    So I have just moved. To get into a routine I arrived just before night feeds....so he was fed with all the others. He had been out all am then worked prior to move. Then the next morning he could go straight into new routine. I didn't ride day 1 but did do day two and onwards. He has done lots...

    Eventing 3 horse deaths at Blenheim HT, have courses become too technical? Are horses not prepared enough?

    Has anyone ever fallen out of love with this horse business?

    you havent said if the kids do much with the shetland or not? i guess when a little older you may get involved with PC/RC? If 4 year old was/is sound i would suggest getting a sharer to help you out and take the pressure off. def consider if you have other options for the retired horse

    Loosing hope with Section D

    I think any horse would find cantering on a hack for the first time in 6 months a little exciting, some may give a little reaction - some bigger. I think I would potentially try to build up the canter work and perhaps also try her infront the next time you are with someone? see if that is...
