Howdy. I recently moved my gelding onto my property, and he seems to quite enjoy spreading his hay around his stall (and always has after talking with prior barns owners and managers). I built him a wooden feeder in the corner about 1.5x3x2 feet (WxLxH). It's better, but not great. What about securing netting on the bottom of the feeder, putting the hay/alfalfa in, then looping the netting over the top to create a kind of slow feeder? The feeder is higher than his knees, so I highly doubt he will step in it. Does anyone have any experience with something similar or see any potential problems?
So I have just got a 5 year old unbacked warmblood. I've sat on her bareback and she was an angel. I need to look into getting some tack now!
First question is about saddles - would a saddle fitter come out to a horse that has never had a saddle on before? From what I've read a lot of them ask you to ride in the saddle which obviously I couldn't do!
I've been lent a breaking bit, very metal and with keys for her to play with. As she's not a complete baby I'm wondering if a softer 'happy mouth' bit might be better? Does anyone have any recommendations of what you started your horses in?
And lastly bridles! I'm just looking for a snaffle bridle, cavesson noseband. Anyone got any recommendations?
Thanks!
