    HELP-grass livery desperately needed (or does anyone want two companions)

    I am becoming increasingly desperate to find grass livery (ideally with someone who can check them every day) for my two retired mares. Does anyone know of anywhere around the Crawley/ East Grinstead area.. .distance wouldn't be too much of an issue if they could be checked! Thank you

    jumping saddles with wide gullets??

    Have you tried Balance Saddles? I have had my horses in balance saddles for years and really notice the difference in any horse i ride them in. They are designed to allow the horse's shoulders to move properly and fit the widest horses. (we use them on anything from fine TBs to big ID's). My...
