Ask the experts
Gut feeling
My horse is prone to ulcers but gains weight easily, particularly at this time of year. What could I feed him to keep his gut healthy without providing too many calories?
Sunblock
Why’s it so important to put suncream on my horse’s pink nose?
Lost and found
My horse is really prone to losing shoes. What can I do to give his shoes the best possible chance of staying on?
Critical thinking
I really struggle with overthinking while I’m riding, especially in the run-up to competitions. Is there any way I can become more focused in my sessions and stop worrying?
Happy handling
I had an accident while handling my horse and it’s made me really nervous about being around him. If I can get on board I feel fine, it’s just on the ground. How can I rebuild my confidence?
Roadworthy
My horse is quite nervous in traffic. Is there anything I can do to build her confidence or is this just how she’ll always be?
Breathe easy
My friend said her horse has asthma. Can horses really be asthmatic? What are the signs and is it treatable?
Mud, glorious mud
My horse has started licking the dirt in his field. Should I be worried about him?
Eye-opener
My mare always seems to have runny eyes, but the fluid's clear and doesn’t look like it's causing her any discomfort. What causes some horses to have runny eyes, even when there are no flies around?
Flying thenest
My horse can be quite nappy to hack, particularly in new locations. How can I work past this?
Get ahead
I’m struggling to stop my horse rushing and running out at fences. He goes so fast it makes me think he’s going to jump, then he rushes past at the last minute. How can I get him out of the habit?
Left to right
My horse struggles to pick up the left canter lead, and almost always gives me the wrong one when I ask for it. How can I work on this and get him out of the habit?
Fit as a fiddle
I’m looking for a new girth to go with my horse’s saddle, but how can I tell whether it fits correctly?
Washed up
I need to give my winter rugs a wash, but can I do this at home to save sending them away?
Cool it
I mainly hack and showjump my horse, but I’m planning on taking part in some fun rides this summer. Is it a good idea to buy a pair of cooling boots?
Round andround
It’s a struggle keeping my horse going forward on the lunge. As soon as I stop chasing her she slows down. How can I get her moving?
Back it up
Is it true that horses prefer to travel backwards?
Management know-how
Young guns
