Fill him up
I’ve recently bought an ex-racehorse off the track and want to make sure I get his diet right. He’ll spend several months out at grass, but I’d like to improve his condition before I start working him. Should I be giving him a bucket feed and, if so, what?
Cold as ice
What’s cold shoeing and are there any benefits of it over hot shoeing?
Safeguarding
There have been some break-ins at yards nearby recently. How can I keep mine protected?
Power through
I’m finding it really tough to stay positive and feel like I’m making progress in my riding, even though objectively I know I’ve improved. Is there a way to focus more on the bright side?
On the move
My horse won’t eat from his haynet in the horsebox. Why might this be?
Picture perfect
My friend uses visualisation to help her at competitions. What is this and could it help me feel more confident on show day?
Foot first
What’s founder? Is it just another word for laminitis?
Drinking problem
My horse drinks and wees a lot more than the other horses on the yard. Why might this be? Is it a problem?
‘Ear, ‘ear
My horse has some wax at the base of one ear, but not the other. Should I be worried?
Safe as horses
What testing process do helmets go through before being sold?
Buyer beware
I’m looking at a horse to buy, but he’s quite turned in below the knee. How might this affect him?
Breath of fresh air
My horse has to go on box rest for a couple of months. What sort of bedding options are there for horses who struggle with dust?
Walk away
I never score well for my free walk on a long rein because my horse tends to get faster as soon as I loosen my contact. How can we practise this?
Onward bound
I’m struggling to train my horse to understand that my leg can mean different things – not just go faster! Are there any exercises that can help him understand that I want him to lengthen rather than quicken?
Up and over
When we go cross-country schooling my horse jumps ditches perfectly, but out on course we often pick up faults because he stops to look first. Why might this be?
Cleans up well
My horse has four white socks and getting them clean is a real struggle. What’s the best way to get them sparkling?
Over-prepared
How many fences should I jump in the warm-up at a showjumping competition?
