Another who would never long rein a yearling 🤷‍♀️ As a 2 yo I practised looping a soft training rope around my horse’s bum and getting him to turn. I also did a couple of less than 5 min sessions with two training ropes. Always just off headcollar; no roller at this point as their backs are...

Basically the outside rings squish the inside ones against the face/cheek. Supposed to reduce pressure on the corners of the mouth and ‘aid laterality’

Saved this from fb years ago. This what you’re thinking? 🤣

Pic not clear but is it a Wilson snaffle? More often used for driving than riding.

It’s a volunteer role at endurance events. Literally, writing for the vet. I’ve done it a few times for SERC and EGB and found it really interesting, despite having little experience of endurance riding.

Thought I recognised the field!

We had our first little try on of a saddle today. It’s been absolutely miserable weather today; luckily I managed to grab a few mins between downpours/hail storms, but it was still blowing a hooley. You can tell he was really bothered by it all…

And no Maryland 5* this year so that’s the only US 5* event

I’ve always stuck pretty close to what I wanted, I’ve always narrowed down suitable adverts quite intensely to reduce travelling to view (have always lived in the middle of nowhere type areas). Even from my first pony/horse, I wanted a 15-16hh 4-8yo gelding, not grey or coloured and preferably...

As long as you realise that it will probably take longer to find, and quite possibly cost more, I’d not be in too much of a rush to compromise. I had always wanted a dun sportshorse gelding (true dun, not buckskin) and he was truly, utterly worth waiting for! I have no ambition to compete at...

I love mine! No issues with them getting damaged yet.
