sorry for late reply been busy but this was really insightful for me! I'm only just realising how weak my signals are and now know what I need to work on instead of thinking I need to learn to be a horse whisperer! Really appreciate your insight thank you!
I've gone horse mad and spend a lot of time watching youtube or shows like All star academy which I've actually learnt loads from! Thank you for your input and advice, working on implementing as much as possible!
Thank you! I've just bought a crop but so far I'd been giving them a good solid slap with them as I thought I wasn't being firm but will work on building my leg muscles and will just tap with the crop.

Thank you! I didn't know pee rots leather so will definitely be changing. I was considering using short jods boots I have but those are leather too so maybe not.
Hi everyone,
this may be a silly question but what should I wear when mucking out/ grooming etc?
I've been having beginner lessons for several weeks now and am going to start learning horse care soon and wanted to know if I should just wear what I ride in?
I have long riding boots and jodhpurs...
