Q & A ASK THE EXPERTS
In association with Sally Andrews is a List
Too much of good thing
I want to feed my older horse a veteran feed, but he’s a good-doer prone to weight gain. Will it be too much for him?
Time for a change?
My horse is always losing shoes, do I need to swap farriers?
Hedging your bets
I’ve recently moved yards and one side of my horse’s new field is dense hedgerow. Is this suitable and safe for my horse?
To the point
One of the liveries on my yard is very straight-talking. I know she doesn’t mean to put me down, but I end up feeling belittled. How can I stop taking things so personally?
Stuck like glue
My horse doesn’t respect my personal space. When I’m leading him, he often gets too close and stands on my toes. How can I teach him to back off?
Naughty or nice?
My horse naps and spins out hacking. Is he really being naughty, or is there another reason he’s doing this?

A soft landing

Pick up the pace
I want to start doing cross-country with my horse – how can I teach him to gallop?
Body buliding
I want to improve my strength to help my riding. Is going to the gym the best option?
In a hurry
My horse rushes at fences, but always clears them. Do I need to correct him?
