Note that they only 'think' it was the bean in his sheath causing him to (supposedly) bolt; they probably haven't braved getting back on him afterwards to find out!

Will the new person running it not want to have just some bog-standard liveries? Surely filling an entire yard with 'rehab liveries' will be nigh on impossible (not to mention really labour intensive)? Most places I know of offering rehab liveries only have a small amount in at a time (usually...

I don't budget it or keep track - but I'm quite limited in what I can do in terms of time (I work every so many weekends, and my slightly unpredictable hours mean I don't book lessons for after work either) so if there's something on that I want to do, and SuperPony's owners haven't got plans...

This is good news that we probably don't have to join BD (because we're terrible at dressage!) - will just have to check re the RoR champs but hopefully they have a license for it too. Now to find some music - 'Don't stop me now' matches his trot (and his general approach to dressage tests)...

Given I was quoted £1700 to have my tooth sorted out by a private dentist, I wouldn't necessarily say it's anything different. Ironically it was due to being kicked in the face by a client's horse; the client hasn't paid their (considerably smaller than that) vet bill yet. Plus horse's teeth...

Given Daft TB has not quite managed to retire yet, and currently feels quite good, I've been debating having a bash at dressage to music with him. Our RC holds unaff music tests, but the main aim would be the RoR champs. As this would all be unaffiliated, do I still need to register with BD...

He looks like a dream to ride XC 🤩 I used to lamb at Thoresby estate, it's nice seeing it with XC jumps everywhere

She doesn't even appear to look back to check the dog is okay... What an entitled b****, the type that gives horse riders a bad name. I bet the dogs owners didn't even know what to do - it's entirely possible they were calling the dog back towards them (given the dog is running across the beach...

Olympic dressage rider: 'Your sitting trot isn't as bad as I thought it would be' 🤣

First XC schooling of the year on grass! Ground was great (Somerford), pony was great! Attempting to plan an eventing calendar for this year now...

We've not had more reactions than normal (using prequenza) - we get the odd one here-and-there, as you'd expect in a 15 vet practice. Just to try and allay any fears people may have! If your own horse has a history of vaccine reactions (we find they are often repeat offenders) have a chat to...

Very interesting re the WFFS article! Hopefully we don't get too many people trying to breed carriers of it else that will be a minefield in a few years time. One horse owner-breeders will do their best to avoid breeding a carrier to another carrier, but I would have my doubts as to whether the...

RC area SJ this weekend, but due to some bizarre organisational thing (the way they have ordered the classes - I am meant to be jumping consecutive heights) I am due to have SIX hours between my SJ rounds. So we'll probably jump the first class then go home, which is disappointing.

In my experience ex-racehorses tend to be one of two things: 1) tough as old boots, or 2) fall apart straight away I think I'd be more tempted to buy one that had a few more racing miles on the clock but held up to it now, than something that was thoroughly unsuccessful and left early. Some...

After the day at work I've had yesterday I'm tempted to apply 😅 Has anyone seen regarding Frickley not hosting the Brigante Cup final? Hoping they can find an alternative venue, but seems to be the opposite way round to how all other venues have gone when faced with unaffiliated vs BE
