@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...

So is trot if you're rising on one diagonal though, riding wise both paces need "management" to limit one sidedness I'm not sure on canter v trot, canter feels nicer to maintain for prolonged periods, but there's the moment where all the horses weight is on one foreleg whereas in trot weight is...

No bankings any time I try he pulls them down so I figured he prefers flat. My stable is pretty square. I've hay and water in one corner on the same wall as the door. Can't have bed there as he likes to dunk and it turns into a swamp. But otherwise as far forward as reasonable

Looks very like a Christ Lammfelle for 4 times the price!

Fair, they may have it though anyway 🤷‍♀️ I know some of the classes it's cheaper to enter than pay two tickets in (assuming they don't also smuggle folk in the living)

Think a lot do it for the free entry tbh

Mmm, I just thought a raiser might alter the angle enough to stop the creases rubbing perhaps. I think I'd have sold or binned by now no matter how expensive they were

That sounds horrendous. Possibly too late now, but have you tried heel raisers?

@I'm Dun just a heads up, your name is in the comment box on your screenshots. I know I'm very open about who I am and have often linked direct to my own Facebook pics etc so it doesn't bother me but not everyone feels the same 😘 This sort of behaviour is deplorable. In a moment in defence of...
