Maybe get him to ride with a whip across both hands so they stay together. Carrying a tea tray is a useful visualisation.

I found I had to use a lot of the conductive gel on my Welsh cob’s legs because of the thickness of the hair. Worked well when he had laminitis. Also used it on myself and really did speed up healing. I actually have one for sale.

knights of middle England based in Warwick so archery, trick riding, jousting etc

Some super ideas. Thank you.

Could I pick the forum brains please for fun activities for a riding club camp I am organising for next year. Apart from the usual flat/poles/sj/XC lessons is there anything fun / unusual / interesting that you have experienced at a camp? TIA

"I almost thing the more we know the less sure of our competence we get" This absolutely. Had some lessons on a schoolmaster recently and found out I don't actually know how to ride at all!:confused:

Padded knickers. I think Equitech do them.

I use the neck strap from an old martingale.

My horse is the same. Bombproof with all traffic except tractors. In the past i have tried walking around stationary tractors with carrots balanced on them, among other things but nothing really worked so I just accepted it.

I left the dressage one because it seemed to be made up of really good riders who had bought horses with problems for next to nothing and trained to PSG in next to no time. Made me feel completely inadequate!?

You could join a riding club, do the non-riding activities, volunteer at events, and just generally hang out with horsey people!
