Vectra is my everyday senisble car. Want a car to carry all my dirty, farm stuff up the farm. Not just a farm track, where the farm is is high up in hills where snow gets bad etc, all roads around it get bad in winter. My Vectra will be useless, especially with current wheels/tyres on

some fun options on the ebay but you might need to put bigger wheels on the horse box

Rode him today and he didnt ditch me first time in weeks! Lunged him for half an hour first, he cantered silly none stop, nearly fell over few times as he was going to fast. When I got on he was pulling the whole time to be off, when i let him canter (was just in the school), he just cantered round silly fast for ages. Think it's just him having too much energy. Think I might hunt him over winter to see if that sorts him out!

What you feeding him? What bit is he in?

Should try long reining him fully tacked ect, also get the voice commands down, helps when they at least listen a bit.

hes been on cool mix and H&P cubes, with carrots etc and usual supplements, but recently cut down the cubes, and bulked his food up with Happy hoof and applechaf for winter, so nothing high energy. He's just in an eggbutt snaffle but been recommended to try a loose-ring.
Once he gets his initial sillyness out the way, hes great on the lunge, listens to voice commands almost perfectly, trying to lunge him as much as possible but weather has been awful.
Also been freeschooling him a fairbit recently. He looks really happy when exercising and have noticed he's starting to put on more muscle already
