Not sure re: soft surfaces. Although I did hear on the Buck off Banter podcast once that it's quite common for certain conditions to make a horse more lame on a soft surface, due to the ground underneath them being more unstable. Not sure what conditions though
My old pony had bilateral hind PSD and was sound on a surface but lame on a circle on hard ground. Honestly, the vets were thinking I bought them a sound horse when he was flexion tested and lunging in the round penNot sure re: soft surfaces.

Soft tissue conditions at a guess and I guess hard surfaces are more likely to flag up concussion sensitive problems, like arthritic joints.
I had to assure them there was something wrong.Agreed. What a piss take. Her caption “The videos do all the talking” is out right suggesting it’s because of the supplement. Adding “alongside professional training” at the end is pathetic and false. Even if the supplement had any effect whatsoever (part of me doesn’t even believe she’s used it all year) the impact of the supplement vs actual consistent training would be so small. Her response to the person who had commented is rude as well, what an entitled cow.
I’m just laughing at the fact she thinks putting the after clips in slo-mo makes them look better. He might not be throwing his head around but he still looks tense af.
Watched it this morning and I just don’t get his style of teaching, Lucinda Frederick’s does it too, they just shout commands repeatedly but don’t really explain things. Give me a Mary King/Pammy Hutton lesson any day. I sometimes think Cameron talks for the sake of talking. Miss Coopers Show Ponies has a vlog where she went to Talland with Donny and it was such a good lesson. She’s not interested in being pals and being funny for the camera, same as Mary wasn’t, it’s just you’re here for a lesson so let’s do it.
Lucinda is a nightmare for doing it.
Oh noooo. Was that at Rhi's first affiliated competition too? Vossi's natural paces make Charlotte look good. Put her on a downhill horse and it'll be a whole different score.
Poor Rhi! Sounds like she handled it well though. I really like her, she seems genuinely lovely.
Be very surprised if they have another foal from her!!
I guess a lot depends how Brego turns out. If he's the same as Bear (quite sharp, spooky etc) then most likely not. But it could be that at least some of Bear's issues might be from her past - Meg has said a couple of times they don't really know her history but her passport showed she'd been through the sales a few times & when they got her she was quite sick, underweight and just in a bit of a sorry state. So it's possible she's had some bad experiences that have either maybe caused the issues or made any pre-existing ones worse.
