Interesting to see how endurance works, thanks for posting that
Re his bikini wax - I've never seen that before, is it a thing just endurance people do?

You will see all kinds of clips at endurance rides, I have done some random ones myself but this year have gone traditional

Love his springy paces. Takes me back to our EGB rides.

Lol at the bikini wax but how cold, wet and miserable does that look?! I really lol’d at ‘Mum looks like a drowned rat’

You just clip what suits the horse generally to keep them cool, my friend leaves as much coat on as possible this time of year due to conditions.

Getting cold can shoot their HR rate up in some cases which can get you eliminated

I didn’t notice until I went to push him up the ramp in the morning poor boy!

We all looked like drowned rats to be fair

Vanti looks such a lovely boy bless him he made me laugh spooking at the logs, he reminds me so much of my 2 they would have done the same, typical Arab's you gotta love em.

Newbie to endurance, this is the first I’ve seen and loved it! Vanti is a darling with or without his Brazilian

And they were still scary the second time round!

Oh he's lovely! Endurance always looks like such fun. Except when it's raining!

Yep! For the big scary stallion he was he’s a bit of a fairy really I like him though, he’s pretty well behaved now and is chill as anything to handle so long as you respect his boundaries
