Hi Can anyone tell me the distance of the ridden area at Tatton Park? I am taking my mare there tomorrow. Thanks :)

So very sorry to hear this xx

Thanks for all the replies. I'm really struggling with the hacking and as i have no transport yet, its difficult getting madam out and about really. I could hack if she would, but strangely she doesnt like to hack out from the yard and refuses, backs up, spins and just makes it damn...

Hi All Me and mare are starting our first endurance season and i have so far done two pleasure rides and at the end of June i have my first lower level competitive class. I'm just wondering if any endurance riders out there could tell me what kind of training programme they do with their...

He is gorgeous! I have my Arab mare since August last year and she is amazing! My first horse too, and yes i got a lot of 'ooooo, a chestnut Arab mare as a first horse??!' comments, but she has taught me a lot since i have had her and we are now embarking on the start our endurance career...

I might have figured it out, here she is.... You can see where her mane is missing x

Please can someone tell me how to upload a pic so i can show you what i mean and then you might think it is too bad for the show ring! x

Thanks for the replies. Yes will only be going local, but agree with the fact that some of them have impressive manes!! If i could figure out how to upload a pic i would show you what the damage looks like??!! :confused: x

Sorry if this has been posted before, but I am a newbie :o I have a purebred Arab mare that I want to show but unfortunately a few of the youngsters she shares a field with have nibbled away at here mane :( I have been told that I can still go ahead and show as the classes are about...
