Damm - it would let me in yesterday and not it says that it is only available in certain countries. Tried laptop and IPad. Anyone got any great ideas on how to look like im in an allowed country? thanks

Hi, hoping someone on here can help. We have our own yard and horses plus a couple of liveries. Most of the work is completed by myself, husband and mother but we are considering getting someone to work a couple of hours a week to give us a hand so we can have one day a week on "light"...

Hi my husband has just started doing some whipping in and has bought himself a set of hound couples so he can catch and lead any stray hounds. Does anyone know how they are attached to the saddle as I am at a loss and there is no obvious clip? Thank you

Hi We have a relatively new lorry (manufacturer is 5hr drive away so not practical) and over the past year the special light weight rubber that is on the wall keeps coming away. It is more like a thin polystyrene rather than rubber to keep the weight down. We have tried all the different...

Hi We have a small family run part livery yard in west Horsley on the Surrey Hills. Miles and miles of unlimited hacking, large stables, flat fields (individual or pair turnout) all year round turn out. Just 8 boxes run by myself and husband. School with jumps, own instructors welcome etc...

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I have had my horse for the last 2 months. All went really well (well if you count having to re-train a 10yr old to actually lowering his head far enough so I could see where I was going). He had been used as a hack occasional eventer until now...

Hi Could anyone recommend lights for my arena? We do not have power to the Arena and it is 25 x 45 to be used for flatwork and lunging. Can anyone recommend any solar lights that actually work each night for about 1.5hrs each night during the winter. Or can we run decent ones off a car...

Nik I think you are right with it running as sections - I looked at the results for last year and that looks like what they have done in the past. Feeling slightly sick now - just worked out that we will need to be up at yard by 4am to start getting ready as giant pony is out at night and...

I am - a total novice on a giant who has only competed twice indoors where he qualified (fluke). Not great preparation as he had an operation which meant he hasnt even been out in lorry since then:eek: Jumped there many many years ago and now getting very nervous. I am assuming the Prelim...

Hi Thank you for the link. No problems at the moment as I dont own it as yet, but I know the girl that currently has it struggles to stop him from doing his mega trot when asking for canter. He seems really nice type just need to get used to his paces. I have always had WBs or ISH with...

Bump - or is it impossible to do?

Hi, has anyone had much success at re-training a trotter (looks like ISH rather than a light weight TB type, but not cob) to be an allrounder and able to do a decent dressage test? I have plenty of patience but at the end of the day, I want to compete at unaffiliated events and dressage.

Thanks, about to get surfing on internet for these. Like the sound of the numed made ones. Now just to decide on colour for a huge ginger - although better find out what is on offer before I get too excited.

Hoping someone else out there with a seriously large horse can help? I have a 18.1 ID with a new dressage saddle - mono flap, the saddle is 17.5 but very long in length (down his sides). Problem is that none of my normal thin dressage numnah's fit as if I cant put the girth straps through a...

Hi I have had him out a couple of times, and have always found him helpful and observant. When it was tipping down with rain on one visit he left me with a saddle to try (it fitted horse but I hadn't sat on it) and a week later came back as I didn't like it and we tried another. He is good...
