    Soft shell breeches recommendations

    I love my Pikeur Luganas. They are warm, stretchy and wash up really well. They make winter a little bit more bearable!

    Rugs for cobs, reccommendations please

    Mark Todd turnouts and stable rugs fit my broad chested boy well. Also, just bought a 80g JHL turnout which I'm really pleased with so far given its reasonable price.

    Best ventilated helmet?

    The Gatehouse Chelsea didn't fit me but the Charles Owen Ary8 round fit is brilliant. Yes it is an expensive hat but I find it is really comfortable.

    Rugs for broader shoulders please.

    I find that Mark Todd turnout and stable rugs fit well on my broad shouldered Irish cob. However, the fly rug was way too tight and I felt like I was putting him in a straight jacket! The Amigo bugrug XL is a better fit for a fly rug but still not perfect.

    What to wear for local dressage?

    Don't worry too much about buying expensive gear for your first test. As mentioned a second hand jacket would be fine. As long as you are both clean and tidy then a judge should be more interested in the actual test. My friend recently won her first intro test wearing a black v-neck jumper! Her...

    Red Horse Artimud or Field Paste may be useful.

    Not getting anywhere with thrush...

    I soak in apple cider vinegar twice a week and apply Red Horse Artimud a couple of times a week as well. His frogs are finally starting to look better :)

    Trouble washing wool numnahs

    I gently scrub mine in the bath using cool soapy water and work in some hair conditioner. I then put it in the machine. I don't think a wool wash is designed for dirty horse numnahs!.Hence they don't always wash up as well as expected. My machine also really struggles to spin them.

    Lazy 5 year old

    What is he like on the ground? My boy was lazy to lead and always dawdled behind me to and from the field. This drove my instructor mad and we have done a lot of groundwork to ensure that he leads properly and when I say go we go! I think that this has given me more confidence in my ridden work...

    Who has a solution saddle

    Am I right in thinking FW that you were waiting for a m-t-m jump saddle with white stitching? If you don't mind me asking how are you getting on with it?

    Sprenger Bow Balance - sizing?

    From what I can remember, my 4.75 inch bow balance and system 4 stirrups were both marked with 122mm and this measurement was also on the boxes. As you say this size is recommended for ladies and I don't know how much bigger the 'gents' stirrups are.

    If I remember rightly she jumped straight off the derby bank from the top at Hickstead but I may be confusing her with another rider on a grey horse!

    How are his feet looking? 14.5 weeks of self trimming

    Please excuse me hijacking your thread Kezzabell and my ignorance but I have a question about walking once the shoes come off. Do you mean walking in hand to start with and over a variety of surfaces? Front shoes are hopefully coming off next week and I want to try to get things right for it to...

    Best body protectors?

    I love my Racesafe and am hoping to look at their new one soon. I also have a Kanteq but only wore it a few times. I found it to be really heavy, restrictive to wear and made me look ridiculous. Despite the cost it is now sat in a cupboard :(
