    Horse hunting - Andalucian

    My lad is a PRE (pure bred spanish horse) and I can certainly vouch for the breed as being very versatile horses. My lad (at 4) jumps, hacks, schools (he picked up leg yield and shoulder in in a couple of 20 minute sessions!), he has been to his first clear round show and was impeccably behaved...

    What is your 4year old doing?

    Mine will be 5 in March so is only just a 4 year old! At the moment he is being sorted by my lovely YO as I broke my collarbone and associated ribs 3 weeks ago! At present he is exercised 6 days out of 7 and mainly hacks, but will be schooled for 2 of the 6 days, is lunged at least once a...

    A bit of encouragement required!

    Thanks a lot TP, I'm hoping that my operation will fall at the end of my recovery for my collarbone so that I can get it all done in one go!!! I'm so lucky in as much as my fab YO has him of full livery for me and is a dab hand at bringing on youngsters. She has done plenty with him previously...

    A bit of encouragement required!

    Chalk another statistic up for the equine injury tally! I had an impromptu flying lesson courtesy of my young man a fraction over 3 weeks ago. I landed on my right shoulder and unsurprisingly - he threw in a MASSIVE buck when he thought some trees were going to eat him alongside the school...

    For fun: how well would your horse survive in the wild??

    My young Bo is brave as a lion and a walking oesophagus - if he ever met a predator he'd most likely try to eat it himself!

    Barefoot people - diet?

    I am fortunate that my lad was barefoot in Spain and only had front shoes on for a couple of months when he came over to the UK before they were taken off again - as a consequence he already has rock hard feet. He's on Alpha-A lite, Baileys fibre cubes, garlic and biotin and has my local...

    Let's hear it for the confidence givers!

    I had a bit of a sentimental moment as I was riding my new horse last night - I would not be sat on this young hooligan and chasing him on, without the help and patience of a wonderful confidence giving pony - she's very well known on HHO, she's the wonderful Genie owned by Miss_C. Thank you...

    Schooling livery S. Glos area

    Hi all. I'm afraid I need a bit of help from those in the know! I have had the misfortune of fracturing a bone in my wrist and have been put in plaster, putting all of my plans with my lovely new boy on hold for a while - I'm on strict instructions not to do anything with him. :( As he...
