Sorry for the radio silence for the last few weeks. I've been busy having an amazing time at hickstead then came home with a virus I'm still recovering from.

So here is one of my favourite videos.
So many people think the hanging cheek has poll pressure.
It doesnt! It makes your horse more comfortable therefore you have more natural breaks!

The FEI have suspended riders for less cruelty!

Combinations have been eliminated for buts upside down but this is still allowed?!

How can this poor horses welfare be upheld when it can't breathe!

The rider has applied nasal straps to open the air ways for faster cross country work but they have applied this noseband so tight on sensitive areas of the nose.

On that part of the nose there's so little bone! The force of this noseband can break the tip of the nasal bone and restrict the horses breathing.
Horses are nasal breathers, they cannot breathe through their mouth!

This is appalling use of a Kineton noseband which likely has a steel plate in the noseband to make it harsher on the nose. To use it with a tom thumb gag too is even worse!
The noseband is saying nose down! The gag is saying head up! The poor horse doesn't know what you're asking!

This needs to stop!
