I think its hilarious! I saw the original post by the guy and apparently he knew there was a gate round the corner so threw himself off before he met it!

At our yard I think the rules work quite well - we have a small indoor probably a similar size to the OP's. We have a booking system but you can still ride with someone if they have booked it - up to 3 horses at a time. We try and avoid other people's lessons but as the outdoor has no lights...

Try a book called the Chimp Paradox - I would highly recommend everyone on the planet reads this book! But it will certainly help you if you have anxious feelings in any walk of life - not just riding. Edit just to say - Well done by the way for asking for help - it shows a kind of braveness...

Thanks for the reply's everyone - Total Madgeness I feel like this sounds very similar to my situation. I think you and Sukistokes2 have given me hope that I can be comfortable on a horse again! FestiveFuzz - Unfortunately not I don't really know anywhere where I can do something like that, of...

I'm really not sure what to do next so was hoping for some help : On the ground my horse is the easiest donkey ever to handle and he doesn't have a bad bone in him.. Ridden he is slightly lazy but responsive, could probably go out and win at elementary, finds walk to canter, counter canter...

Please can I have it too! I'm guilty of having a particularly mouldy market harborough that I have neglected :(

Thank you! Now I just need to fihure out how to weigh it! :p

Thanks everyone! I wasn't sure if there was a "done thing"! Looks like bubble wrap it is :)

I have just sold a saddle on Ebay! Wohoo! :) But now I need to post it! Has anyone successfully used a particular courier in the past? Do I wrap it? HELP PLEASE!

What are the rubber ring for!?! I have no idea! :o

Sunshine tour last year was fabulous! Great atmosphere and facilities - I would definitely recommend :) There were stewards in the dressage warm up who controlled things quite well but I cant say for SJ I'm afraid.

Bruce from Blackdown is absolutely fabulous - I would trust him to do a vetting any day.

I have just bought a Liveryman Classic Trimmer from Amazon - I have to say I'm super impressed. It is really really quiet and I've managed to clip the bit of neck that my gelding refused to have done by normal clippers. They have dealt with his legs fine as well, they are surprisingly powerful...

They don't have any left in 6'3 ! I keep getting emails from them about the amazing sale and it feels like they are rubbing salt on the wound aha!

I'm lucky enough to be on 5 day livery, and I also have a sharer otherwise I would have no chance!
