Thanks Ester :) Ahhh re photos, only thing is I'm on an iPad so I can't right click! I've changed the setting of the album, maybe you could do that one too (pretty please)? :)

A Ahhh but remember, you don't have to - we didn't pay 55k for him - in fact we didn't pay 5k for him :D And hi Chiffy*waves*

Lol, I never come in here but somebody messaged me! Hope all is well x

*saunters in, alerted to this thread by a FB friend* Hi folks, long time no see! Just had to comment as this is a pony I imported from Ireland, straight out of a field in Galway having done some hunting, we produced him from BE90 to CIC* in one season as he was so bold and such a jumping...

Agree with this, but it could of course also be crookedness in the rider ;) Quite a few instances I have experienced of clients with this difficulty is that they are sliding to the outside as they ask for canter - and of course, the horse will always follow the rider's weight... The difficulty...

I hardly ever come on here anymore but happened to drop in, and I can't tell you how happy I am to read this! Everything xd that he continues to go from strength to strength, he certainly looks as though he feels well again 😊😊😊

Double posted :p

I don't find I ever need to go higher than 90cm-1m for bounces: you can increase the degree of difficulty/athleticism required by increasing the number (we go up to five) and/or messing with the distances. This is for Intermediate/Advanced event horses.

So glad I saw this as I hardly ever come on here anymore (must be November!) - saw te photos on FB but wasn't sure you'd won, biggest congatulations, all the hard work is paying off! I have always felt that Fig had everything it takes, nice to see I was right ;) :D

It is impossible to price horses on paper really, you have to look at the inidividual. A friend of mine has just sold a 6yo for 100k, on paper he probably looks much the same as horses advertised for 25k. A horse is worth what someone will pay for it - cliche I know, but happens to be true ;)

Lots of good advice already, which you've picked up on. The only thing I would add is that I don't think your choice is to sell now or keep till next season and try Int, I think readvertising in February (ish, basically at the first sign of approaching spring 2015!) as fit and aring to go would...

Lovely update, so glad to see it is all going so well, and well done on finishing your degree :)

You're welcome :) But just noticed another thing above: just to be clear, if you were to have a second stop at the same combination (God forbid!) it is actually 40 penalties for the second stop, so 60 in total - worth avoiding if you can help it ;)

Good advice :)
