Will do thankyou!

Hi just wanting info on the above. It's something a friend of mine is looking into but not sure where to start. Basically it could potentially be the only way that she can afford to keep her ride. They've just done Winter Championships and are currently competing at Elementary. If anyone has...

Hi thanks for reply! I was thinking to send him to Jason Webb for a couple of weeks as we spent a day there which was really good. He lives out in Summer but is in at night now but it doesn't seem to have any effect on his behavior either way. He's still out for about 10 hrs a day. I've tried...

Hi All, Opinions please (but please try not to tear me to pieces - thanks in advance!) I have a 10 year old ex-pointer who I've had for 16 months. He has come on loads in terms of schooling and all-round ability but I just can't chill him out. He is so wired that sometimes he has panic...

My ex racer was described as cold backed when I bought him, and a year on I now know 2 things - that he was never trained to stand (as is normal), his jockey would just jump on right from when he was 1st broken and, also, that he has always suffered from panic attacks (I only recently managed to...

My 10 year old was born Bay and his passport's not been updated yet. He has a full white blaze up his face if you look closely! He too is flea bitten and I hope he's going to stay flea bitten and not go white!

Good idea Footlights - I am going to ask the YO if it would be possible. Beastie - that's exactly what I don't want to be at shows lol! We're going to do a bit of inhand on grass for now, it might help! Trot-On - leg yielding was exactly what I was trying on Sat so he just bronked sideways and...

Hi thanks - I've had him for about 11 months but issue only came to light when we moved yards as the old yd was all woods but new yard is orchards and fields. He last raced in 2009 so it's been a while but still fresh in his mind obviously!:p

Hi All, Please could I get some opinions on the above? I have a 9yr old ex pointer who's coming good in most ways but, for obvious reasons, he gets totally over excited on grass. Sometimes he's not too bad but he can get very dangerous and will bronk or rear if not allowed to run. If allowed...

By Pit Bull type do you mean staffies? It is very difficult to tell the difference between a Staff and a Pit, the authorities use a 54 point test (sorry I could be incorrect on exact number) to decide whether a dog is a Pit, so I find it hard to believe that you can tell when you're walking...

I have only just managed to pull off trot with no stirrups with some sort of success! All the things that people have said about position are vital, but, what also really helped me was getting my horse down to a steady, calm trot in the first place. I think that you need to work on getting the...

Thank you, I'll give it a try.

Hi thanks, I'd seen the RP info but was after a bit more detail if anyone has any. Thanks for your help:)

Hi All, Just wondered if anyone has ever heard of an ex-Pointer called Sidalba? He's a 10 year old grey, although he was born bay and is bay on Passport. I'd just like to find out anything about his racing days and why he came out. Thanks in advance.:)

Thanks both, I heard that you have to be careful of soft patches in the sand at Camber, whereas Sandwich is safer, not sure if that's correct.
