feel free to contact HayGain company and ask them...sure they will say the exact same thing as i have.

He sounds lovely. very similar to my mare. She is a skewbald 5 year old, very pretty and full of presents so going to try this as i think she may do well. Never know, may see you at HOYS! lol yes i think i may do. thanks for your help :)

yes mine is the same. i wont use any other bit apart from the one she has been in as she is such a sensitive mare. Where abouts are you looking at going for the qualifier? I am in the north west so will proabably go to the Blackburn one. Thats exactly my point, how are you expected to put on a...

I have a hay gain. they are fantastic and would highly recommend one. We got a bag with ours thats about the size of a bale. This takes about an hour but if you put it on before riding, this will be done by the time you come back. My horse loves the hay that comes out of it as its warm...

Mine is out the summer months and in during the winter which is a pain but the rules of the yard. I just keep ontop of her fitness and lunge her regularly as well as ride so she can kick her heels up if she needs to. She will go out as much as possible in the summer due to being in for 4...

Hope you got on ok :) My mare is exactly the same but doesnt go very forward in her sitting trot but listens to me so much better when i sit. Im at BD prelim level and i am going to start sitting trot once we are nice and forward

I am currently interested in taking part in the Search for a star qualifiers in April but have hardly any experience in the showing world. My mare has bags of potential in this field so i think she would do well. can someone give me some advice on bits that are permitted in showing as i have no...

thanks all for your replies. We recently bought a haygain and the reason she wasnt eating her hay was because she had gone off the taste of it. Becuase she wasnt eating, we were giving her handfuls of hayledge just to make sure she actually did eat something in the day. therefore, knowing...

I own an ID x Irsh sport horse Mare who is 5. ive had her 10 months now and everything has been going really well. Lately, she has dropped weight and isnt interested in her hay/hayleigh or her feeds. She isnt a greedy horse but has always eaten hayleigh or her feed. It ever since Winter...

Super Flex is fantastic. we bought my sport horse when he was 12 and ive only just recently retired him from artheritis at 17 and we gave him super flex for 5 years so its definatley did its job! Not the cheapest option as some people use cod liver oil. I would advise getting a liquid rather...

Ive had my mare for 6 months now and she is good in everyway. the only problem is when she is scared, she barges, causing injury to herself or me. We have wash boxes/Solarium on our yard (ties at both sides and very small space they stand in) so when we need to bath her ready for a show, she...

That was great advice. Before we got her she hadnt done anything really so im starting from scratch. her groundwork could be worse but she is getting there. It all makes sense though really with her knocking poles down and her not being strong on her back end. More groundwork and pole work it is...

Me too! ive not even taken my youngster out yet to xc courses or farm rides so she may be totally different over xc fences as she is very forward in general

thank you, all this is good advice so its much appreciated, your horse sounds very similar to mine!

She is also weak on one side of her body which i am a bit worried about! I am starting to do good uphill paces with her and pole work to get her stronger but i am worried this will effect her jumping in the future?
