    SES Equestrian - Help are they fake?!?

    Have order from SES Equestrian several times over the past couple of years - and each time without a problem. I think they have recently moved as the numbers on there are showing as old ones? I wouldn't worry though because as a buyer you are protected anyway by Paypal - just as with any...

    Advice needed for inconsistant mare!

    Sounds a bit like my mare - just been for a training session with prof show jumper and he says we need to do more on the flat to make the canter more balanced and in a rhythm - leg yield etc to make her respect and listen, alot stronger leg from the rider to assist the turns. As your mare is...

    BSJA Showjumping, Problems with 5yo - should I sell or persevere???

    I've made a decision - based on what people have said on here so a big thank you to everyone! I will persevere rather than sell her. I'm going to find someone to help our partnership rather than send her to someone to do it. She's fine with back/teeth/saddle etc because we have looked into this...

    BSJA Showjumping, Problems with 5yo - should I sell or persevere???

    Thank you everyone - I know Russ - he's a bit far from me though - wrong side of the Humber!! I had thought of trying Andrew Saywell as it's not that far from me. I really wanted to know what people thought/if they had experience with any of these trainers rather than just selecting a number...

    BSJA Showjumping, Problems with 5yo - should I sell or persevere???

    Thanks everyone - this is really helpful stuff and has made me see things a little more clearly. I have had sleepless nights about this since the weekend as daft as it sounds!!! Back and teeth are fine - I think time and patience may be the answer. But now for the million dollar question - where...

    BSJA Showjumping, Problems with 5yo - should I sell or persevere???

    I import warmbloods and have ridden and competed them for the last few years. I guess I just want this horse to go well, progress and for us to be happy with what we achieve. She's my own personal horse and I love everything about her except this erratic behaviour. I thin several things are a...

    BSJA Showjumping, Problems with 5yo - should I sell or persevere???

    My back ground - BHSII, jumped 1.30's (although a few years ago!!), have broken and produced horses of this type but can see where the thought is going. I think you are right - she seems confused. She went ok for the pro but he was incredibly harsh (cut her mouth stopping her spooking and trying...

    BSJA Showjumping, Problems with 5yo - should I sell or persevere???

    I have had her for a year now - but to be fair I didn't really start concentrating on her until spring this year. I really take on board the comment made here - valid point about selling her and losing money, also about getting advice from someone I trust. I have had a bit of help from 2...

    BSJA Showjumping, Problems with 5yo - should I sell or persevere???

    sometimes she is better at home - she still can be silly at home - racing at her fences, spooking at things etc. I vary her work to eliminate boredom as the reason. Last week she jumped out of the arena over a 1.30m fence after loose schooling up a small grid! She's quite a capable jumper! I've...

    BSJA Showjumping, Problems with 5yo - should I sell or persevere???

    I have a 5yo warmblood, jumped a few British Novices on her (never gone clear - either had 1 down or a stop). She is very forward going and quite sensitive. When I got her she liked to jump off a long stride and quite quickly. This is ok except occasionally when she's got a "stupid" head on, she...
