    Agricultural Tenancy Land

    If they have a 1986 tenancy your chance of getting it back is ‘bugger all’ they get 2 generations of inheritance and if they don’t want to give it up it is almost impossible to make them do so and if you can it will involve an expensive legal battle. The best option is to speak to the farmer...

    Private sellers v Dealers

    I’ve bought from both - never had an issue from either - I have seen dodgy horses from both private sellers and dealers though it’s really a case of buyer beware. If you don’t know what you are doing then get someone who does to go with you and have the horse vetted… and as much as possible...

    Making a lightweight cob neat enough to compete - help?

    I’ve done up to ad medium on a proper hairy complete with flowing mane and feathers - the flying feathers made his extensions look bigger and more flashy - I got really good marks for them … but they do all need to be properly clean tbh - much harder to present than clipping the whole horse out...

    Pool noodles…

    Have just clicked with someone’s algorithm (is that the right terminology) that does in hand work sometimes using a pool noodle instead of a whip… (she also uses a whip too) now I have done in hand for years now with a whip as a pointer aid (I can’t remember the last time I used a whip sharply...

    I have relapsed…

    But it would get the pale yellow/ green filthy so I’m trying to avoid that 😂
