I have managed to ride all winter so I'm really not worried about this week. I work outside and the last thing I feel like doing I'd tacking up at 5pm to ride in these freezing temps°

Once you get used to putting them on it only takes a few minutes. I left my horses on a few times over night in the stable and he was fine. I just checked the tightness of the screws before turning out again.

I used shoesecure and they were brilliant!

Just make sure whoever you get to wrap it knows what they are doing. We had 30 odd bales done last year and can't use any as it wasnt wrapped properly and has all gone mouldy. Farmer who wrapped it supposedly had done loads before ��

Could you get in touch with the stallions owner to find out when she intends to ride?? Then avoid those times.

The most basic tests are the intro walk and trot tests. You can get them downloaded from dressage diagrams. If you are confident cantering then the lower prelim tests are good. The only tip I can give you is just enjoy. Don't worry about what anyone else is doing. Please let us know how you get...
