    Fillet strings Vs. Leg straps!

    Daughter's pony found standing in field first thing in morning with hind fetlock caught in his leg strap to his turnout. Night before, leg strap had been fitted perfectly. 6 weeks off work, injections into soft tissue and £1500 worth of vet and physio bills later, he came back into work and that...

    Max Tweseldown Report

    Well done! I rode in the 90 on the Saturday and I would say the xc was quite long for a 90 with quite a few gallopy bits and with 2 strong waters...jumping in AND out..so I think to get a baby horse around is an amazing job. Huge congrats.

    The art of mastering 3 sports in 3 hours . . .

    Oh, how annoying after being in the lead. BUT if it is any consolation, that fence was in the BE90 the week before and my mare absolutely ballooned it (as an ex-showjumper she doesn't really get the whole "brushing through" thing!). The pro pics are NOT pretty at all and it was only by sheer...

    Setting a record at Nunney CIC**

    Well done for overcoming the negative feedback. I would have been so far into the chasm of doom that nobody would have been able to retrieve me ;).

    Clear round report, with pics & vids to make it more interesting

    Felbridge has to be one of the most spooky of venues with the pond (were the frogs making a racket? ;) ) and the climbing teddy bears up the side of fences so well done you for taking her there as a first outing :). I too think you are being harsh on yourself...we all get caught out from time to...

    Article on magnesium and eventing accidents

    I agree but was surprised at how many people were commenting on fb earlier along the lines of..."yes I have always thought calmers should be banned etc". I am neither pro nor anti calmers and know nothing about the science but the timing is ill-judged at best and horrifically insensitive at...
