Love mine and don't regret it at all, I did have to get a car/personal loan but less than 12 months to pay off. Love the flexibility, easy to drive and did not need to get towing licence. My alternative would have been to upgrade from a little run around car to something capable of towing, a...

Thank you, even if it is a bit more sedate looks lovely to see from between the ears 😊

Hi Could anyone recommend a good equestrian centre that offers Trekking in Cotswolds. I'm reasonably experienced rider; own horses for last 10years I'll be based I'm Stratford-upon-Avon but will have a rental car. Thank you

My boy is a bit weird and doesn't seem to mind wormers at all, just goes nom nom nom and wonders if I have any other treats :)

Usually showtunes and also some random made up songs. If he is worried or on his toes 'Do you hear the people sing' from Les Mis is my go to song.

Thank you, was great fun, definitely going to join my local hunt :)

Hi Hope you don't mind me joining in here :) I have had my lovely boy over a year but didn't really know him well enough or feel confident enough to take him hunting last year. Things have been going well recently and have built up a really good bond so decided to take him on Wednesday...

Well done, you were brilliant, so proud of you and you were a great teammate :) Fence 16 was slope/bank down and up with water in middle :)

Today was fantastic fun!! Love our horses they are like the perfect team! They were loving jumping around together today. Monday will be so much fun :) :) Thank you for doing pairs with me too! It makes my boy so much braver having his girl lead the way :) Riders great friends, horses great...

No idea either, but I find (once I have a nice active walk) I get a nicer walk to canter transition than trot to canter and the canter feels nicer too from start.

I have an Appaloosa X (not sure exactly what with though). He is just so much fun, he is cheeky, can be stubborn and have silly moments but he is a total sweetheart, has a lovely jump, will give you his all when he knows you are in charge and try his hoof at anything. He is a great all rounder...

My boy is an Appy X and pretty much white apart from his spots so I bathe him night before and wash tail. I use quik silver shampoo, but any of those kind of shampoos seem good. I use carr and day stain master works wonders but I always rinse off with hose and brush. A lot of stain removers...

Agree with lots of transitions. My guy was a total numpty on the lunge but I did a couple lessons how to lunge with my RI which helped a lot. I do stuff like have markers and will ask him to walk or trot etc at certain ones and like walk for 5 strides, trot a couple circles, walk for 5, trot...

Racesafe is comfy I think. I came back to riding almost 2 yrs ago after 10+ years break. I got Racesafe after few months. I pretty much wore it for everything and is only in last couple months I don't for flatwork sessions as I am starting to do some dressage shows and don't wear for that...

My Appy needs eye protection and for his pink nose too and has the KM ELite space mask. Comfy padded velcro straps and stays on well. For a horse who is a bit fussy with his ears and head my chap is not in the slightest bit bothered getting it on or wearing it. I really recommend it :) He...
