Make sure he doesn't rush into the transition, if he's scatty and running off he can pretty much strike off how he likes. Sit up and use your seat to slow him down, half halt before you ask and make sure you ask in a corner until he's established the correct leads. What you can do as well is bend his head a little bit to the fence as you ask for the transition, this will put him off balance and make him strike off on the correct leg. Once you're in the canter, keep the leg on, fix the bend so maybe put him on a circle and give lots of praise :-) Gradually he'll get used to striking off correctly and you won't need to bend him outwards at all x
u are loml where r u
On a weekday we feed around 8ish, it can be earlier depending if we are competing or it's going to be hot so Sam and I will get the riding done before the horses start melting, but on a normal day we just feed, rug up if any of them wear rugs and turn them out (inc DIYs because they're all assisted), muck out part/full liveries, hay nets/feeds, sweep yard and we are usually done by 10:30 at the latest so then we go for our lunch break. Come back at 3 to bring in the part/full's, put any needed lotions, potions and sprays on horses as they come in, then it's just skipping out, haying and feeding then we go home at 5pm
Yeah we actually have four boxes available at the moment but there are loooads of people coming to look about next week - our yard is beaut, we have a really nice bunch of liveries, the tea room is just fabulous and we n e v e r run out of milk, everyone is really welcoming and friendly

Fix Cordy and find him a rider/sharer
that's about it lol
Equine solutions premier flex
He was put down last week
Wall's has alfalfa pellets and alfalfa light, protexin gut balancer, premier flex, seaweed & rosehip, vegetable oil and plenty of water to damp his feed down. He gets a large soaked hay net every night and has a lot of turn out
As of today Ector's having chaff, non-heating pony nuts, bute, devils claw, honey and a drizzle of molasses also watered down. He also has soaked hay 24/7 and a big bucket of graze-on ready grass at lunch time as he can't be turned out
Ector was in a Stubben but as he muscled out we had to put him in a different one, he was in a Henri De Revel which was a lovely saddle
Wall's has a thorowgood dressage saddle and Kenton Masters long leg GP
