Lol... funny responses brill.... Yes he is going well in double and we shall do the county shows in it as quite a few pros shall also be there. As for riding one handed yes agree lots of that happening the now!!!!!!!! Witnessed a lot over last few weekends, one handed canter circles etc...

Hi Thanks jnb we are doing some county levels this year as last year went well locally. So wanted to know thoughts on snaffles, I can understand its tradition but just cant get my head around if he is light in the snaffle that should go for him rather than against. Not a fan of rugby...

OK so am trying to understand why its correct to wear a double bridle in the show ring, surely it should be on how the horse goes and one that can go lightly, submissive etc in a plain snaffle should not be penalised! Why do they say its correct to be shown in a double? Or as seen some in a...

Pics now included - any advise appreciated

Hi Quick question about the fitting of double bridle bits - they are not suppose to touch each other - or so I was lead to believe. However when fitting mines the middle part (bridoon lozenge ) I'm sure touches the weymouth, although this was at rest and with contact prob not! Did not have...

Hi - Wanted to know where I can get a decent double show bridle - plain hunter type with decent chunky noseband - 2" as my guy a big chap. Often they seem more aimed at dressage and wondered where you guys can recommend? cheers xx

Yes from 8 -2pm as I ensure my path to field has been cleared each day and gritted to stop ice forming. The yard dont turn out and TBH dont understand why half the time ! It was safe enough when we had snow - granted when it forms to ice its more challenging, but can walk on grass parts...

Not really funny etc but when went to see my boy they called him cloud, and so we stuck with cloudy as stable name and made his posh name MacLeod - which I add is my other halfs surname ( somehow it was meant to be and he sis certainly so special for me ) and also my daughters, who hates it as...

Hi All, Multiple posts at this time of year and how best to manege the dreaded mane rub from necks covers/combos. So interesting concept in the Passier Tetris system on their rugs that have padded areas on either side of withers to lift of the rug of the actual wither itself - its means to...
