Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on these two exams' Care sections. I've got my 2 Care but I've not had enough bum-in-saddle time to be anywhere near ready to do the ridden sections. So this year while I'm still ride training, being one of clever ideas, I...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has Sherwood Rackham boots and whether they drop in height? My legs are a little shorter than the measurement of them and if they were to drop I would probably get away with it. Thank you

Has anyone found how to do this, I just saw a demo but I still can't quite work it out. If there are any videos out there it would be fabby.

I'm sure I've seen a picture of Totilas in a crystal browband... maybe it's just my imagination. I didn't think I would like them to be honest but some can actually be quite tasteful! If you like it, go for it!!! A bit of bling ain't no bad thing. (Sorry :D )

Hey erc! I was there too!!! Did you get your results yet? I've still had nothing. Hope you passed with flying colours

Stupid question I am sure but I would like to know if I'm just going insane! Is there any difference in the check and the herringbone hacking jacket or is it just a case of personal preference or fashion? Any do's and don'ts or other little bits of info you can pass on? Thanks in advance!

It's for my BHS exam so I don't know what colour horse I will get. My last hacking jacket fit me when I was 6... might be a bit small now

((positive vibes to you both))

I would definitely agree about spending some time over in the places you would be interested in living. No point in upping and offing if you discover you hate the place. Also, make sure you have enough money to support yourself, I knew a family who moved to Spain only to return six months...

I was thinking that this could turn into a handy little thread for those little faux pas that could so easily be avoided. My questions is what colour hacking jacket should I get if I have a black velvet riding hat? Are there any no-no's? Thank you in advance!

Had my old girl (before she went to sleep and didn't wake up) living out with my gelding. The only time we had an issue was when she came into season and wouldn't leave him alone! Never a bite or kick though, she'd just squeal a lot and wave her bum in his face. Poor boy didn't know what she...

Was really heavy rain this morning but it's brightened up, bet the ground is a quagmire tho... can't really tell from the office I'm in Caithness btw (go as far north on the mainland as you can get without getting your feet wet!)

Yup, guilty as charged guvnor! Also a bit of one-upmanship with my dad over training animals, he taught his black lab to give him a kiss... so I taught my horse the same... Why does it feel like a guilty confession??? My old mare and I used to play tig, it all started when I called her a...

Ditto to the above Never had a problem and used them since before the interwebs were popular!

Is it just me that sees a line linking the two horseshoe shaped marks? Maybe it's just my eyes but I'm almost seeing an old fashioned 'g'. Could just be the photo.
