Mattingley dress report

Does she like honey or apple juice?
Those are two of my stand bys if something has a funny taste. Even works on those huge sachets of antibiotic powder.
Liquidized apple with extra sugar is the last resort (but try to get cheap apples or it can work out a bit expensive).

Good luck.

Oh - was told today that my inconsistent contact was entirely due to not using my legs enough, and hands being set too low. A bit of nagging to lift hands/bend elbows/use legs, and 1/2 hour later I had a considerably better moving horse in a much nicer outline. Well - it worked for me anyway!!

Oooh, we used to use that brand, only their joint supplement, for F. A box (3 months supply I think) was about £400 if I remember rightly *faints quietly*... They are a Swiss company I believe.

Well, I thought that was a lovely calm test-I'm afraid I was very nosy and whatched some of your SJ vids on webshots, and you ride her extremely well and have a superb calm seat and hands-she looks like she's very hot.
Your Dad is a star-so lucky to have someone that supportive-my dad doesn't know the front or the back end of a horse-just likes showing off his friends when I compete, and can't believe it when I haven't won and my mum gets so nervous she can't watch the sj or xc! Love your dads comments-classic!

Hi

Thank you for your comments, she can be very hot and it was only a few weeks ago she scared me XC and I was about to give up. My dad really is fantastic
