My mare wouldnt wee while riding either. So after grooming and putting saddle on I put her back into her stable for a moment and usually she weed, then we went riding...

How much do you usually pay for such a big round hay bale please? Do you pay extra for the delivery?

Thats right what was said before, concerning the heigh the hackamore has to be well on the cheekbone (similar to a headcollar). The wideness you can regulate on the noseband too, make is so that the sideparts dont touch the eyes. The chinchain should hang loose if you ride on long rein (which is...

I would also recomend good straw. As said before, it fills them up and has low callories. And keeps them busy in finding the good parts in the straw.

When my horse was on boxrest for 3 month, I fed her one bucked full of grass in the evening and left one bucket for beeing fed in the moning, which means the grass was overnight in the bucked abd didnt harm her at all. On my old hard the farmer cutted grass and fed it for evening, so it wasent...

Definitive no. Much healthier like that and horses have a great ability to adapt to temperature. Dont forget they like it cold. We, my horse and me came over from Switzerland, none of the 30 horses there living out (with great shelter) had ever a rug and we had temperatures well under zero for...

There are Hackamores with short shanks and leather on the nose and the one with long shanks and metal over the nose which is of course much stronger. With the short shanks you cannot do any harm, dont worry. Some horses react much better on preasure on the nose than on a bit, so just try it in...

I am looking for a sharer but dont know where to put an advert. Which place/webpage is good for it?

there are many dangerous things in life, and you all avoid them? Never drive without seatbelt, never ride a bike without helmet? No skiing, hill climbing and so on? All the same questions, and I dont tell you if you should go skiing or not, isnt it???

Can anyone recommend a good horse dentist in Surrey?

I would give it a go. I am riding very often with a hackamore, for hacking, small jumps, everything etc. I and my horse love it and definitifely prefere biteless. She is better to control. There are some horses which do respond better to nose pressure that to a bite and pulling in the mouth. I...

the same for me, I actually just moved into this area, and I am looking for a stable in a distance of up to 15 Miles. I have seen a few stables on the weekend, but as I am trying to find grass livery it is difficult. If you find something or would be interested in my list of stables... let me know!

Heading says it all: I am looking for a tack shop or saddlery in Surrey. Can anyone give me names and adresses please?

sorry but for this price I doubt that this is a hand made western saddle. New basic western saddles start with maybe 500-800 £. Plus why is a horse not suitable for western riding because of the tenson issue but for english riding it is? It's not a matter of the tack you use, it is how you ride...
