I cant give you any answers to the problem, only tell you about my experience of owning a headshaker. I always ride in a nosenet although some days he will not headshake at all. I find that it usually starts after about fifteen and twenty minutes of riding when he starts warming up. Although...

You are not on your own. I do ride a t.b on my own and when I do come across other riders am told to go the other way! Shame as its nice to have some company sometimes and my horse likes it too but other riders seem to think it will be a problem, poor horse is developing a complex and he is so...

I also moved from a lovely yard to field and shelter to save money. its hard in the winter but my horse is chilled I spend loads more time with him and its only ten mins down the road. I school in the field when the ground is okay but its amazing what schooling you can do out hacking. good...

yeh same here funny enough. :rolleyes:

I have recently, fortnight ago, started my ex racer, 13 year old t.b on a joint supplement and have noticed that he has had a funny action in his rear hind fetlock with swelling, reduces with bandaging and is better on the hard ground in walk only at the mo. has anyone else experienced...

my t.b has done it most of his life and always will. an ex racer and now nearly fourteen. he has arthritic hocks which obviously causes weakness in the back etc ultimately as he has to compensate through his body. I have him on cortaflex all year round and try and give him plently of...

You know he is only doing this because its the only thing he has now to still try and control you. please do not give into such abuse. let him call the police, or better still you call them and tell them of your ex threats and abusive behaviour. you have found the courage to get this far so...

My poor boy has always been a seasonal headshaker which has been managed with nose nets well so far. however he has started to headshake violently recently after about half an hour or more excercise. he was so bad on the way home today that he nearly fell over and at one point i thought he was...

I had a tb that had really bad feet, the farrier tried all kinds of remedial shoeing which worked for short periods. anyway foot pain resulted in back pain as he was compensating through his neck and back to make himself comfortable, would get physio out and have his back done every six months...

amazing animals, beautiful.

As my horse will confirm, and he is not a youngster, there is only one cure for naughty equines and that is work, work and more work! good for you for wanting to get a hold of him now. good luck.

I dont know what area you are in, but you could ask in local library, college, art gallery etc. or put an add in your local post office, shop for any local artists that could oblige. does the person you booked in the first place not know of anyone within her line of work?

haha, i keep eyeing up the local golf courses. they look good for a jolly round. :)

How horrid, you must have been really freaked. he should have just accepted your appology and left it at that, there was no need to do what he did. obvioulsy you will have to deal with it now but stick up for yourself. I got caught out once but the man just accepted my appology and i left...

I know it probably wasnt at the time but this is so funny! I shall try it on my horse when i go in a bit. lol
