On my phone so can't edit. The pain problems comment makes no sense on my first post as re-reading it he does it like mine- totally at random with no cause!

Luckily I didn't have to worry about potential rearing but I'm sure you have ruled out any potential pain problems. What I did with mine was turn him around when he started reversing and get him to rein back past the point he started to try and go backwards at... If that makes sense at all.

I've used it on mine before now. It was after he'd been in for 2 weeks with the snow and I was a little apprehensive about what he would do when being put out (the snow was still there too and I didn't want him going mental and running through the electric fence due to not seeing it!). I gave...

My fluffy wee beastie has got a rainsheet on today. I'm regretting that now though. I wasn't sure if he was in or out tonight so I just chucked that on him. As it is he's in, so he could have just gone nekkid, rolled and let the mud do the rugs work!

Another one here for the liveryman harmony . I've got a fluffy cob- and they've managed to do a full clip on him before now . They also did a full clip on a T/B with no trouble. When I got them a few years ago I think they were about £150 or so- 2 sets of blades and they're cordless.

Mine came running joyously over to me the other day. It was lovely- like something from a soppy horse film. Then I remembered I had a haynet in my hand.

Thanks very much you three- appreciate it

Just out of interest. At the moment am semi-seriously considering moving over to somewhere in South Wales from North Somerset (most likely somewhere in Glamorgan, did consider Newport as well... basically anywhere there's work as well as a place to keep the ned would be ideal... any ideas?!)...

Many people have said my horse is a big pooper lol. I've never done maths like that . But thinking about it, when he was in his stable 24/7 it was about 7 or 8 poo's at night and 3 or 4 during the day.

Mine was spooking like mad yesterday. I think in part he was trying it on to see if I would just give up and go back (he was doing a very nice half pass down a track at one point!). We were going down one track and there was nothing there, I think it was just a tiny purple flower and it took a...

COST PER WEEK- £15 (although for the rest of the yard it's £20, I have the tack room stairs taking up a tiny section of the stable) WHAT SERVICE YOU GET- It's D.I.Y so, a decent size stable and field, as well as a grass arena type thing. WHERE IS IT- North Somerset.

It's his birthday- so I was saying something along the lines of "You're 17 now, that's roughly 51 in human years. You're old buddy!!" I did this whilst taking him to the field... his response?? To buck in front of me and gallop off up the field .

I have been where you are, I'm not sure why you're in your situation. For me it was a fall that just shattered my confidence. For me, I wanted to ride again- which I think is important. So really, it was just a case of getting on and getting on with it. Step at a time and when you feel...

He has got a serious ginger attitude problem- he always thinks he knows best in nearly every situation. If I try to tell him otherwise (take jumping for example), he will usually let me know I am wrong by having a tantrum. Whether I stay on or not is optional in his eyes. He also seems to think...

Cinnamon- I do like it . It really suits him!
