Hello,
Thankyou for your input. He is in a starvation paddock at present and we're going to see what the farrier suggests. I have been riding for 4 years, I am 11. And yes I will admit, I am scared when I get on because almost every time I get on, I come off. But if I only ride him for 10 minutes there's little chance I'll come off, any longer than that there's a very high possibility..
But after a few minutes of being on my nerves DO settle..
Thanks,
Missy.
