Thanks everyone, some great suggestions. I'll get my saddler to start having a dig through to see what's she's got!

Ok thanks. I am planning to stick with a leather saddle for showing/dressage but will bear treeless in mind if no joy fitting anything else to him.

Hello, It's been a while since I posted in the forum. I have very kindly been given a 5 year old coloured cob, standing at 15.1hh. He's going to have a few months off as he needs to fill out and mature. He's a beautiful boy and I hope to attempt some showing with him next year and dressage. I...

Best way to get across Severn Bridge in a lorry at car rate is to put curtains in the living window!! We recently purchased a lorry and the woman told me thats why she had curtains in there - not just to look chintzy!!

Belvoir Rubber at Staunton, nr Newark sell a decent chunky rubber. I think they call it strip rubber - I have some samples from them as I'm waiting to move then putting in a manege. They are extremely friendly and helpful!

Fab picture - she is my absolute idol too!! I recently managed to find a copy of Eventing Year on eBay - I was on cloud 9 for ages....now I would love her to write another Eventing Year and see what is different!!

Most Master Saddlers can do it - have a look through the directory of them to find your closest.

My daughters pony has just turned 4 and when she was cantering him started to hump his back, buck or kick out. I tried everything and had everything checked. Discussed with many a pony club instructor and the general consensus was he was just being awkward........then a friend of mine tucked up...

I was considering one of these but to be honest I went for a Wintec Close Contact as I want something I know I can trust. I am replacing the Bates GP I use on her but couldn't really afford to go for a Bates close contact - I already use a Bates CC on my other horse and find the saddles so...

Just wondered if anyone has any experience of using these successfully or not? I am just about to get my mare back I sold a couple of years ago who has windgalls on her hinds and was considering purchasing boots just before I sold her. She's coming home at the weekend and hasn't been too well...

Contact the auctioneers - they have details of who entered the horses and would be able to tell you if he sold or they if had a reserve on him. Good luck x

You look very similar to a girl who featured in Your Horse a little while ago - having a XC lesson and had the same stamina problems!! I would say that in your piccy he is probably carrying a little too much weight and you need to get out and canter canter canter. Find hills and go for it!! The...

PM details to me too - I am fed up of near misses too - especially out with my daughter. A huge Biffa lorry nearly cleared us up the other day...........soooo scary

My horse did something my friends described as 'pig rooting' when I first had him where I could feel his back come up underneath me then he would almost feel like bucking but would pull down on the bit and hop forward. It really un-nerved me to begin with and he did eventually buck off said...

I bought my daughter a pony and now we hack out together! It's not been easy, my daughter is my no 1, but now I can combine the two it's great! Our neddies adore each other too so it's easy. I also have a very supportive hubby who is never even more suffering as I've become a pony club mum too!!
