Do you think it can be done? AM I mad, was considering filming my husband on our shire for an intro a or b walk/trot test..........i dread to say it but what are your thoughts on this? Sorry, forgot to say, its a virtual dressage competition judged by british dressage judge viewed over youtube)
(ps: the lady who's horse i ride at the moment says "they're driving animals, of COURSE they can't bend!!!" :p )

We have had the same comment about our welsh pony undersaddle because he is a harness pony as well. Just so amazing and usually comes from'experts'.

There is a great clip on Utube of a clydesdale in Queensland AU and he is rather nice.

I hope you would consider actually entering a real test and showing them its still has 4 legs and a tail and is a horse.

Very lucky Emily!

My OH turned up after it had finished and took the picture. He said he didnt realise I wanted him there and it isnt his 'thing'. COnsidering I went on my own for the first time and had kids in tow, havinghim there would have bee a massive help but hey ho....

Just trying to decide which show to go to next now! Am looking forward to it though.... May even bew taking Major next time!

Gosh your so brave! I'm still trying to pluck the courage up ready for the end of May- that's when I'm meant to be showing my boy Charlie- I've been told its a nice little show and it should be great experience for him- I haven't quite convinced myself yet though!! My husband said that he will take him in if I chicken out so at least I have a safety net!!

I think you are very lucky having that 'safety net' Emily..seems like not all 'husbands' are on board here...lol Nice that you can enjoy it together...

Our mare still not waxed up!! Gosh just shows how wrong you can be at times! She has been really aggitated today and she keeps trying to kick her tummy so think she's starting to wish the foal was here already! I feel really sorry for her- she looks so fed-up!!

As far as I know the 9 year old mare has been used to long rein and pull a chain harrow, she hasn't been in shafts and don't think she has been broken to ride but saying all that apparently she is a biddable mare and won't take much to break in to any discipline. If you are interested I will give you the contact number, the man whose mare it is is seriously ill in hospital and that is why the family are selling her.
