Thanks for replies 😊 I never originally used side reins until he started turning in, they arnt on tight, it's more so he couldn't turn in as much but thanks for advice

Hi guys! I have a 4 year old traditional who lunges perfect on the left rein, as soon as I put him on the right rein he walks or trots a few strides then turns in & plays up, I lunge in his bridle, roller & side reins! I need help to overcome it! Anyone have any ideas? X

thanks everyone :)

ah, fab! how often do you put shavings in? & new pellets in? do you put dry pellets in or soak them? my wet gelding bed walks so they will probs mix a little from that, but ill just put shaving on the top then :) thanks for replies so soon.

Hi fellow H&H's; just recently ive changed my horses bedding from straw to wood pellets, reason being I needed something a bit less maintenance due to working hours & early mornings; so far I love them, however ... I liked straw for the big cosy look, wood pellets just don't look cosy, as...

hi guys, im after some help/options .. i have a red & white traditional called Red who needs a suitable/cute show name .. i would prefer it to have his stable name in it but will consider without if its a nice name :) i also have a tri coloured traditional x clydesdale called Fergie who also...

Hey, its a normal stream.. not really smelly either so the wee its self is normal.

Hi, Fellow horse & hounders :) just a quick question as I'm starting to worry, I bought a 2yo traditional cob just over a month ago who seems to urinate a hell of a lot, he lives out 24/7 but comes in from 4 till 6 ish for some love & attention :) out in the field i cant tell how much he...

i'm afraid i dont £1000 to spare to have fencing done my self, thats for the YO to sort whos away for a couple of weeks at the moment, it is on the top of the list of things to do though :)

well yeah i suppose :) rubber water bucket, hay on floor instead of haynet & stable bankings :) i suppose thats all i can do, i have a treat ball so i could put that in too :) thank you

yea, the ground is really hard! i think im just going to have to leave him to settle, perhaps not ride over the weekend, bring my 2 in.. brush my 4 year old then put him back out & leave youngster.. at least then im only 2 minutes away if anything was to happen :)

ive not thought about that.. that could be a good idea but id have no where to put it, the walls are pretty low, the only high wall is at the back of the stable.. will that still work? i think if i stopped panicing id be able to leave him out, i suppose i can always ask partner to keep an eye on...

its not really a case of i cant.. i think its more that i had to have my previous 2 year old put to sleep from going over the field banking which is now more secure but with only electric fencing so i think if he was to bomb up & down to let off some steam id be afraid of him doing the same xx

its safe as far as.. i took his hay net out & put hay on the floor so he cant get his feet in hay net, ruber water bucket in far corner, doors securly fastened.. i worry about him getting his legs stuck over the door though, is that possible?xx

thats true, is it just a case of leaving him to get on with it? do you think he could damage himself? xx
