My boy kept growing and ended up 17hh!i also am 5'2 Sadly he was put down in march. Super lovely horse though wouldn't hesitate to get another one but a lot seem to have wind problems. He competed to elementary dressage and would have gone further he had a great jump but didn't enjoy that as...

On phone so can't do a detailed reply, but what a fab thread on something I really need help with. My take on it is confidence is so easily dented and not always from falls or other incidents but simply being around the wrong people. I spent a lot of my competitive career around 'good' people...

Hi lou lou also a west cork person here a fair few local events as mickyjoe said! Where bouts are you?

Pretty sûre its a berney, on the stirrup bar is there any mark usually berney put the width ie. N M W on the bar. Lovely old saddles, 300 pounds sounds about right.

Curry curry curry comb and curry again!

Thanks guys found a legend a few weeks ago on eBay that's perfect and just got a jaguar jumping saddle fitted so think I'm sorted :)

I had a fantastic junior horse by him very cheeky but talented and no malice in him
