Hi, A group of us are going to be taking our horses down to Ogmore beach soon -hopefully. Are we able to take our own horses down?! For once Google is useless! Also where is the best place to park with horse boxes? Thanks in advance!

Try getting saddler back out again, and also get a person that specilises in backs. Also try getting some body else to ride him, somebody more experianced perhaps? Or get some one to lune you whilst you ride. Just some suggestions :) hope you get it sorted

Try walking out in hand with him :) first few times just in a head collar or bridle, then when happy, try with tack on, again when happy try getting on fw minutes from home and gradually increase :) ensure you never let him be in control. You must always be incontrol! Try this in company and...

Bandages, First aid kit Spare leatherwork I.e reins, nose bands, head piece, cheek piece etc Lots of leadropes Spare rugs Etc :) lots of spares! You never know when they will come in handy

I alao had this, first try putting your outside leg back further to ensurebthey are not getting confuaed with 'go faster' and also if you are in an school on the short side ask for canter at A or C as the corner can get slightly confusing - found this with my ID x TB - if they get the correct...

Agree totally with the first post :) Riding schools are brilliant with beginners, ensurebyou get a total plod that has been there an got the T-shirt Watch some of the riders on the telly aswell :) whist recovering from aches and pains ;) you will find you can learn loads from just watching...

Hi, just as a suggestion try jumping one jump and bring him to a complete stop. Then same again to the next fence. Once this is controlled -easier said than done, I know! I had one like this.. - then try a double and stop after it. Then very slowly begin tobstring fences together, this will...

No havnt changed feed at all, been the same for 11 years.. Will do that if backlady comes back with nothing. Thanks

Thank you, i've had saddle checked very recently. I dont think it could be pollen related as he only got this a month or so ago and not much pollen about. He is kept out 24/7 no access to bedding at all with very good quality hay. Thank you for this will keep experimenting and see if i can get...

Hi guys, i have a ID x TB rig who is 16 now but still thinks he's 6, we are currently re-schooling due to being used for Horseball for many years (he now does novice show jumping due to being a total scardeycat!). Now the problem is that recently (month or two) he has been shaking his head up...

Thanks, didnt think of that. My instrustor doesnt ride him but i can get my mum to, and he seems to listen to her more. However she is heavier and has a stronger leg (i had a accident with my knee) I had a saddler and a back lady come out (cant remember he name) and both said nothing is...

Hi, i am re-schooling my ID x TB. Bit of background.. Kerry was broken as a 5 year old, but only ridden half a dozen times due to being too green for the rider. My mum bought him and got him riding nicely, she used Kerry for horseball and happy hacking. He never really got properly schooled...

Hiya, Im pretty broken too! I am supposed to have both of my knees replaced!! both from riding accidents -_- Anyways, i had some lessons whilst recovering i found it hard with stirrups. My instructor said to keep stretching my leg and seat muscles which helped sitting deeper in the saddle. The...

We have tried three different girths, and a different saddle but she continues to do it... i always make sure she has a good groom before and after i have ridden especially around the girth area.

Hi, I have a 3 1/2 year old Dutch Warmblood X Irish draught that we have started to back. We have been riding her now for about 4 months. We have backed her early due to her intelligence and she is getting into mischief as she is bored. We are not doing a lot with her, only being ridden about...
