If he’s sound enough … (careful) driving?

Mines a fan of the performance fibre by dengie for just before tacking up time. I also offer hay plus haylage overnight.

There’s a FEI jumping horse without a browband. Can’t remember its name right now….

Over in NL at Exloo. Middle of the class exactly in 19th/38 after dressage. He couldn’t have tried harder!

I’ve never been offered the indirect route..! But very glad he’s arrived safely in the end. Our Calais stop over was full up Tuesday night!

Not quite true. They can advise off license with good reason (like non response to treatment) to be going off cascade.

Mines lives in a running plait. You can pull it into a more native type mane too if you prefer.

If she’s clean she’s good to go for dressage. Personal preference how you present her feathers, mane/plaiting wise. I don’t leave a saddle patch for summer clips.

Quite right too. Should have taken my coat off!

But the equestrian centre has 6-12 stay away shows a year to recoup that. The camp site 365 nights (they hope!). It’s often expensive but I see it as a luxury for when times are good or it’s very cold! Most our shows are greenfield so even higher costs.

Yes. The big transporters will offer it too but of course there’s a cost implication vs being 1 of a load.

If you pay for an individual load it doesn’t need to be a multi day shunting effort. Assuming the older horse is in good health I wouldn’t think twice about it.

I wish. The oldies are still out and never came in but the bigger horses field is crazy wet, as is the field I work them on in the summer.

Yes I have just liability (at home and at work as a non working dog) for my non banned breed with them.

Chamois covered normal bit? Or is it the flexibility you want.
