Geoffrey Pannell replied to savannah elizabeth rose lelm's discussion Getting my horse back in shape. Have any ideas?

"A wise old man said to me once "Trot the condition on, and canter it off". Interval training is the best way to condition your horse. Start off with 3x 3 min trot-walk intervals and every couple of days for the first week increase one…"

Geoffrey Pannell commented on Jackie Cochran's blog post Are the Fabrics of our Stretch Breeches Responsible for Today's Less Than Perfect Riding?

"I dont know that the material in most jodpers is to blame for bad riding Jackie, but the polyester surely doesnt help. I cant ride in anything other than mostly cotton blend, and it cant have any polyester in it at all (I get terrable chafeing if…"

"sounds to me, the thing to do is fix the old one and get another couple years out of it. Ive got a couple of 40yr saddles here and they just dont make them like that anyore. keep getting them fixed up and they will probably out live us all"

At the Pt Elliot Show yesterday he rode her around the showjumping like a pro ( allow me some fatherly exagerations). The pony is only just 7, his mother has been riding him out at the last couple…

7.30am Friday, all 4 horses and the two ponys loaded well and we were out the gate on time on our way to the Show in good spirits. Tony Hall, Kate, Nick and Briony and myself looking forward to a…

Wentworth Show

Well, after a mammoth 8 hour drive in the new truck we arrived safely and everyone travelled well. Wentworth is in the western district of New South Wales, so a fair way from Inman Valley. My wife ,Kate, has a family connection with the area and she was the first Miss Wentworth showgirl. As this was the 20th anniversary of that milestone in her life we felt duty bound to return for the show ( plus the mother in law said we had to!). I took two Showjumpers and the kids took a pony each , plus…
