Chester Draws!!!

Totally! Luckily the 3y/I dressage prospect hasn't followed and touch wood the increased height has done the trick.

My 17 year old randomly started doubt this a fortnight ago!!! I've increased the height of our fence with electric standoffs

Next week isn't looking too bad! I'm considering doing some weed spraying as they are all popping up!!!

Have you looked at Childeric? They do a Young Horse promise so, whilst an expensive option, all adjustments until 7 are included and good deal should you wish to swap!

Thanks guys... I think something has to change, I'm not sure the weather is having as significant impact as to the family issues so a move with the horses may be useful, if I decide to keep going, even with one of them.
