riding or just horse world or training

? and why?

what's your favorite horse breed? and why?

I want to find a good diet plan to follow, like a meal by meal plan telling me what to eat, I'm not very good at figuring out calories and what not so I would love a plan :) needs to help stay healthy and loose weight

ok my horse is trained , we do take lesson. one thing my trainer wanted me to do was research bridles, I have been told a figure 8 can control speed, I'm not an idiot I don't think it's a fix all or magic, just an aid. so don't tell me a I need lessons or a trained horse,

if the horse is avoiding the bit, it's also avoiding control so? and if I can't get help from the bridle are there any bit recomadations?

would a figure 8 bridle help my horse? he hardly rushes the jump but he's all around to fast even for jumpers! in a line he jumps the first jumps but races to the next and races after, he's just to fast lol, and yes I do grids and trot fences and it helps but I want to know if a figure eight would help still? also how to fit? and should I still use a snaffle? thanks!

so I'm moving barn and my horse will be in from like 4 in the afternoon till 8 in the morning and then pastured during the day, anyway he is an obsessive cribber and yes I'm going to put a cribbing collar on but I also don't want him to be bored ( that's a cause of cribbing for him) so any playful ideas?? I already got a salt block but what else? thanks!!:)

ok first off , it's not a jumping trainin fork, or a running martingale MY ONLY QUESTION IS HOW TO FIT IT! How loose or how tight?!?!!!

THE RINGS ARE NOT LOOSE its one circle of leather that raps around the horses neck and also attaches to the girth.

also I know how to use it, when I lift my hands or the horse lifts his head it puts pressure on the reins, and he has been in a German martingale before so he kinda gets it, my ONLY QUESTION is how to fit it for a huntseat NON JUMPER arabian

All I need to know is how to fit it!
