In a bit of an emergency rush to create some form of pony paint/glitter gel to use on a horse for a fancy dress show tomorrow. Tried ordering some on the internet but it all went a bit wrong so no longer will be arriving so need some alternatives. The pony is grey so doesn't really need any dark...

My current body protector (normal racesafe) doesn't fit very well as I've lost some weight from when I bought it and have no ability to adjust it. The other day I tried on my friends racesafe provent 3.0 and it fitted a lot better despite being the same size as mine (adult small) which I think...

I've heard of them before, lvr equine I think do them. Not too sure how popular they are though but definitely look interesting :)

I've been riding for 6 years and jumping has always been my weak point. Last year I got up to my best and was able to happily go around 80cm courses with very few mistakes (dodgey strides). Over the winter I didn't really jump a lot due to horses being lame etc. I've come back to jumping in...

The 'owner' doesn't really iwn him anymore as he gave the horse up to the rs but still sees him and somethimes mucks out and treats the horse but nothin more. I rely on my mum for transport and she works different hours each week unfortunately so can't have set week days so we text the rs what...

It gets called both a part loan and a part share. There is some form of contract in place, I am required to do a minimum of 3 days per week and on those days the horse is 'mine' so I do full care other than bringing in. I pay for it along with helping out 1/2 times a week for free. The only...

I part share a horse and have done since April. He lives on a rs yard but wasn't being used as they went on a break so all was good and I could see him pretty much any day I wanted, 3 times a week. Not long ago they restated the lessons, but only for children, so as he's 16.2 he wasn't used...

Ps of sweeden do a similar bridle to the micklem, although I think it may be expensive. Although saying that, any of the bridles you're thinking of arent't cheap! I'd definitely try a normal drop first, cheaper than getting any of the others, but if the horse is happy in the micklem why change...

Seeing that I would say incorrectly buckled grackle. Don't think my browsing of the inline tack shops (including weird and wonderful) has thrown up anything like that. Looking up figure 8 cross under bridle just brings up normal grackles for me. Cross under bridle brings up bitless bridles.

I don't quite understand your description, but my knowledge of strange looking nosebands found on the internet has led me to the following possibilities: http://www.psofsweden.se/en/high-jump-revolution.html...

As part of an assignment for college I have to find out about horse insurance and why it's important to have. I've tried using the internet but am not sure where to look for information that isn't trying to get me to have it for my non existent horse. If you could link me/guide me to any...

There is a camera that does this, can't remember the name but it's £500+ I think the best way is either a go pro (or cheaper alternative) placed around the school in the desired location as then it won't matter if it gets hit. Depends what you want to film and all but unfortunately unless you...

I know two people who use one, it really depends on why. If you are using it to foce the horse to look pretty rather than properly working it into the contact then really you aren't helping yourself as it's likely that the horse still won't be using itself properly as it may not understand the...

I know a pony at my yard is the same, perfect out hacking but in the school the rider has to work to get him to do anything, but he is only 6. If he isn't normally ridden in the school could being slow be due to feeling insecure about the situation and him feeling out of his depth? If this...

Pretty much all of my riding experience has come from being in a riding school. I found the mixture of private and group lessons beneficial as in a private lesson you can work on you and then continue to work on the points given by the instructor in the group lessons whilst doing what ever you...
