The dressage schoolmaster I kind f rescued.

I don't sorry. If you are struggling to find someone let me and I'll ask Mel if she knows anyone close to you?
 
The high withers are why we were first recommended the Suber Pad!!! it doesn't affect muscle build up at all! its fabulous
 
I am nagging oh like crazy to come and snap your hand off - but he is saying it is too soon after having gingerwitch pts and i need to have some time out..... but i can just imagine me and him doing our first prelim test side saddle - what a fantastic pair we would make, him grey and me all decked out in black..... and my side saddle would probably fit him a treat - its an old champion and wilton... now thats a thought for you.. try a side saddle on him - bet he would go brilliantly in it.

trust me i am working on oh frantically, my big lad is 17hh and he is a BIG 17hh - daft question what length is he? is he quiet in the field or a bit "riggie" or a wimp - what does he eat a day in hay- my big lad tends to eat a bale a day in the winter - small square bale not a round one - but i am sure he woud if he could ! lol
 
Oh thank you SO much for the update, I have been wondering how he was getting on. Wow, improvement is obvious :) If I were 10 years older and wanting to stop jumping I would snap your hand off and have him in an instant to do dressage with, but I am not ready to hang up my jumping boots yet :D

length? ummm not that long for a big horse, rugs vary between 6 6 and 7 3 depending on make. hes a gem in al ways, including in the field hes out with 3 mares at the mo and theres noworries baout going in with them all, 2 were laying down today and i went and sat down with them all!

hay.. hes picky, he wont eat a huge amount unless its yummy hayledge. feed wise he has alfa a oil x 3 a day and in one feed 3 mugs of blue chip/

sidesaddle? i may give that a miss LOL

he jumps! but to be fair ive been told he never enjoyed it much. saying the the sod was popping over a smalljump in the school of his own choice!
 
He feels like sitting in an armchair when hacking him,! ;-) He's a lovely boy and has really turned around, I wish we could to keep him he has stolen my heart but unfortunately I have to be sensible for a change (how boring)!
