Prelim 18 is a really nice test with just a circle and long side of canter on each rein

Hunter clipped warmblood is in 100g with neck out during day and in at night, he was in 250g no neck but was too warm so dropped to 100 with neck

I have a couple of pairs of dublin, river boots and pinnacle and use them for all sorts, mucking out, walking dogs, camping, concerts, watching grassroots fball...... had the river boots over 3 years now and as mentioned in other posts i wash them off, mainly after mucking out to stop them...

Dublin do some lovely higher waist breeches

I've just reintroduced mine to tack after a period of time off, tying up (or having someone to hold him) and repetition has been key for us. Little chunks each day, starting off with getting him used to having face/forelock brushed with his head low enough that i don't have to reach up above my...

diamond equestrian on facebook has some lovely ones, very reasonably priced too

Agree with Dublin breeches too, really comfy, wash and wear well and the material keeps you dry in the rain!

I work FT and have 2 children under 8, weather permitting in winter i ride 3-5 times a week (4-6 during summer), i go up once the kids are in bed during the week. I'm fortunate that we have school with lights and apart from a lesson once a week for an hour i can make a 30 min session productive...

Dublin river boots, had mine 3 years in October and still going strong.

i use elastic both sides and have done since i bought J.

about 3 miles, 10 mins, can walk it in 45 mins if weather bad

I've used Harry dabbs waffle girth for a year or so now and really like it, as does my horse, much freer through his shoulder. My saddler comments on what a fab girth it is every time she visits us.

Agree with all the above, i've had to re-school mine, he had a very high head carriage (think a llama) and on the forehand, we're now 9 months in and still plodding through it, we have walk and trot cemented and we are now working on canter BUT it has taken a long time, weekly lessons, ground...

Really like the turtle top, transitioned my heavy on the forehand horse from a pelham to this in a few weeks, been in it since February and not looked back.
