thanks for the great advice corner mad house :)

That's not very good corner mad house!

Can't quite remember what the vet said it was but it was to do with his hocks & he thinks issue will most likely cause him to become lame in the future

Unfortunately after all the great advice, the horse didn't pass it's vetting & I wouldn't be able to afford the vet bills if there was any problems which it looks like there will be! So it's back to looking! :)

Basically he's a 4/5 yr old who hasn't been worked very much and not had any schooling don't at all in the last 3/4 months. I rode him and he got rushed in his trot because it is not established and in his canter he did get a bit excited (I did regain control and did bring him to a trot do...

Thanks to everyone who said this isn't the horse for me because he's a brilliant horse. I've been with horses for 10 years and I am not a novice I know what I am capable of riding and I know not to over bit. By a different bit I ment a different type of snaffle as he doesn't need anything...

He's not to strong for me and i am capable of riding him but he is young i do not want him learning to rush

I've been to view a horses today & fingers crossed i will be getting him, however when i rode him he was in a eggbut snaffle & i think he needs a slightly stronger bit ..i was thinking a full cheek type ... Any suggestions?:D

Turn out in a headcollar ( a field safe one) if you don't already then if you can't catch him, pretend to be doing something else horses are very noisy and soon couristy should get the better of them!

I've heard lots of ways to worm, when to worm, how often, what to use etc.... but what do you do?!

If the bridle/bit is fitted correctly and if trying to get him light in the hand doesn't work/ to hard try a Waterford snaffle. i had a similar problem, the horse i used to loan used to lean on my hand to the point which they was crippled and a Waterford was brilliant! :)
