    Venues, do they think we are mind readers?

    Had a nightmare with this last weekend. I had a wedding to go to in the evening so needed time to "de-horse" - I had to leave the house by 3pm. Found a BD comp to go to, start time for the 4 previous comps was 10-11am with very small entries of 2-5 in each class. HorseMonkey had it down as an...

    what animal movies make you cry?

    Marley & Me ruins my life. It's the bit up on the hill where he's talking to him.. oh god. Homeward Bound, the last 15 minutes of it. Sob every time.

    Who pays for what with a full loan?

    Usually, the loaner will pay for everything. I've got a bit of a unique one with my boy as I pay his insurance still, and his livery - but loaner meets all other costs :) This is because she has him as a massive favour to me.

    Livery yards in Manchester

    Quick update on this.. I'm now definitely not looking around the Irlam area after seeing how bad the traffic is at that junction every day :( I'd be sat in it for a good 40 minutes and I just can't! Sooooo I'm now looking more specifically around East/South Manchester - any suggetsions for...

    Another pacer question

    My pacer is an absolute saint in traffic. Like the first replier said, she is usually a super spooky little witch.. but nothing phases her in traffic. Absolutely nothing.

    Can anyone recommend me a good equestrian artist?

    I had a portrait of my two done by Sally Lancaster, and it is absolutely amazing.

    Livery yards in Manchester

    Hi, I'm looking to move my boy up here to Manchester with me at some point in the near future. I've found a few yards that I'm considering but wondered if anybody could suggest more? The one I'm most keen on at the moment is Mosslands Farm in Irlam, which does DIY for £23.50 a week. I...

    Western riders?

    Me! Started in 2002 with my ex-harness racing pacer mare, the whole English "thing" was blowing her brain so we took her right back to basics and rebacked her Western. She was a super star - never quite excelled at Pleasure (thought she was still racing..) but was brilliant at Trail. Did a...

    Loading? Advise please

    My Welsh Cob is a swine to load as well. He's not frightened and he's not being naughty, he just loses attention very quickly. He does the same thing - quite happily wanders up with his front legs but takes a while to get the backs on and then a bit longer to actually get up the ramp. Once he's...

    Showing people ...l

    I wouldn't have him in a white halter, I prefer to see mares and babies in those personally. I showed my sec D in a riding bridle (hunter style) at Herts County and was told a in hand bridle would be preferred, so that's what i'm basing my opinion on. It looks more professional if you've a...
