    How much do you pay - South East?

    I'm glad I'm not too far out with what I was thinking - I was thinking of charging around £25/45 mins including travel within 10 miles so good to know I haven't massively overpriced. I know people around uni who are charging £15 for an hour, so just wanted to check what's normal around here...

    How much do you pay - South East?

    So...I am currently training for my BHS Stage 3 CCH (BHSAI), and hoping to start freelancing once I've got it. I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but I'm also an equine degree student.

    Should I just quit?

    I've ridden quite a few ponies that can be quite 'nappy' and if ridden in a group lesson, will just go straight to the back of the ride unless you really do something about it. But my advice is don't let him go back to the yard. If he turns left, for example, towards the yard kick with the leg...

    New pony disaster

    Would it be possible for you to tie him up outside? We've got a few ponies like that - inside they bite, kick, squash you etc but outside they're lovely.

    What Showing class would you put Lucy in ?

    I think she'd do well in working hunter personally. Her conformation is good and as she events then obviously she'll jump rustic fences so she stands a fair chance. Have fun in whichever class you pick!

    Casco helmets?

    Thank you so much! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you getting one. I think I'll be waiting for my birthday too and then I can use the birthday money to buy it! Unfortunately that's another 3 months away :( I can't wait to stop looking like a bowl-head though!

    Casco helmets?

    Hi everyone! I'm looking to buy a new helmet and I really like the look of Casco Champ helmets but the only problem is, I can't find any info on what safety regulations they comply to. My Dad doesn't want me to get anything less than British standards. Does anyone happen to know? Also, I know...
