    I bought a grey Passier one recently, it moulds to the shape of the horse, meant to be better than gel pads etc, and springs back to shape after use

    Youngsters 1st Dressage! Is this a good result?

    That's a great score, what a good boy to get that on his first outing, I always think must be so daunting for them at their first show so you should be really chuffed :)
