I backed my warmblood when she was almost five and have just started competing her lightly this year under saddle at six. She is much stronger physically and mentally now and is progressing well and confidently. I've had other youngsters that were ready earlier but I bought this one as my...
Very excited to post for the first time in ages on the weekend thread :) I'm taking my young mare to her first ODE at Epworth on Sunday. Only doing the 70cm as:
a) its the first time ever XC over more than the odd log,
b)its the first time doing dressage on grass,
c) we've never jumped a...
Well done! It sounds like a great day all round. I really like Shelford but am jealous of the weather you had - it's been torrential rain the two times I've competed there.
Sorry for late reply and thanks for all the advice. I called SHGB and spoke to Marion (you're all right - she is very helpful!). Good news as Deeva can have a full passport with them (as she does not have an EU passport) and they will also transfer her head stud book status. She lands in the UK...

I moved across to Australia around two years ago with work and have bought a lovely young warmblood whilst I have been here who I have broken and begun competing. We are now moving back to the UK - and she is coming with us! I have...

Unlikely to be our 'forever' saddle but as I reckon she's got at leat two years...
Whereabouts are you? I moved to Perth 18 months ago and made the heartbreaking decision to sell my boy in tHe UK but have bought a lovely young warmblood across here 18 months ago.
I can imagine your boy will be struggling a bit at the moment - moving in the middle of summer is going to make...
I've just moved to Perth about three months ago - and am loving it! Fantastic weather, amazing beaches, great parks and lots of stuff to do. I'd be tempted to stay in the city as public transport is very easy in all directions from there. Let me know if you want anymore info!
I'm selling my Ifor without a partition. It's an older model and had the single partition in which I didn't like and I prefer to travel without a partition anyway. OH got fed up of seeing it in yard and sold it to a scrap man which I could kick him for now its for sale :D There can be a genuine...
