an instructor once said to me the only way to improve the canter is to canter, do more and more canter work. obviously that doesn’t just mean tearing about the place. do a zillion transitions (walk trot) and work on adjustability as you say. canter poles too and also raised poles. i...

seen some people have little one in carriers when they bring horses in but i do think thats dangerous far better to park your car in sight of the field and leave them safely strapped in the carseat for the few minutes it takes to bring in

I’m in need of a couple of new warm tops now the cold weather is here. I dont like bulky, prefer the technical fabric style that you can layer if necessary. Problem is finding things that are hard wearing nowadays! I have an ariat one that hasn’t last 5 minutes before going all bobbly.

look for a lovely little cross breed from a rescue :)
