Some little busy body pressed the button on my post in 'Show us your competition horses' on the grounds that these were professional photos, i now have an infraction! The fact that I have full permission to use the one, admittedly professional photo, is not the point, nor it seems the fact...

Not posted for ages but wanted to share Bigbirds pics from the weekend - photos courtesy of Eclipse Photography who gave me far to many to choose from (I have permission to post) as they did a brilliant job. This is Lluna in the Morphology (In hand section) Who says PRE's cant extend...

Just one of the reasons I love PREs:) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUBy1D6ixBY&feature=related

This is in latest news but does not seem to be generating the usual interest. Warning, there is an eyewitness account that is truly harrowing, apparently one of the horses was shot 19 times :( Truly truly horrific and there seems to be a press shutdown...

Would someone lunge a 2yo in a pessoa and then complain loudly that he bronks when she rides him - dear God the mind boggles at the complete and utter stupidity

I am seriously impressed with the specs - have order 3 Original and 1 Senior as I am even more impressed with the price :):D

This may be a little contentious but I am absolutely amazed at the number of adults wearing body protectors for a walk/trot test! Now if they were on scatty youngsters then I could perhaps understand this, but no, the majority are on sensible looking horses (who look half asleep actually). If...

Took the Bigbird to BAPSH at Hartpury, her first competition! I was so pleased with her in the dressage warm up, despite never having been in a warm up, especially with stallions, she was really very good and handled it brilliantly. Had a couple of big spooks in the actual test which gained...

Piccies of Bigbird at her first competition BAPSH Hartpury 2010 Dressage Morphology (or conformation!) And a couple of gratuitous Sirena photos!

After watching some lessons recently, I cannot help but think that Riding Schools these days are pushing people out of their capability zones. I saw riders bouncing around on backs and socking horses in the teeth whilst simultanously banging away with their legs - it upsets me tbh :(...

All the 'Parelli' people I meet seem to be a little 'soft' in the brain tbh, is it all that quality time with carrot sticks and green bouncing balls or what? I would love someone to explain it to me - in simple terms please :cool:

Why? The fate of our racehorses is an important subject and needs addressing :confused:

Lluna's reading came back - these are the photos I sent: Well I love that you pick such characters Gill, because this is one strong minded individual, I don’t want to go back to your other reading, in case the photos energy confuses me, but this mare feels strong, stubborn and...

First this is the photo I sent - from my computer, NOT my photobucket account (which is private anyway) This is the reply (my comments in red) Well the first thing that I see are the amazing paces this beautiful mare has, she really does float doesn’t she? She has such a kind eye...

Am thinking about one of these - has anyone got one?

Just got off the phone to my friend, her favourite PRE mare has just lost her foal :( The mare had gone 390 days and went into labour last Wednesday, she managed to expel the head but no feet visible so the vet was called, it took them one and a half hours to get the foal out as they had...

Saw the ad in H&H this week and had a look at their site - the prices seem really cheap ie Badminton Conditioning Nuggets £8.13!!!! I currently pay £9! Sorely tempted to take 15 bags worth, has anybody else tried them?

Got a newsletter from my vets this morning and they have decided that for people in my area, Monday visits will have no call out fee!!! The only proviso is you need to book a day in advance, so wont work for emergencies but will be brill for vacs etc - this is going to save me lots of money

VERY ROUGH DRAFT!!! For those who may object to Racing, Breeding and Competition horses being exempt, please bear in mind that these industries are fairly strict anyway, they need the free movement, they are regulated and have been travelling freely for years without problems, try to impose...
