Was thinking about this thread the other day. Hope everything is ok OP.

I didn't think bikes were allowed to be ridden on a public footpath.

Typical! It's a shame as I put it on and he was just like ahh I love this! It's .25 smaller than his last bit and although it doesn't look too bad I don't want it to pinch him with the loose rings 😬

Can anyone suggest a good site to buy a Nathe from? I got given a 5.5 loose ring with a middle link to try and my horse loved it but i think it is a tiny bit small so trying to find a 5.75/6 inch and no luck so far. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks faracat. That is indeed the colour of my boy. He is going to be covering for the first time next year so hoping he passes his colour on.

Faracat- my stallion is a very strongly dappled golden buckskin. His sire, grandsire and great grandsire were all the same. Is there anything in the genes that passes the dapples on along with the colour?

I LOVE my equipe dressage saddle. Got it new in June, both my horses move better in it than anything else and it has helped my riding 100%. Can you tell I'm a fan? 😉

Didn't bother taking off my(too tight for riding in) waterproof trousers one very rainy day as thought I would only go for a quick hack. Was on my old very reliable horse and all was fine until he put his head down for some very tasty grass, this pulled me forward over the pommel and I couldn't...

Fantastic! I do think that anyone who pulls off riding to Benny Hill so well should have extra marks ;)

And this is my point as to why local people are fighting plans. I quote Dianchi for saying it's too late, well no it's not. Permission has not been granted and first set of plans were refused outright. Permission would never be considered whilst it was a working center hence why shop was...

Those of us who live near Patchetts are fighting tooth and nail to appose any building. Been way too much development in the area as it is and the roads around the area can barely cope. Developers are targeting equestrian centers as the building regulations have been relaxed to 'boost' the...

When I talk to my welsh he often starts flapping his lips at me, it's almost like he's mocking what I'm saying .... 😏 Weirdo welshie.

Nutty as squirrel poo is now one of my favourite phrases 😆

Sage is gorgeous Laura! What height do you expect him to make? He's got a good amount of bone and such a pretty face. Hope you are going to keep him as your next riding pony. Be nice for you to have one without baggage (no offence Herbs!)
