What a very very prductive day....everything for HOY washed and dried. Stables and tack room COMPLETELY cleaned out. Farrier has been...I feel so terribly organised. Also spent 10 mins today teaching baby horse to load.....she walked straight on after a bit of coaxing...no bum rope needed. She is getting MORE and MORE like her big brother everyday!!! Looking so forward to working with her next season :-)

I love my new project horsie!!!! Hes a dream. I have jumped him about 8 times (just grids, trotting poles etc) and today I set up a course. He just cruised around without a care in the world. Okay so it wasn't huge(60cm) but I was wrapped with his effort. I don't want to crank them up too high for a few more times incase I knock his confidence.
What do other people normally do when they are teaching a horse to jump?

While they are small like that, chuck all the fill and spooky things you can think of and he knows he can jump the jumps so even if he stops to look you can push him over and make a big fuss of him.

I think I have a brown reassurance dressage girth, will have to measure. Has elastic at only one end but you could have it put on the other with not much trouble. Brown alright?

I'm likely to be driving with a float to PN in about a months time - is anyone likely to need a horse/pony moved down that way - will be empty on the way down.

Just droped my boy off at his trial lease home, the girl is smitten with him and she is over the moon to have brakes (her current pony dosn't). He was his good laid back self. So took empty float home and decided to get my broodmare out and give her a small potter with bubs running around beside us and she was a dream - wouldn't have thought she hasnt had anyone on for for the past 6 months, didn't do much riding, just around the arena a handful of times, but enough to know she was comfortable and being good - So proud of both

Have to say the Loxster really deserves a star in his name, today (after no riding for a week) we saddle up to trundle around block, gallop along PC hilltop (myler bit= good brakes), zoomed over some baby scary jumps in another strange paddock and gave nannying service to a friends greenie...paddock walks are not so scary with uncle lox in attendance. sigh ALL the hard yards when he was a baby all pay off now.....that and I like him being close to the ground (14.3hh)

I got some pretty cheap high standards from wrightsons on sh16, Kumeu. Can't remember the actual price but might be worth a look. Otherwise check TM, sometimes some good deals there.

Pinepac ITM are good in Kumeu or Whenuapai if you get the 'members loyalty card' - I'm pretty sure you get 10% off or similar.

Advice please: I have a lovely wee just 4yrs 13.2hh paint here still has growing to do, and is quite a compact lad ( not very long in his back) I want to know if I have a saddle that I'm using is a little long in length but ok in width/gullet etc....& he is happy it in ( I'm also not too heavy 60kg ) would it be ok to use it? I'm finding my other saddles slip up on his shoulder & he gets annoyed like you would, but this one is fine, just a tad long.TIA

I think sometimes a shade too long can be okay, but it depends where the weight sits in the saddle (where is the lowest point of the seat). At the end of the day, if he's happy in it and isn't happy in other saddles then I guess you have to listen to horsey.

Thanks to those who answered my question yesterday about test Q. Made a lot more sense when it was explained like that! Me and my pony had a pre-training ODE today and ended up winning the dressage and then came 1st overall. His second ever ODE, so i'm very proud :)

Just want to say that I love my pony :)
Also when it is nudging 30 degrees out there and you are wearing black there is a HUGE amount of canter in 1.6 - they should have had Mr Whippy parked at the end of the arena at today's comp, he would have made a killing :)

We had a great day - bit of a hairy start though when the irrigator behind the float started up while I was tacking up, so we had lots of "up" energy! lol
We came second in 1.3 and then won 1.6. I am still grinning, she really tried, and we even got lovely changes of bend in our serpentines. We won the overall series and got a lovely Horze saddle blanket. Tomorrow we are off jumping for something different :)

Hazel it was the 3rd day of the Arion summer series. Bend is still a major issue, I had to concentrate really hard and stick my tongue out just to get it on the serpentines :)

Good girl, sticking your tongue out certainly helps the balance of the bend. Did you get a nice wide ribbon too?

Anita - I saw your horse last week - you were in the arena next to me - but I could only watch the first couple of movements. She did not seem to be her usual self, so I'm glad that everything went well today. You should have done the North Loburn series and got another points prize! You could still get it if you won on both the other days.

Well that was an unccomfortable wee ride just now. I wanted to see if my bruised inner thigh was OK to ride on. Decided Mags would be the best/steadiest ride option. Didn't realise until too late I had saddled up the Magnum from Hell.
Me: Mags, mummy has a mega-bruise, be nice to her OK?
Mags: Thanks for the week off on full feed Rach - check out my new-found JOG!!
Me: Aaaarrrrgh!
The verdict is no my bruised leg is not OK to ride on. Saw lots of lovely trucks and flash horse-floats going past us on the way to HOY though! I wish one would have stopped and taken Magnum away!

I have had a horse for 6 months and he arrived with a motheaten look to his neck. It was apparently caused by an over-enthusiastic grazing buddy who kept licking his neck. 6 months later its not showing any sign of improvement and Im wondering if the hair follicles have been damaged beyond repair. I also think it might have spread. I have been washing it with neem oil shampoo in the hope that if its ringworm it will help .. but it doesnt seem to have made much difference it looks like this and here is a close up Im considering clipping him in winter and hoping that it grows back with his new coat ... am I being a bit too hopeful?
