okay thanks everyone, she's been weaned about a month, think I will just feed her haylage and then maybe a handful of hard feed if she's needs it 😊

Hi, we've just bought an 8 month old filly, she's been on good grass and is looking nice and chunky. When she comes home my other horses will probably be on haylage by then so is good quality haylage ok for her or is hay better? Also what kind of hard feed should she be getting? Out grass is...

Hi, I'm in Scottish Borders but I got a horse of mpf horse talent in Durham, Christina is great and she has some fab horses, I'm sure she would find a nice quality competition horse for you.

i don't have any hills near me, there are some in the village but we haven't been down yet, we've not been around much traffic either. I am planning on getting him out on the roads.

I don't have any great hills which doesn't help either, I will try going round fields twice and mixing it up a bit. There is a village and lots of better roads I could be hacking on but he has just started hacking on his own and I'm always worried about stupid drivers, especially with a young...

Hi, I have a 5yo (in May) ISH that is very fat, he is a chunky horse but is looking very fat right now, he doesn't have a lot of grass and is coming in at night. The question is how much work would you want your 5yo to do like fast work, schooling, roadwork etc? He is hacked out 4 times a week...

No she's always had a stiff left side but since she has been doing more work it has gotten worse

Hi, I had the physio out this morning for my mare because of bad stiffness/soreness on her left side neck/jaw and she said that it looks like it could be the TMJ. I have noticed her locking her jaw and being unable to bend and flex her poll/neck and dropping her food etc. I've got the vet coming...

My mare sounds very similar, she is a complete angel. Has an amazing jump and beautiful movement. She is quite short with a wide back. She is black with 4 white socks and a white stripe, I've not seen many black ones either. Did you get her from a dealer? I've not seen many horses by windgap...

Thanks for reply, I had the t8 dressage saddle but it just didn't sit right on her, the back of the saddle was still up in the air when girth was tightened and the front was to far on her shoulders, I tried wide and extra wide gullets and it's still not right, it's a shame because it's a...

I've tried a few different dressage saddles (kieffer,thorowgood,ideal elizabeth and a country eloquence). My horse doesn't have much of a wither and is quite wide, she has big shoulders and quite a lot of muscle and a short back. Every saddle I've tried just doesn't seem the right shape. I can't...

It's optimum time I think

She is gorgeous, mines is 4 in May and is just starting to go out for small hacks, we haven't cantered yet on lunge or ridden but we aren't in any rush and he is still quite babyish, hopefully within the next few months we will be cantering and thinking about popping some jumps depending on how...

That's great thank you

Hi, I'm going to hopefully be joining british showjumping next January and was wondering what category I would be in for membership? I turn 16 on 3rd January so would I be an associate member? Also, do you enter on the day of the competition? Thanks 😊
