I didn't set any last year but Jack completed his season with zero jumping penalties. Now to try and attempt a sub 30 dressage :cool: My only goal for 2026 is to keep having a happy, healthy horse who loves his job. He is 21 this year and has come back from his Christmas holiday with his usual...

38.5 dressage (the less said about this the better!) and a double clear for Jack! A few speeding penalties xc as we motored on a bit too much. It didn't feel ridiculously fast but I've been hunting and riding out all winter and he is a big horse😅 Overall absolutely thrilled with him and one of...

We are off to Hazelton CC tomorrow to do the 90!! First event with Jack but he very much knows his job so fingers crossed😊 It's only down the road for us so an ideal first event, just hoping the rain last night/today has taken the edge off the ground as it was on the solid side.

Who's everyone rooting for in the Queen Mother Champion Chase? I want Envoi Allen or Put The Kettle On to win

L'Homme Presse was very smart

When I can spend £80 on a PC/RC membership, get regular training, compete up to BE novice, medium/elem dressage and newcomers SJ (well the equivalents anyway) plus excellent championship opportunities and leagues then you look at the cost of BE then the appeal of going affiliated very quickly...

I suspect the rearing was more to do with the KS than the head shaking, it was just unfortunate that both things became an issue at the same time. Fingers crossed the PENS therapy works for yours!!

Mine was also rearing under saddle and determined to remove his rider. We started investigating the head shaking as that was a very new behaviour (he had always been sharp/reactive) then had his back x-rayed one day when gabapentin was only improving his field behaviour not under saddle and...

I had one who had this, was unrideable from March onwards and was only happy in the field when wearing a mask and on 20 something gabapentin a day. We were considering PTS then discovered he also had kissing spines so that was that. He was 12 and had showed no symptoms until that year.

Firstly, welcome to Pasty Land!!! I'm basically the opposite end of Cornwall from you but we go all over the place! I was part of Cornwall TREC riding club and loved it, everyone was so friendly and inclusive and I ended up doing teams and things too. Most clubs use the same venues I've found...

If its red, leave it in the shed and if its blue it just won't do. Nothing runs like a deere;)

For me it's got to be part TB at least if not full. And ideally if it's part then the rest is ID/connie/NF but I don't mind a bit of warmblood or a good PBA??

She's gorgeous?? happy birthday mimosa

Good luck for today xx

I've had 2 in a row now (and 2 part bred ones). I love them, they are far more intelligent than most of the WBs I've ridden. Both of mine went into training but never raced. They have their quirks. My current one is a stressy ulcer type but I manage it and it doesn't cause a problem. He's far...
