    Please note The Suttleworth Collection have the Avro Vulcan displaying at 1400 ( 2pm) for 10 minutes on Sunday the 5th of July. This is a bigger and noisier aircraft than those we normally fly and so may come as bit of a surprise if you are out riding! We have contacted local horse owners we...

    Uni or horses ?! Any advice, contacts or experiences? Help!

    I am just finishing my degree having left school at 16 with no A levels to do horses as a WP on an event yard. I was convinced I was going to be the next Pippa Funnell etc etc. Needless to say I am definitely not the next pippa (sadly) and a year or so of being someone else's skivvy made me...

    Clifton Cognac sale

    No he did compete for half of last season, his ban was lifted in July I think. Cognac hasn't done anything since 2013 though. I doubt there is anything wrong with the horse. Its a big risk to take advertising a horse that publicly on your website, putting your name to it etc etc if its bu*****...

    Clifton Cognac sale

    Reading between the lines of the advert it would appear thAt the owners are needing to pay of some of their legal bills pretty swiftly! It also doesn't sound like the horse will go beyond 2* therefore he's not really an awful lot of use to a pro and would be better suited giving a YR or Junior...

    Working Pupils. Experiences?

    I was a working pupil for the 2011/2012 event seasons on a top yard. I wasn't paid. I had one horse there for free, I paid for shoes, entries and feed supplements. I also received free accommodation, no bills but did have to buy my own food. I worked 6 days a week, started at 7:30am, an hour for...

    Fun who would you send your horse to

    Izzy Taylor, Gemma Tattersall or Harry Meade for me, or all of them if money was no object and I could find the horse power!

    Havens Slobbermash - Amounts to feed??

    Slobbermash is great stuff, I feed it to my 16.3hh warmblood novice eventer over the winter (October to April ish). I use it to keep the weight on him and because it's very high in oil and fed as a mash it's very digestible which is perfect for mine, as colicking (usually over Christmas week or...

    De Niro Boots

    I purchased a truly beautiful pair of De Niro competition boots at Badminton yesterday, they didn't come with any care instructions and I'm wondering if anyone could offer me some advice on the best way to clean them? They are gorgeous soft leather and I'm worried just ordinary saddle soap might...
