Firstly I was wondering if anyone could message me the phone number of the old Paradise Country in Nerang? I believe its now used for agistment but I dont want to go barging in there uninvited :)

Also wondering if there was any agistment availible near Tom Rose Park or Nerang Pony Club. I dont have a float or a car to pull one so I desperately need to move out of where I am now to some where that's within riding distance to those two locations :) There arent any training facilities where I am now and I'd like to be within riding distance to some where that does (round yard or arena - not hugely fussed).

Secondly I was wondering who people would reccomend for a dressage coach? I've been riding my whole life but took 6 years off after a shoulder injury and have been back for 2 years now and looking to start competing again next year. I'd also like to get back some confidence with jumping so a coach who has some experience in that area would be fantastic.

If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much

Well I’ve had 3 lessons back after my fall (would have had five, but I had to go away for 2 weeks) and I’m having a bit of trouble rising to the trot. I broke my tibia platto, and when I rise it hurts in that joint area. So I’ve had to sit to the trot (witch I hate!). And I was wondering if a nee support would help until my nee gets strong again?

Was also wondering if anyone has had an injury like this and how long did it take for you to be able to start rising to the trot again? I don’t know anyone else that has had this injury before so can’t talk to anyone about it.

I'm looking for an email or phone number for Nikki Greenaway.
Nikki, if you're out there - I got your message but it is saying I can't reach your phone number on "this" service when I try and call!!

Also, if anyone has Kate Dolan's too that would be great!

Can you please email or pm it to me.

I have had my horse looked at and his stifle needs to be ultrsounded to see which ligament is damaged and what can be done with it.

This means a trip to Bris Vegas which is not a problem but am eager to hear of any experiences with stifle problems. It is not stifle lock. I guess I am not ready to go onto another horse and hope my boy can be helped. ]]> Health issues jodles http://dressageit.com/bb/showthread.php?t=6106 http://dressageit.com/bb/showthread.php?t=6105&goto=newpost Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:29:36 GMT I had a conversation today with the woman who used to train one of my OTT TB's when he was racing. We got to the topic of how some of her retired horses who were sold/given away ended up with undesirable owners who mistreated or didn't look after them.

Anyway as a point of discussion, I was just wondering what people who sell or have sold horses in the past look for in the potential buyer to ensure their horses will end up in a good home? ]]> Tailgate talk becca http://dressageit.com/bb/showthread.php?t=6105 http://dressageit.com/bb/showthread.php?t=6104&goto=newpost Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:00:41 GMT Hey all!
I'm from Canada, and I stumbled across this BB, hopefully there are like minded people here!
I ride dressage to ride dressage - ie not to compete. In the interest of keeping myself a little motivated and retaining my horse's value I do however show fairly actively.
I have owned horses for a little over 9 years and have been riding dressage for slightly longer. Currently I own 1 horse, a 2003 Swedish Warmblood gelding who I have had for 18 months. We showed at second level last year and are working hard this winter to get to third/fourth next year. I train with a former Olympic team member who has declared for the 2010 Alltech WEG, so hopefully you'll all be able to watch her come October!

Hope to get to know you all!

anyway, she has been fine so far but starting not finishing her feed about a week or two ago. I reckoned it's just because of the foal being in the way.

However since a few days she doesn't just leave a bit but hardly touches it. She also seems very distracted and spends most days just looking at something in the distance (I haven't worked out what but it may be the neighbours' mini's). She also quite often bites her tummy like she wants to chase away flies. Anyone know if foals kick etc like human babies? She doesn't like me touching her tummy much either although she will accept it.
I am just not sure if I should get worried or whether this is normal? (first time horse mum too)

I am going to attempt feeding her 3-4 times/day instead of twice but would like to hear your experiences. ]]> Breeding saskia http://dressageit.com/bb/showthread.php?t=6101 http://dressageit.com/bb/showthread.php?t=6100&goto=newpost Sun, 15 Nov 2009 01:37:18 GMT Check out this cute foal pendant, very cute http://shop.ebay.com.au/?_from=R40&_...l.+Thai+silver.
