    Weekend plans!

    2nd US dressage competition for Pepperponi and I. Once again the temperature is forecast to be around 30 degrees and stormy - sweaty dressage is not my (nor P's) favourite!!!

    Medium trot or lack there of!

    Took my 6 yr old to do his first novice and elementary tests yesterday and over the moon to come away with two wins at 64.2 and 62.8% respectively (unafil). Comments were very fair and constructive :) Now we struggle with getting a true medium trot and I don't want to just 'run' as it flattens...

    Anyone transported a horse from the UK to USA?

    There is a possibility I may be relocating to the USA with work and I'd really like to take my horse too. I know this is costly but can anyone provide me with their experiences? Cost/ effect on horse/ how horse settled in?

    Non BD member - Affilated Comps?

    im even more confused lol (but it doesnt take much!) I guess I'll need to call them - I am an associate member already, not bothered about qualification really, just want to see how we compare in an affiliated comp

    Non BD member - Affilated Comps?

    Sorry -this is a really silly question! Can i, as a non member, compete in Prelim classes which are qualifiers? (I accept that I wont be eligible to qualify for Regionals) - I cant make sense of the rules or the guidance on the BD site - as it seems to suggest there should be a qualifying and...

    Fly rugs-overwhelming choice. Shortlist opinions appreciated

    premier equine bug buster or SI hoody withstand a hell of a beating and are still intact - even better if you can pick one up in a sale!

    Saddlers- specifically those who stock 2nd hand saddles

    Can anyone recommend anyone other than Saddles Direct (they dont have anything suitable)? Im looking for someone to come out and fit my horse for a dressage saddle and dont really want to have to buy a brand new one until he's finished growing! Sadly our lovely Ryder Legacy isnt fitting...

    Dressage Saddles for big shoulders

    Thanks SBloom - he's not massively short in the back - he'd take a 18in no problem but I'd swim about in it a bit. I'm just very aware that his shoulders are being restricted when cantering at the moment. I was keen on the Albion as I understand it has a tree which can be altered, especially...

    Dressage Saddles for big shoulders

Its becoming too restrictive in ths shoulder and I'm on the look out for a replacement. Saddler is coming out shortly to see if the flocking can be altered but Im not confident this is...
