I'm looking for somewhere to improve my flatwork and make my jumping more accurate whilst I don't have a horse this winter. I'm planning on buying again early next year for the summer and hunt season but don't want to get out of riding this winter! I can't really loan or part loan as I'm a dairy...

Hi I am looking at getting a stock saddle for my cob, we are dairy farmers and need something like this to use when working her around cattle. The problem is...I can't afford to spend £1500 on a saddle, and I can't seem to find any proper advice on what "size" to get to fit. She is very wide and...

Has anyone got Danny Downton's number? I thought I had it but can't find it anywhere!

Is anyone going to threapwood tomorrow and has a spare space for transport? Mine has just let me down and i really want to go!! Will Pay!!

Bugger!! Yeah it seems impossible to find one, at the moment i just get dropped off and left lol its no fun on your own!!

I totally agree, although i wouldnt feed oats cos it would blow his brains with excitement, theres so much crap out there these days and its bloody expensive!!!

I would definatley get it cut about now, the grass will be very poor otherwise. The key way to get it to grow well is to cut it or graze it (with cows/sheep) The best thing to do if you really dont want to keep the hay is contact your local farmer, and see what they think, if its poor quality...

Yeah with using the lunge line, you have got to be ultra confident you wont let go...bridle idea is great i just use a head piece and bit, easy to get on quickly (less fussing for horse)

Hi people im writing again because i still cant find someone to join me going to shows etc. My liveries are useless and no one wants to do anything. Is there anyone out there who wants to buddy up for some stuff this summer, either with your transport or i know a good guy who will hire his box...

I hate to say it but i agree, i think you didnt leave it long enough, my 17hh eventer is barefoot and its great for him but its not instant at all, it takes a good 6 months or so to get hardened and you would def be better with hoof boots when they first come off. The other think your farrier...

Hi, my 17hh WB has been barefoot for 2 years now and we compete and everything, its really nothing to worry about, its great for the horse and much easier and cheaper for you.. Here are some web links to check out, they should be useful but in the mean time i would look at having someone...

I deliberatley bring mine in during the day and out at night, because the sugars in the grass are much lower at night so its a good time for fat / lamanitic horses to be out. Although...thats not very fair of your livery yard - you must be doing a lot of mucking out for the summer months!!

Im on a nice yard near Bangor-is-y-coed, would that be too far for you?

I may have now got transport but still need someone who wants to come along? Instructor available too

All the suggestions are good, you could also try leading him with a lunge line, just so you have some room to manouver when he goes, and you can still hang on to him! My boy has the same sort of problem , he rears to tell you he doesnt want to come in, iv got tough and he seems to have gotten...
