on here there are so many interesting posts that I forget why I visited in the first place!*:) Anyway, back on subject...* I am looking to find some...

Gotta be worth a try!? :p Right, looks like I'm going hat shopping tomorrow then!! Will look out for the Champion you mentioned. Thanks all x

It is scary to think what could have happened without a hat. I got whiplash a couple of months ago from a different horse turning into a bucking bronco, so I hope I'm not going to be in too much pain with my neck following today's accident. My current hat that now needs replacing is a...

Thanks for all the replies... I guessed the answer would be yes, but just thought I'd ask anyway! xx

Hey, I was schooling my horse this morning in the indoor school at the yard. Had just started cantering when she tripped and fell onto her front knees. As she regained her balance and pulled herself up I was 'catapulted' out of the saddle and fell to the ground a few feet away from where she...
