Just to say I got along to Ham House at the weekend and was super impressed. Thanks for the recommendations people

Thanks so much everyone. Jenniedream, thats exactly the kind of place I want to avoid. Sounds great, but just not for me. I'll give Ham House a call and check out Mottingham. thanks again

Hi I'm a long time lurker/reader but rarely post. However I was hoping some of you could help. I've just moved to London (Lewisham, boyf in Barnes) and was looking for somewhere to go riding. I'm experienced but rust having not done much in the last five years beyond the occasional lesson. Is...

On the saddle front think of it this way. . If I was in to running, but not aiming for the olympics but trying to do it in general purpose shoes you;d tell me to get some trainers. Heck you may even suggest I try some out to see how they feel if I jog around a shop in them. I probably...

I've been to that 'trekking centre'. They know their stuff.

I rarely respond on here.. but I lurk (sorry.. I realise that nearly makes me a stalker).. But do you have to stay in the UK. I think someone on here in in Belgium where things seem much cheaper and the facilities are good. Maybe get a TEFL qualification to supplement it or do private english...

I don;t mean this to sound rude (or criticising) I'm just intrigued as to if the local state schools are any good. I only ask because I went private for my A-levels (good school, good people) but I'm not convinced it was value for money for my parents. Always felt a bit guilty about it really.

I choose not to do riding for my gap year, which was fortunate cos it was foot and mouth and I'd have been most cheesed off. Can you not relate it to your degree in some way? and kill several birds with one stone. So for example, if you want to do marketing, contact and equine tourism company...

Is a small part of you not tempted to phone her tomorrow, say you had a horse you wanted her to compete.... let her talk for a bit and then say you've just had an email in from someone who was at the show removing their reccomendation about her because of her apalling manners and xenophobic...

I used to be, I grew up near Hartpury!

Hi I stuck a post on this up last year but I lived in a different place then.. I'm hoping moving will match me up with people who want help more as lots of people were interested they just lived miles from me:-( I can;t afford (time or money) to own a horse any more. I live in London and the...

[ QUOTE ] As far as your last sentence to Aliwag is concerned - I think perhaps you might think again on that one - even if you disagree it's a valid point of view [/ QUOTE ] I think I was more open to the idea I may be totally wrong and that the market they were going for was principally...

Actually the point about Burghley was preciesly how hard it can be to get to - admittedly its nearly a decade since I've been. Its unlikley the house has moved but I appreciate the roads may have got better :-) The reason the Millenium Stadium is such a popular venue is because it is right...

Yes because no other events at the Millenium Stadium ever sell out and have been successfull held there.. just a few FA Cup Finals, MASSIVE Rugby matches, boxing matches, the Wales Rally GB, pop concerts... The Stadium have a generally faultless ability to get people in and out of the ground...

will they not just close the roof of the stadium?!
