    Final? update on anorexic horse.

    I thought my mare was a nightmare until I read this!! She almost seems quite normal now. lol Though I've found she will eat pretty much anything if it has oestress added to it (it smells vile). It's really a win win as she eats her food and isn't so much of a tart! lol Well done for...

    Would this be absolutely mental if me?

    So it happened.....

    Funnily enough she was quite ok to stand there and watch everything going on (with a very high heart rate) it was when I asked her to start warming up that she lost it rearing and spinning until I hit the deck and then stood there looking at me in amazement that she'd finally managed to get me off!

    So it happened.....

    TBF I don't think she was being naughty she was genuinely scared and freaked out by the whole situation. I've taken her to smaller dressage events previously and she was fine, I think it was the atmosphere and SO many horses, people and the tannoys etc. I will be taking her to a slightly...

    So it happened.....

    Yesterday took my mare to her first "big show" on grass, she had a complete melt down and threw me off in the warm up area. (embarrassed) The whole thing was just too much for her, didn't even make it into my class as got back on and she was still freaked by it all. I plan to take her to...
