    Aston Le walls xc schooling on a surface

    I went this weekend :-) it's mega! Not cheap, £30 + VAT per horse, but well worth it so long as you're competently jumping 90cms, otherwise there's not really enough below that to make it worthwhile in my opinion. Loads of skinnies, boxes, corners etc all set up so they can be done on their own...

    Keeping the lower still and passive...

    I have this very same problem that I've recently found/attempted to tackle!! Sounds very basic but tying my stirrups to my girth has helped immensely, I'm quite amazed at the difference just by having my legs kept in the same place! My muscles definitely knew about it afterwards for the first...

    Best calmer for a spooky horse?

    Brilliant thank you for the endorsement, seem to be a number of recommendations for Equifeast & I like the fact you can speak with them & they tailor it for you. He is not a naughty stressy horse, but he is a spooky warmblood by nature & often spoils lovely work with tension & spooking. Would be...

    Best calmer for a spooky horse?

    Thanks everyone for your replies - really interesting reading :-) I'm definitely going to look into the nutrients he's getting in his feed & have ordered a calmer to start on my trial and error process...! Don't get me wrong it's lovely to feel him feeling well, would just be good if he could...

    Best calmer for a spooky horse?

    Hi, sorry I know this has been done to death but I'm not having much luck with HHO's search function! I'm basically looking for a calmer that can help my spooky warmblood concentrate on the job again - he's a real 'summer' horse who prefers being out at night, warmer weather, variety of work...

    Well our luck had to turn worse eventually - Keysoe BE100

    Sorry to not have seen you on Sunday! Well done on the first 2 phases & what a shame about the XC :-( you have to try the tricky lines sometimes don't beat yourself up! If it makes you feel any better I had the exact same dressage problem, I really would've been better off carrying round the...

    Odd Q: Do you find you're always ~ the same start no. in section

    I was 34th in my section on Saturday & now I'm 34th again this weekend - did think that was an odd coincidence!

    Purston Manor??

    Ahhh great thanks for the head cam footage - brilliant view! Have to say your other half made it look very easy though! :-) still not sure, hate decisions!!

    Purston Manor??

    Thanks both! I have noseyed at the course pics & thought it looked doable but big! I think he'd cope fine with the questions would just need to be fit enough & I'd need to have my brave pants on!!

    Purston Manor??

    Hi all :-) So I've been trawling the net this eve trying to decide whether to enter Purston BE100 or not (need to make mind up by Wednesday!!) & I just wondered if anybody had been and could offer any suggestions? This is my horse's first full season & he has done BE100 at MK2 (big but...

    We'll be attempting the BE100 tomorrow too! :-) & I can confirm they've been aerovating everywhere so with some heavy overnight rain we should be ok - have fun everyone!

    Clear XC at Carlton BE100 - Bill comes good :o)

    Big well done on your clear - it was a big track! Really sad I didn't get to ride round it but my boy was just being too wimpy on the hard ground!! Love your video!!! You must be really near to us as we go to all the same venues, reckon I've probably got enough for outtakes too now! Well done...
