Thank you all!

My instructor has suggested that I should perhaps start using spurs for flat work/dressage. I am new to spurs (returner after 15 years off, and back riding for 2 years now) and was wondering which I should go for. Was assuming Prince of Wales, but thought I'd check, and secondly I school with...

Pony is fully insured, friend I think is crossing the Ts and dotting the Is just in case. Personally as she'll be on the lead rein I don't think she needs it, however thought I'd better look into it.

Hello, I need to get rider insurance for my daughter who will be 4 next month as she'll be doing some riding on a lead rein on a friend's super reliable pony, but friend would feel more comfortable if my little one had her own insurance. I can only seem to find insurance for children over...

I'm in need of new long boots or boots and chaps. I think I've decided to go with Ariat jodhpur boots and chaps but am having a sizing issue. I currently have a very battered pair of Concord half chaps and was wanting to go with the Close Contact ones in chocolate. However, my current Ariat...

Completely appreciate what you are saying, and I'm sure it's symptomatic of the London effect and the cost of livery nearby, but "sane sensible types" that I've been offered to share were looking anywhere between £40-£90 per week for 1/2/3 days per week plus contribution to shoes etc.. Have come...

Thanks for all the advice. I used to work at a livery yard as a teen, so the care side isn't completely alien, however of course incompletely rusty. I've been reading lots and lots and would like to do a new owners course too. Realistically my youngest starts at school next September, so that...
