He's turned out for about 6 hours (he hadn't been turned out for 8 weeks before coming here) a day, and wrapped up just warm enough but not so warm he's sweating. He's fed haylage ad lib, and it is a high quality one. So far he's seemed pretty relaxed; he's been pretty one sided, but I blame the...

Definitely skinny - his ribs are seen, and his hips are sharp. However, he does have a fair bit of muscle on either side of his tail on the back end of his hindquarters, and his shoulders are huge; its his topline that is suffering the main bit. I will be taking photos tomorrow so as to keep a...

I recently bought a new horse, who has competed at a higher level than I have at eventing. However, that was last year - when I tried him, I don't think I realized just how skinny he was in the shade of the barn. He's still perfectly capable of working in a beautiful outline, but he is...

Thank you very much for all the help! May I ask why I should not go to Houghton Hall? The facilities seem very nice, although is it still in development or is it open to public? Thanks for the abundance of links jesstickle, really helps :) I'll get in contact with Moatsway Equestrian and see...

Hi, My family and I are looking to move to Cambridge, and with two horses that are eventing, looking for a good livery yard that can offer full or part livery. We looked at High Haden Livery, which seems perfect, but is a way out? Any help would be really appreciated. Looking to be on the...

Haha hey Jodie :p how was Xmas?

Hey everyone! I was just wondering if I could get some advice. I have had my 16.2hh gelding for over a year now, and feel ready for the eventing season. Last year he and I were getting accustomed to one another, but now we know each other inside out, and I trust him. We are jumping 1m sj...

I school my horse frequently - it's quite rarely I go hacking for anything other than warming up, and I go to a lot of different XC courses. He is perfect at home, really soft on the contact, and works gorgeously, and previously I've had comments on his movement. It's just a pain that at events...

I have a big 16.3HH ISH gelding, who I currently ride in a pelham for cross country - usually I'm okay in it, as he is much more responsive than when he is in a snaffle... but as we went eventing recently, I found out I actually had no control if I didn't stop between jumps. I think we ended up...
