I think Koen should post some lovely pics of these amassing horses being ridden

Well that doesnt apply to me :D LOL

I have mine at home, and mine are in because of flooded fields which are being pumped.

ah shes sweet. My big boys passport starts... Bay, crossed out and replaced with roan... crossed out and replaced with bay again.. crossed out and replaced with steel grey! Hes 10 now and a typical dapple grey, but as a bubba they didnt have much of a clue what he was going to be!

Years ago, we used to cut their tails off! lol... the idea was that people were always in a hurry to bring a horse back in to work before they were ready, so cut the tail off at the end of the dock, turn it away, and when the tail had grown back and its sound you could bring it back in to work!

yes, I use to clip, I have one bad shoer, so its used then, and I put one on for the vet! not that long ago for jabs

Oh dear... I suspect you have never ridden a highly schooled horse which has sooo many "buttons" its scary. My horse wouldn't know what to do if i gave it a pony club kick, he'd probably throw a wobble and put me on the floor! why? because you have to be precise with him, there is a different...
