Erik Mckechnie? I'm having a few schooling 'issues' and i found a website where you can send a video of you and your horse to one of the trainers and get feedback from them. I've heard of Erik and i'm thinking of sending him a video to see if he can help. Has anyone had a lesson with him...

I agree, excellent plan and i don't think you've broken him .... they're all a bit bonkers right now because of the weather and the fact that spring is supposed to be on the way. Good Luck and i'm sure in a few weeks you and he will be back on track.

So true!!

Very helpful, thank you. Having read all the replies i feel less of a wimp. Unfortunately, my knowledge of boating is limited noblesteed ...(although i do find listening to the shipping forecast very relaxing!!) I think 25 mph gusts would be my limit but, i suppose you just have to judge it...

I like that .. when the seagulls are flying backwards. You're all pretty hardcore! I am a wimp. Am going to man up a bit and just get on with it providing there is no flying debris or seagulls going in the wrong direction!

I don't have an indoor school ... sadly. So, i have to brave the weather. i'm pretty good in the driving rain and will ride when it's a bit windy. But, when it's blowing a gale i have to throw in the towel and admit defeat. My horse is fairly sensible in bad weather providing we're not in the...

I use a pessoa and it doesn't cause the horse to over bend if you adjust it correctly. I've also used a cheaper version of the pessoa which was great to begin with but i wouldn't recommend it. Over time the metal adjusters lost their grip so the ropes started to get longer after a few minutes...

V impressive scores. Sounds like it's onwards and upwards for the two of you in 2012. Congratulations!! Love the antlers.

That made me chuckle!

I use lo - cal and i really like it. Both my horses have shiny coats, are in great condition and look fab. I have friends who use top - spec and swear by it .... not a very helpful post .... sorry!

Go for it!!!!!

I want an indoor!!!!!!

You're lucky to have Matt!! He's obviously very good and it's lovely that you get to train with a friend. You and your lovely wee horse are looking fabulous. V excited for you.

If it aint broke then don't fix it! I like french link snaffles but that's just my personal preference. Horses will often lean on a pelham. It isn't going to help him become rounder and more engaged. Correct schooling will do this.
