Glad you enjoyed - sorry only just seen your reply! His style doesn’t suit everyone, he definitely said ‘that’s a¥$$€%#t do it again’ to me a few times 😂 I’ve only had the one lesson with him myself but would definitely have more (he’s just pricey for my training budget!) good luck with your...

I expect some people would describe him having a direct way of teaching but I find that much more constructive. He definitely works with the partnership you are and I felt progress after my lessons with him.

Average around 6 hours in winter out from 8:30 (they are fed and given morning hay beforehand) til 2:30ish (he’d happily do just 2 ?) and then summer can be anything from 12 hours to 24 depending on individual horse. Mine usually comes in during the day in summer around 8:30 and goes back out...

I’m not going to bother. Last year I did and it’s was a bit pointless and this year would be even moreso. It’s been relatively mild and his coat just hasn’t grown as much, he’s fit and not sweating when doing quite a bit (in work 5 days a week, mixture of schooling hacking and jumping). We did...

I used them for two winters. Initially liked them for ease of skipping out. Lifting the wet weekly was horrific on my back though and I found they left a constant film of dust on rugs etc and in manes/tails - I felt that this couldn’t be good to breath in all the time, it must sit in the air...

Most weeks I do see him daily and weekends it’s both days and often twice (I’m DIY at weekends) If I’m busy or away with work during the week and simply can’t, I don’t and don’t worry. The staff are there 9-5 and then other liveries are really good and check on them of an evening and then YO...

Unfortunately suspect they have other things at the moment to concern themselves (like their Christmas party shenanigans from last year!) but I’m hoping they don’t back track on this now!!

I feel like we were really thrown into winter over the weekend after a really dry and lovely autumn ? so that’s making it so much worse for me. As I peer from my home office window to see the rain pouring down today after the snow only just melting from the weekend I do feel a bit deflated...

Having had a look I think the issue is some MPs can’t understand how the impact assessment hasn’t been shared yet so the date has to be postponed. They also didn’t vote on it as it was 10pm when the issue was discussed in parliament ??‍♀️ so it’s being voted on next week (when I assume they will...

I don’t think it’s fussy so much as perfection, in everything in life, and yet we as humans are so imperfect. Kind of ironic that we expect everything else to be perfect when we aren’t ourselves ?

Does he have a weaker hind? My physio has suggested a sausage boot on the weaker hind before for mine. It has helped slightly but mine will always be close behind.

Thank you - it was 2013 I read which related to a slight difference (before this more recent change).

Believe you have to have passed between 1997 and 2003 ??‍♀️ but not sure if I’ve read that correctly.

Ad lib hay is the ideal for any horse IMO if the hold weight well and don’t pile it on just looking at food. I am generalising but IDs tend to be on the slow metabolism side and therefore usually quite good doers. My ID got too fat ad lib at 4yo when he was in not a lot of work and subsequently...

I didn’t know a 406 was an Ifor trailer? I’m sure singles are only 401 or 403.
