Yep or both posters could put each other on UI or whatever it's called?

But where would the fun be on that:confused:

Armas, DD is clearly not in the minority with her opinion here. I am amazed that any vet would recommend the strain of exercise in the form of jumping so soon in such a case. There are many of us who would do things differently, have a little more patience, but then we would probably be able to enjoy them for much longer, obviously long term isn't really a concept you seem to grasp, I have no doubt you love you horse very much in the here and now. I would ask the question but you would probably ignore it: what is the problem with putting the jumping on hold for a while and focusing on flatwork:mad: do you really think your boy (who is quite clearly still a bit short behind) is worth risking. I am certain that if you spoke to your vet and expressed concern/requested reassurance he would probably say, fine, take it slower.... Taking things slowly does not mean your doing it wrong! Although as I've said, I doubt that if you showed your vet that video he would pat you on the back and tell you that was what he meant you to do!
 
Good heavens I pop to pub for something to eat and come back to finish packing to find tertesterone dripping out the iPad I am quite put off.

Ummm QB, hello??? Who cares anymore???

We are all drooling over polo players now here, don't need your interjections at such critical times of perving... :D:D:D
 
I could just look at that all day..... whoopsidaisies... how did it become my screensaver????!!!!
 
I too am shocked that this horse is straight back into full work, clearly the OP has not heard of working the horse gently and building up fitness work after an injury, nor has the reason for the original injury been worked out, I would suggest that whoever is standing in the middle of that arena should actually teach you to jump properly, perhaps the very fact that you don't move your hands when you go over a fence, your horse jumps flat and never bascules could be the reason that the back end has to work so hard and has become injured in the first place, carrying on this regime will only mean further vets bills and a broken horse, read a book and learn from what others have said for the sake of your horse, please.

I am shocked that you have completely missed the whole point of this thread!!!

Have you not SEEN the Argy Polo Players??
 
I was going to say something about Armas, but I have missed the boat on that one, so...a friend of mine went to Argentina to help at a polo yard for 6 months and that was four years ago, I can see why now!
