    Urgent!cant get hold of admin or H&H staff ? Do they even exist!

    HHO admin are ignoring all my messages- how do I get hold of them? Can't even get hold of anyone from the horse and hound magazine either. Initially, how do I delete/ edit old posts? As there is no edit button on the posts.

    Canter right depart issues

    I've had the exact same problem for ages& have just cracked it ! Basically they drop the right rein contact & throw all their weight solid onto that left shoulder. Be so careful about straightness on both reins & do not dominate with the left rein contact, you must build up to having plenty of...

    Kieffer Saddles

    What a nightmare for you!! I think you simply cannot go ordering saddles off the peg or going with certain brands until you know *exactly* what tree shape your horse needs. The problem with Equipes, Bliss etc is that they're all basically the same tree shape within the brand so are simply not...

    loose jumping

    Sure he'll be absolutely fine!! Just next time, short and sweet sessions is much better- just send him down the shoot 5 times max & leave it at that- you could do 5 separate short sessions once a week ending with the jump a little bigger each time :-)

    I don't know what to do about this little ex racehorse :(

    He's a little cracker!! I really wouldn't worry to much about the sore back. He's using new muscles, operating in a different way & adjusting to a new way of life. Just do the best you can with the saddle fit , nothing's going to fit brilliantly at this stage and nothing will for a good 6...

    Goresbridge Go for Gold Sale - Advice

    Interesting-I have also heard similar about one of those big Irish dealers mentioned. They are famous for it. I think the biggest problem is X ray switching, that's their favourite thing to do! But Regarding just basic 5 stage vettings, any horse can fail and be deemed useless by one vet & then...

    Quite Easy - Landor S - Stalypso

    I think Quite Easy is fabulous & would produce super eventing types, the only thing is his short thick neck which all his offspring seem to inherit ( & their offspring as well)

    Eventers - thoughts

    What about taking some video of him doing some BSJA foxhunter & schooling over B.E Intermediate XC fences? & put both videos on the advert- to give people the confidence that he can do Intermediate / * .

    Eventers - thoughts

    I think to advertise a horse saying it has limited ability& won't do any better, and then to put a big price tag on it - that really is not going to attract any decent buyers or riders!! At the end of the day your opinion of the horse is only yours/ the riders opinion, just because you all...

    Dressage saddle for people with short legs?

    You need to talk to Amerigo saddles. They have different models for different horse shapes/ withers. Send a pic of your horses back & they will advise you on what model will fit them & they are reasonably easy to source second hand ( look on ebay & preloved website) The amerigo dressage saddles...

    How to price a 3 year old? Not an advert

    But what breeding? We still don't know exactly the names of the sire and dam- sire Sire could be 6 years old and by Totilas or something!!
