I did, I thought that was the answer.. it doesn't look like it touches the spots that are rubbing...strange..

I thought about the browband so I've put a bigger one on...I could make it tighter on the top strap, so that it pulls it off the ears but I don't know whether its OK to have it tight around her jaw? The leather is rubbish, you are right...I could get some fluff but i don't really want to go...

So annoying. Anyone else had this issue? He recently had his bit changed to a universal, could the poll pressure be doing it? Thanks

My horse was seriously scared of jumping in the beginning. She was scared of the gap under the poles, the poles being underneath her, and then when she got used to all of that she was scared of fillers. However, now, she isn't scared and she jumps everything. Get a trainer. Perseverance...

Are they allowed? I know you're allowed a hackamore, but I wondered about the Micklem or Dr Cook? Thanks

Hmmmm it seems like A LOT of people are still turning out. I thought it was just in the South East, but now when I'm driving about I spot every single horse in the field (as you do) and think 'They're out!!) What do people think of full livery yards? Do they usually have all year turnout?

Wow your fields are fantastic! Which area are you in?

This looks ideal! I worry about them being bored without a field to mooch about in, having said that they look quite happy in the school today. I wish they could speak, then I could just ask where they would prefer to be! 😜

Love the crazy horse picture! Can I ask what areas you are all from? The advantage is that I also have sole use of the sand school so I leave a course I jumps and poles out most the time. It sounds petty but if I move and have to put jumps away each time a jump or do pole work it adds a lot...

Having been told at the start of the year we could turn out all winter 8-5, the farmer who owns our two stables and fields has gradually got us down to just two days a week! He is then surprised when the gallop around on those two days! ANYWAY I was thinking of moving to another yard for next...

Yay! This is exactly the sort of thing I want to set up. It sounds like it works really well too!

Ah ok, that's actually a really good way of doing it! Guess ill just talk to her. Lizzie do you compete a bit yourself too?

Thanks Gunnergundog. Yeah I clearly wasn't referring to my own horse, I was just interested in what riders and owners actually do at top level. I just want my rider to build up my mare's experience and keep her ticking over so I definatey don't want her blasted around. Does anyone else use a...

So how to the top riders run it with their owners? When they are competing for £250,000, how do they owners make any money if the rider keeps the winnings?

Ah ok. Yeah I imagined I would need to have a chat with her but I wanted to get and idea of what was reasonable. I will pay entry, and transport my mare there and back and pay the riding fee?
