Another lovely review from the visit with Michael Peace last Friday. Next week he is in Herefordshire and Gloucestershire on Monday and Tuesday then Hertfordshire Wednesday, Surrey/Hampshire Thursday and Oxfordshire Friday.
‘Since early June our horse had developed some challenging behaviour patterns when being worked in the school or arena. He would become ‘stuck’ and really not want to go forward. When pushed he began to rear. We had the vet out, the physio, the dentist and the saddler but throughout the summer things failed to improve. Michael came last week to help us and was nothing short of amazing! His extremely calm, quiet, kind but firm manner put us all at ease and he talked us through how to obviate any rearing. The following day my daughter was able to work her horse in the school without any rearing for the first time in over 10 weeks. I can’t thank Michael enough, and wish that I had called him sooner’.

Part 1. Mounting Michael Peace works with mounting and napping issues on a home training session.

Day 1 post Michael’s visit - 🤸🤸Rolo was perfect to mount, despite this I still practised mounting then moving him (not me!) back to mounting block and re mounting a few times to make sure it wasn’t a fluke!

I had 1 second of thinking of napping as I asked him to move off and then we walked in and out of yard and around yard. In the field he happily pinged round the field under saddle and only slightly tried his resistance once at the beginning in canter. Moved to other half of field over trotting poles, then returned to big half again and whizzed around field. A delight to ride. Thank you to Michael …. a transformation, but I won’t be complacent and will keep on top of him. Best wishes P.

Hi

I’m new to this group and was tentatively looking for some help and advice.
The problem I’m having is that my car keeps crashing into things for no reason.
It doesn’t happen all the time but last week it went out of control, mounted the pavement and hit a bollard. There’s no serious damage but I need to get to the bottom of what’s going on. I’ve been driving for 5 years, so I know its not me, but now, I’m beginning to completely lose my nerve. Yesterday for no reason it reversed into a lamp post and frightened the life out of me. Can anybody help. I’m at my wits end.

I’ve only owned this car for three weeks and have spoken to the dealer I bought it from but he was adamant it’s never done it before.
A friend of mine suggested having a local mechanic look at it, which I did.
I took it to the garage in my village and they went over everything with a fine-tooth comb.
They had it for several hours, took it for a test drive and embarrassingly everything was absolutely fine and the damn thing didn’t do it with them!
I explained that its intermittent and unpredictable which is why it’s so frustrating. They just looked at me as if I was insane. Damned car really showed me up and I certainly won’t be taking it there again.

Then, literally, on the way home it happened again! It hit the gatepost as I drove into my drive. I couldn’t believe it! I was so angry with the mechanic for letting me drive home in a dangerous car.

On the internet I found another mechanic who says he specialises in this sort of thing and he’s going to do a proper work through of all the potential things it could be. He suggested starting with checking the brakes and said although they look good he’d advise doing a complete overhaul, changing the callipers, and the pads and discs to eliminate this as the potential cause of all the crashing. This makes perfect sense to me.

He was honest and up front with everything, explaining this probably wouldn’t be a complete solution but was still definitely worth doing anyway. So I agreed. He had the car for months but I didn’t mind because at least, finally somebody was doing something!
Once all that work was completed, he suggested, as a precaution, it would be a good idea to have a look at the steering next. I was so grateful to find someone who knew what they were doing and was able to explain everything and offer a complete action plan.

Over the next week the mechanic set to work replacing the steering rack, steering column and even fitted a new steering wheel which he said he’d throw in for free
He was so helpful and kind.

I paid the bill drove home and everything was fine for 3 weeks but then unbelievably it happened again with me narrowly missing a pedestrian and hitting a wall in a car park.

Its so frustrating. I don’t know what to do next. I love this car so much. I’ve spent hours washing and polishing it, getting it regularly serviced, keeping it garaged, cleaning the inside and everything.
I’ve spent so much money but I’m now too afraid to drive it and I’m thinking of giving up driving altogether. It’s heart breaking.

It’s a petrol car but a friend of mine suggested running it on diesel to see if that works. I even had a friend suggest plugging it into an electric charging point which I’m going to try at the weekend.
I’ve even tried parking it up for three months to see if everything will reset
but it’s just the same and possibly even worse!

Can anyone recommend an online mechanic’s course I could subscribe to.

I’ve tried absolutely everything and now I’m thinking the best thing to do is to send the car to the scrap heap to be crushed so that it doesn’t hurt anyone. I feel it’s the only ethical thing left to do.

I don’t want to give the car away or send it to an auction. The thought of it being out there in the world just left on a forecourt for the next unsuspecting driver would be unbearable. I couldn’t live with myself if anything happened.

Has anybody got any suggestions
Thanks

The pseudo virtue from wannabe trainers over the CDJ expose is unbearable. Despicable, blatant self promotion scavenging for clicks, likes and money. You are like hyenas surrounding an injured animal. Horrible little carnivorous primates. You should be ashamed of yourselves!
If you were about horse welfare that would be different. But you are not. You are just trying to crawl your way up the publicity ladder over the demise of somebody’s career - and it’s obvious. Shame on you.
