Clipping…
Eva is not a fan of getting clipped. In short she hates being tickled so will barrel over anyone that does anything remotely tickley. A horse was getting clipped on the yard a few weeks ago and she was standing at the back of her stable having a bit of a snort at the whole … Continue reading Clipping…

It wasn't that she was hopping lame and it wasn't even noticeable in the trot but almost like she had pulled something and was fine in trot but the canter was difficult. So I gave her a few days … Continue reading October Dressage
