Yes, thanks both of you! To be honest if the foal can canter normally I'll be happy :P

I have a sixteen one french trotter mare who I have been looking to breed for quite some time now. I saw Floriscount and although he does not have enormous floating paces like some of the other stallions I've looked at, I really liked the look of him. Firstly a bit about the mare: She is a...

Hey, thanks to those of you who replied and just wanted to say that we ended up getting an Albion SLK, which I feel a lot more secure in and later found the Optimax was rubbing around the left of the cantle.

Hey guys, so I have a 16.1 french trotter mare on loan who has a pretty awful top line. There are hollows on either side of her shoulders (this could partly be down to an ill fitting saddle-which we have now changed) and the vertebrae of her spine are visible instead of the muscles being...

And the one thing I really didn't like that I heard about the Prestige Optimax, was that it did really badly on the pliance pressure testing? And that it also had really course polyester fibre which isn't ideal for me, as I tend to bounce around a bit in the trot because I'm still the process of...

Oh and sorry about the essay:p

Before everyone starts lecturing me on how "One should only breed a horse with superb natural ability and only the best conformation." I would like to give my scenario. The mare I am breeding is by no means a champion. She is nicely built, croup high maybe but other than that, well put together...

do any of you know of an actual livery yard near elstree, bushey?

Thank you all for the advice, Joeanne, the answer to all is no. Her conformation is decent. She is slightly nervous but only with people she doesn't know. She is a french trotter who was used on the track and she is still in the process of being re-schooled and has come on incredibly considering...

Hey, So I have a horse on loan that can be slightly nervous and the owner and I have been considering putting her in foal, this is a first time for both of us and any opinions on AI in comparison to natural breeding would be greatly appreciated! And any tips for the pregnancy and foal care...

I am think of buying a dressage saddle from all saddle solutions for my horse. I have seen so many positive reviews, but I was just wondering if anyone had any negative experiences with them? It just seems to good to be true :confused:
