Thanks CastleMouse but I've tried that, she gets all excited about the fact that she's following someone and rushes and still falls up it! Shes just a very long legged TB who never really knows where all 4 legs are at any given time. I may be being a bit harsh on her, the last 2 weve done...

She seems worse if theres a jump to focus on- is that wierd!? We only fell at MK cos she was focusing on that otter they've got 1 stride after the step I think. Good idea about the leading though, and from a lunge rein- will stop me from making the situation worse. Am almost resigned to having...

She still does it though, trouble is everythings much bigger!

Is anyone else filled with dread at the thought of steps out of water? My mare and I will be competing at BE Novice this year. She seems to have a real problem with steps, but only out of water. Normal steps up, sunken roads she's fine with. We had a few hairy moments last season including a...

Have done 2 guided course walks with her at Nurstead Court and Borde Hill and thought she was great, have always heard good things about her. She seems to have a 'just get on with it attitude' !

Youre right there eventersrus, doesnt stop me feeling absolutely petrified for about week before we run though...!

Thanks everyone!

I'm fairly new and would love to come. Live in SW London but keep horse and work in West Kent!

My 16 yr old mare has a bit of stiffness/ possible arthritis in her hock. She is a bit stiff on when she comes out of he stable and at the beginning of a schooling session. She does loosen up and using it better after about 20 minutes but can anyone give me any recommendations on a supplement to...

My poor credit card. It has just taken a hammering- Badminton season ticket and BE reg all in one go! Why is everything to do with horses so bloody expensive!? Really excited now though. Have only competed on day tickets before so whats the betting horsey goes lame tomorrow now I've shelled out...

My mare had a fractured pedal bone in 2001. She had 6 months box rest and was brouht slowly back into work (2 months walking etc etc) and was back eventing the next year (she came off box rest in the August). Also, in the autumn of 2006, she got kicked in the field and had a hairline fracture to...

Yep, I think that's Moat View. They all looked great but I'm surprised, I thought the New Forest Ponies would win judging from the Addington perormance

It's all very well saying owners are selfish and vain if they hose legs but thats just not fair or true IMO. My horses legs are hosed everyday when she comes in, all trace of mud removed. Mud fever loves wet conditions so I can see no reason why you would leave your horse with legs covered in...

Anyone know who won the Quadrille this morning?

Sally2008- youve hit the nail on the head IMO!
