UPDATE :) I had a number of people contact me, and have since worked with a number of horses (I will be going to Spain to work someone's horses soon). As stated in my previous posts, I was not looking to work with "crazy horses". I ensure the list of objectives I am required to do are...

Thanks for the suggestions I will give it a think x

Oh, also the saracen feed he is currently on, has an anti acid ingredient to help reduce ulcers

I give it him for the vit/ minerals he doesn't get from hay.... It's such a mine field of feeds with what's out there.... He is in better condition on it.... Other low fat/ sugar ones I've seen have higher oat content... That can't be good?!

Anyone else? :)

Just to managing a very good doer sweet x

Anyone know an alternative to Saracen Shape and Slim Chaff. Shape Up (20kg) is approx £17-£18 and Slim Chaff (12.5kg) is approx £7. It's very good but wondering if I could find something just as good but cheaper.... If that is even possible :) Thanks

Thank you all for suggestions. I bought the Heiniger Handy online, so time will tell how it goes :) TheEngineer - I've been trying an electric toothbrush until I get clippers, and put it in his stable today... he gradually calmed down. Fingers crossed I can desentise him to clippers... That...

lachlanandmarcus - Which one do you have? :) Good for nervous cobs?

Leviathan - thanks for the info, which Heiniger clippers? I've heard Heiniger Progress cordless are good, but wondering being 80w, whether they would be powerful enough once my cob gets his winter coat? Thanks :)

Thanks all. I may look into Listers and Heiniger Progress ones. I've tested a electric toothbrush and depending on his mood isn't too keen on it.... Slowly but surely see how it goes :) x

Anyone know which are the best clippers for a nervous cob? I bought my Hannovarian x Cob about 5 months ago, and previously when he was clipped a twitch was used... Ideally I'd like to clip him without a twitch, and get him used to them, before I use them. I've heard Listers and Liverman...

Well that is YOUR opinion... Good luck to you!

Bless you, for your support :) The thing is anyone who does approach me, I am happy to learn from them too! BEFORE I do any work with the person's horse I would show CERTIFIED MONTY ROBERTS INSTRUCTORS video of doing them Join Ups/ Long Lining 'correct' way, so that I ensure I am doing it...

Thanks hcm88. I have contacted them. I'm open to suggestions in what to do... I don't believe in telling people off when all one is doing is asking for help...
