Mrs M..my mare did this too, would go about with head in the air and as you know I have tried many bits! What has worked for me has been changing the bit to a Sprenger Dynamic RS which is really helping her, she is fussy in the mouth, thick tongue and fleshy lips, also using my massage pad...

Mine is livery yard experts who complain to YO cos you bought something new then proceed to give you the cold shoulder! LOL

Thank you everyone for your replies.

Thanks Kerilli, I appreciate and agree with what you are saying and that is one of my worries...I do have a Dually which small jockey has ridden her in and although pony was a bit strong she really respected the nose pressure which makes me think of going bitless, I am sort of running out of...

Hi Mrs M...she used to be ridden in a grackle but she has issues with her teeth and I have to get her done 3 monthly so vet doesnt want a grackle if I can avoid it...there is a long story of neglect with this wee pony and its taken 2 years so far of love and tlc and she is 100% better but I...

Lol! i am not sure who is offering what! My mare has a ruined mouth (not by me!) she has bone spurs ( inactive at the mo) and i have tried everything, copper roller, pelham, hanging snaffle and she is currently in the Myler 32 which she seems to like but when you ask for a transition of any...

I want to try a bitless bridle on my horse as I think this would end all our problems of her going above the bit. Where is a good place to buy? I have just had a horrendous experience from a UK bitless bridle place and ended up cancelling my order. Thank you

I have a Cheval Liberte and I love it, its the pullman gold one and I love towing it compared to an Ifor...

Hi everyone, I dont post much, more of a lurker! I wanted to find out if there are any good dressage intructors in Central Scotland who would come to your yard and were capable of training to the more advanced levels? many thanks

Thats great news for me too....I have been looking at investing in a pair of cordless as I have a fjord who gets very hairy this time of year and I find my heavy duty mains ones to be just too heavy to do a full clip, by the time I am half way around my arms ache!

Hi, I make silk stocks and both my daughter and myself compete in them. We have all colours from white to black, blue, pink and green! We both have a black one but it is jazzed up with crystals and looks quite pretty when its on. When my daughter is competing affiliated though, she keeps to...

I buy mine of ebay, £60 for 20 but I would love to make my own to cut costs, however, I have been unable to find a supplier of leather that I could rivet myself.

I clip my papillion's nails regularly as they are white, but on the two rotties I use a dremel as I HATE clipping black nails. My male comes and presents his paws when he sees the dremel come out, but my wee girl is usually a tad more difficult to do. I rate the dremel very highly.

Good day....... after being a lurker for some time, I decided to join and introduce myself! I used to ride years ago and had a horrible accident that resulted in me having nothing to do with horses untill about a year ago. I went to a riding school and got my confidence back and then started...
