I usually explain it that you're about to step on to a 10m circle but then use your inside leg to "pause" the circle. So you set up the circle then say actually not yet.

FEC yes, never blood tested for encysted but previous yard had a worming program and disregarded work counts 🤷‍♀️ however, as a result he's definitely had a 5 day panacur during a Feb freeze so hopefully would make that unlikely. I'll add to the list though. I'll also add Cushing's to the...

That's interesting about the pssm, the 4 year old is only about 16hh - so relatively short for the breed but looks proportional at that and she wasn't looking for him to be super tall. He's a sweet dude, I feel deeply suspicious that it can't be the milk thistle but it's the only obvious...

Friend has a 4 in june Belgian draught. Owned from a 6 month weanling, imported from Belgium. Gelded as a yearling. He's never really thrived - which wasn't hugely worrying, big heavy breed especially you don't want them carrying excess as youngsters. He's always peed and drunk a lot - seen...

I've ordered a 3 compartment one 🤑 🙄 i figure I can put a few bags of straw pellets in the bottoms to keep the feed accessable at the top I considered a freezer but a flat pack feed bin will be easier to get to the farm, and I don't love barrels for the same reason as bins - they just don't...

Anyone use them? I find I need to rodent proof my feed room at the moment and these look the best option. But I really don't like them. I'm small and basically have to cartoon clamber to get near the bottom of them, I don't like that you can't rotate feed properly and empty them really ever...

How do you think I found out mine is 3 😂😂😂

I think I'd struggle to get more than 3 in my Aygo - two in the back and one in the front passenger side. My ancient Citroen ax was much better as you could flip the back of the back seat right off and sort of fit it in the rear footwell to flatten the whole back like a van. Definitely had a...

@Honey08 yes and no, you don't get feedback on the day from the examiner. You get results via email within 15 working days. However they do speak about the practical with you - are you happy with the boots? Er no that one has slipped let me fix it or were you able to practise safe procedure at...

Certainly at lower levels (up to stage 3) you get a chat with the examiner after about how it went. It's a good chance to "rescue" something that you realise you perhaps didn't get right - if you acknowledge it and address it... (Again though, I can't speak beyond 3) It read to me like the...

I know people who have taken "positive" fail feedback the wrong way for BHS exams previously. Where they've been told something in a positive way, and can't understand why they failed. I think there is a risk of being over polite and leaving room for confusion

Raging about the feedback. I suspect the candidate knew the rider well - both based at talland. And probably taught considering that familiarity. Examiners don't know background and possibly misinterpreted the manner which would not have been acceptable to someone the candidate didn't know. She...

Bhs progressive riding tests?

First up stop they must doing what you've described. I might be inclined to change the dog bed around so I'm not encouraging the behaviour Secondly, teach the dog to trade, let them have something low value and trade for higher value item. Nylabone for chicken skin type job. Thirdly, don't...

Have you tried having a good medium canter as you're going round before the bell? Also I think intro tests are dull and fiddly and it sounds like your horse might too 😂 I'd be inclined to do prelim only personally, a bit more to do might inspire him. Id sacrifice outline and nice for travelling...
