Agree with this, too. But our GB young riders are just that. Young. Often they are let down with older, incompetent staff who should be able to guide and advise these potential superstars. Surely we all want the likes of LC and others to fly, and lift medals for team GBR. They just need t be...

I have just logged back in and am utterly amazed at the response to my post. Thank you for all your replies. Thanks also for the private messages. I see there are over 5000 forum views. All this tells me that this is a very emotive subject, and although I have inexperience in the equestrian...

Fully intend to tomorrow. Just trying to see if anyone can offer any experience, forums are often a great way to do this. Started another post to clarify my request. Many thanks, signing out now.

Thank you all for your replies. I appreciate your help. I am just trying to gather some information to help with my next steps, ad phone calls tomorrow. I have learnt some useful things tonight, thank you.

I am new to the forum , but hope some of you can help me, and help my daughter. Do you have any experience with dealing with ACAS ? I am seriously concerned about pay conditions in the equestrian world. Have you taken advice from ACAS? Did it help you? Did you get a financial settlement? How...

Thank you to everyone who has replied to this post. I think I need to be more specific, so will post again. Please continue to share your thoughts with me, if you have anything to add. Many thanks

Thank you for your reply. It is much appreciated. If anyone can give me experiences with dealing with ACAS in equestrian disputes, I would be very grateful.

She agreed to a very low wage! She is young, and this is her first job. This is one of her equestrian heros. But I have found out that you cannot waive your legal rights. Doesn't matter - you could work for the Queen, and you still have rights to minimum wage rates.

She does get a very goo deal. It is good to hear that some yards are so well run. Thank you for your reply.

Thank you all. She is NOT an apprentice, there is no agreement in place. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Does anyone have experience with ACAS... good or bad in the equestrian industry?

Many thanks.

Thank you. I am happy there is nothing illegal with her hours per se. She is not afraid of hard work, I assure you. I cannot express enough that this is coming from me, not her. My concern is that she is paid 74p per hour for such hard work. Disclaimer : HARD WORK NEVER HURT ANYONE!

Thank you, very much. I will contact CAB. No, she wasn't an apprentice. She had no livery, but she did have accommodation provided. Many thanks for your help.

Thank you, that is really helpful. I will look into that.

I wish it was. No wind up, I assure you.
