I dont know your view but maybe try hunting or XC. Often helps them get into a foreward "jump whatever" attitude, makes it a bit more fun. It's so easy to just say beat it until it jumps, but if she not happy jumping then its not nice and she will loose trust in you. However you do have to be...

I am at Hartpury in Glos, and there a few based here, maybe they would travel. Jo winfield, she has fellowship BHS, competes herself BSJA, is a high level BD judge and knows her stuff on eventing. Also Corrine Bracken teaches the showjumpers and eventers on the hartpury academy, i know she has a...

I agree, its like saying we should make seperate classes for the professionals because all their 5yo's doing BE100 were at least £15k and they are paid £500 to compete it and do the best on it. (I know they are thinking of doing this (grrr)). Only the minority of teenages have no appreciation...

Yogi!!!! had him with ponies, he was amazing, as was Jonquil Hemming. My ultlimate dream lessong would prob be on the flat with Ruth Edge, dont know what her teaching is like, but if she could teach me to ride like her, that'd be fab! :D And now reading this thread im keen on having a Mark...

My horse has just started to grind her teeth when being ridden on the flat. I broke her in august and she has always been in a happy mouth snaffle and happy. Recently i have been asking a bit more of her when schooling and she started to grind. The last few sessions i have gone back a step and...

Hi, iv had alot of experience with tying up, my mare has had syptoms from extreme to very mild, practically unnoticable. This does sound like a strange tying up, but all horses have varying ways of whowing it. My mare does scrape her front feet, but the key thing she does everytime and most...

i know its fairly rare, but believe me my horse is about as rare as they get! She has had this cauliflower growth type thing come up in her front foot for a while, when ever it gets wet. In the summer when it came the vet cut it back and said it was a lump of proud flesh grown from an old...

Hi i doubt it will be strangles, with the long term weight loss. the other symptoms, snot cough etc will happen pretty quick. Also horses riding passed wont pass it on, has to be contact. (you will see many vets go from infected yard to uninfected yard, with same car just wash hands and remove...

:D thats great, thanks!

Iv had my horse since feb 09. She came from a dressage home and i staed eventing her. She was doing fab, was fit as a grey hound and jumping like a stag! she tied up at the end of august and her bloods took 4 months to go back to normal (usually takes 1 month wen bad). So she had a muscle biopsy...

Hi everyone, im doing an assignment on how different bits and bitting regimes effect how the horse performs. was just wondering what evryone thought of the definition of "acceptance of the bit/bridle" and riding forward to a contact?? So hard to put in words cu to me i can feel it, but not easy...

Hi im trying to write an assignment on weighted boots. Im struggling to find the rules. I think i have found them now in BSJA, FEI, IS, and BE. but i wondered if anyone knows what the 500g rule was introduced in BSJA/IS/FEI showjumping? im pretty sure it was 2008 for BE. Any information around...
