Lacey asks: "When i jump Tubby, my 17 hand Thoroughbred gelding I'm very nervous, because since I've started jumping him, he has stopped several times. Usually almost everytime we jump, only some days does he not do it. When he stops, he will be cantering up, everything is going good, and then all of a sudden he slams on the brakes and puts his head down. For some reason, I can never stay on, I always go over his head and on the jump. I need help! How can i get him to stop this? I've tried carrying a riding crop with me and tapping him on the butt before each jump but it doesnt always work."

Toni asks: "I have a 5 year old thoroughbred with fractured cannon turned out in pasture now feeding 16 quarts 12% feed. Wormed about 2 weeks ago but still not putting on weight like i would like to see. He is about 17.2, very linky and thin-built and was thin when i got him after he had broken down in a work for a race. I am concerned with him not picking up weight as fast as I thought he might.... Any thoughts from you all would maybe help me get him looking better. The neighbors probably think I am starving him but I feed him plenty."

To a life, where pain and sorrow don't exist, and to where hopes, and dreams become reality. --Lindsay Turcotte | Special Messages for EquiSearch Members | Fence Me In! Sweepstakes
