Jasmin Eisenkolb I had a 50ft one until recently and had to get rid of it because of a yard change!

It does have its advantages and disadvantages but when I get another I think I would still go back to the 50ft BUT fence it in like Richard’s to lessen the distractions from outside. 

The panel ones are great because you can just lose a few sections, I also recessed a mounting block in mine which you can just about see in the picture.

I used my pen for a lot of riding as I had no where else to do stuff outside of it where as Richard has a football pitch sized arena (not jealous honestly)

Welcome Jasmine, 

you’ve made a great choice getting access to all the videos, they will keep you busy for quite a while 

I’m sure Richard Boatwright will confirm but from memory I think it’s around 35 foot or 11m but to be honest I was to nervous having Richard stood watching me ground driving to notice anything else in the world except what Gus was doing 🤣🤣🤣

Richard Boatwright I change mine depending on what my arthritis in my knees says about the position tthey are in 🤣🤣

Cole Jamieson maybe going through the ES20 snaffle bits 1 & 2 and see how she is then decide if you want to change up bit, she’s only young so plenty of time

My personal take is if she does everything you want her to in the snaffle then why change!

What are your plans for her in terms of future work?

There is the ES20 softening the older horse series with Stardust the Gypsy Vanner which may be useful to you
