RDS have two sportsman classes for amateurs- light/medium and heavy weights hunter l think they are. Otherwise there is large riding horse if over 15.2 , or small riding riding horse if under 15.2h, Although other more experienced members might say more what type she is best suited to! She's...

Hi, is the seat saver still available? Thanks

Heike Holstein is brilliant,

I tie the haynet to the middle partition, using the brackets that breast bar go in that aren't being used, he has one in the front too but l put one in middle too after hes in as he seems to prefer that way too. Haynet has to have pretty long rope though to go between the brackets on each side...

My young ID suddenly did this, l just took it back a step to loading at home every day -walking through first, then built up to standing with a haynet for few minutes, to bit longer and then a short trip. No time pressure and didn't make a big deal, just some food and patience and he loaded...

My mare has very bad abcess and is able to go out every day with her woofwer poultice boot. I either use animalintex and some vet wrap under it but then moved to nappy under it as it burst out coronary band too. Hoof is pretty dry when she comes in and then fresh poultice over night. Make sure...

I wouldn't travel in a bridle as too much to get caught in and break it, and then arrive with a broekn bridle! put it on when you arrive while he's still in the trailer, easy to do when he can't go anywhere! And then wrap up reins and lunge rope on with gloves for unloading and letting him have...

Equerry conditioning mash. Have 3 oldies all over 30 on it and they are thriving on it.

Instead of pinning back partition, take it out altogether and just use front one. I have to do this with one of mine and works fine, although is in the 510 so the bigger trailer

Love reading your updates, sounds like you're making fantastic progress and fair play for sticking it out to get fit enough and put the work in to get that amazing feeling of when it all comes together :) Now you've got the buzz of jumping there'll be no stopping you, galloping and xc next !! If...

I have one who's very bad to shoe but then he's not great at other things either ie clipping, vey visits, worming. He gets about 4 sections sedalin to shoe him in a little bit of feed (can't syringe him) which takes the edge off him but he's still very afraid and I'm glad to have an...

Love your updates IrishRegulus - look forward to the next one :)

Novice isn't overly big - about 90 I'd say. I wouldn't go back to tatts though - absolutely crazy last time I went which was a few years ago- sending them out at 20 sec intervals and they did'nt even have time to run singles class. I did pairs with my sister and we picked up about 10 people on...

Bel Air Equestrian centre and hotel in Ireland

You're probably better off riding indoors with the weather we've been having - although was lovely out this morning so won't complain too much. :) You will find the rising trot gets easier as you get fitter and your muscles start to get used to it- you shouldn't feel like you're having to make...
