worst advice you have been given

[Pippity]

For a mare that evaded by tucking her nose right into her chest - "Put a martingale on her, that'll fix it!"

 

[Batgirl]

It's cruel to leave your horse out with no rug (said horse was sweating whilst naked and I am seriously considering clipping him next summer!)

I think most unsolicited advice to be bad advice! (99% of the time anyway!)

 

[Carrots&Mints]

Not really advice but a weird comment, I was talking to a woman about having Alfs back shoes taken off over winter and she said 'dont do it, it will make them lob sided' i was quite confused, I think she thought I was them off on one side. Strange

On how to get a horse on the bit 'You pull the reins and kick at the same time"...

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

Another way to get your horse on the bit. Jock your stirrups up, sit on the back of your saddle and lock your hands behind your knees with a short rein. The horse will soon learn to put it's head in the right place.

 

[Sleipnir]

Remembered another one. "Your sidepull will be of no use if you don't strap the noseband really tight! You shouldn't be able to pass a finger under the chinstrap, and that's how you use bitless bridles. Otherwise they have no effect on the horse whatsoever."
