    Does this sound hormonal behaviour?

    Another one here whose mare needs regumate through the summer. Sudden onset of symptoms including putting her back up when ridden, striking out, generally angry and uncomfortable to be groomed,etc etc. Regumate=happy Lula. :)

    today i made that call we dread

    Not pointless at all. You love your beastie and it's what we all hate the thought of but know we must do when the time comes. Much love. X

    Rider nerves- any tips?

    Thank you all for your words of encouragement. I end up hating myself and thinking that I don't deserve to be riding my horse- she's five and shows great promise when I ride her properly. Spoke to a friend last night who admitted to taking a glut of port before a test so may give that a go!:D

    Rider nerves- any tips?

    As title, really. In lessons and at home I ride well and my horse goes brilliantly. On Saturday I rode the test and actually rode it, so she was great (and I'm only talking Prelim). On Sunday in the warm up she was great so clearly I rode ok. As soon as I got into the ring I was obsessed with...

    Sore back when Mare in Season

    Mine is on Regumate for the whole summer as she was last year. She gets v sore ovaries which presents as sore back. The vet said the ligaments also run close to the kidneys so potentially pain there too. Hope you get it sorted and good luck at the weekend!

    So who has had a fear of jumping?

    A gap of twenty years and then riding my newly backed youngster= brown trousers style fear about jumping!! Got myself a great instructor who really understands me and the baby horse. Initially it was tiny jumps, her words- "It's not jumping, Rachel, it's flat work with bumps!" and "Will you get...

    Horse buying... how / when did you know you were bringing that one home?

    Was riding past local stud and saw the most beautiful coloured newby filly foal- never been a big fan of coloureds but went home and told hubby I'd just seen my future horse! Five years on and we've been on the most amazing (and expensive and frustrating) journey together. She's the best and I'm...

    What should I do?!

    Do you have a friend who could do what the professional did? If I had been the only one involved in loading training there's no way Lula would load now. I needed someone to tell me to ****** off and stop fussing when she danced around. SSSOOOO hard!!! However, now I have a horse I can load alone...
