I expect it was you making those dreadful screeches on the violin whilst sitting on the toilet that troubled him slightly.

Oh d'you think? I was trying to help. It might have been due to the fact that I had just plucked and gutted a pheasant and was covered in blood and feathers too, some people just aren't cut out for country living :rolleyes:

I would imagine that as a first port of call you should consult a decent instructor - most people are saying the same thing, but saying it from experience - my instructor set out grids for me and afterwards I measured them with my own strides - I know what distance I need for a normal canter stride, a long one and however many short ones I want to try to squeeze in - but theres no point telling you exactly - your grids need to be set up with your horse in mind. A good instructor is all you need!

I go up the road and lift half a dozen and scatter them randomly round the school. Then I jump them, then I put them back. I don't need an instructor as I can go very fast, round and round to loud music. And I find a pelham is an excellent bit for jumping grids. If the spacing's a bit off, you just kick or pull to make the distances up.

Oh and always remember to video it, lol.

No, really, he's fine. He's got rubber gloves and wellies on and he's carrying an umbrella.

Cotton-wool is what's needed - to put in our ears...
 
I'm feeling a bit pathetic and fluffy though......my youngest is in hospital at Edinburgh awaiting an operation tomorrow for an "abnormal mass" in her sinuses, so she is having her face cut open and bone cut away so they can get to it......she'll be in for a week and she is such a pretty mare it will be a shame if it scars her....don't think I can go to bed and sleep even though I've been up since 5.30am!
