You can compete unaffiliated but not BE, not sure about BD.

Thanks for the replies, Auslander your story is so sad but Alf is very lucky to have such a considerate andpatient owner.

Friend is going to see a horse on Sunday that had a suspensory operation 18 months ago on both hinds. She's been sound since and done some low level sj and dressage. It rings alarm bells for me because I've heard so many horror stories about PSD. Horse is 7 years old and priced at £2500 and...

Am looking for livery in the Byfleet, Weybridge area and The Mill has been suggested. I have never heard of this yard does anyone know much about it? I'm looking for part livery with occassional exercise (when away with work) for my 17 year old TB. Thanks in advance.

Yes exactly this! Belive me, I know the people in my post DO NOT have private income!

Do some people afford their horses? I work full time in a good job and can just about afford to have one horse on assisted DIY. I know a family of people who rent a small yard and have 6 horses of their own, they live in a council house and none of them work! I know another girl who doesn't...

My toes froze last Sunday when out for a 1.5 hour hack in my leather long boots so i'm looking for something warmer. Got quite specific criteria: *Need to be long boots as want to wear them out to the field which can get very muddy as on clay *Must cope with being washed off with hose fairly...

They never replied to my application either and I followed it up with a call. I'm pretty sure nothing on my application would have raised alarm bells other than the fact I am down south.

I'd walk away, I think it sounds like too much hassle for a horse that isn't yours.

I looked at their site but a friend said she doesn't think they would rehome to Surrey as too far away. Anyone know if this is the case?

I'm an experienced rider/horse owner and my dream is to re-home an ex-racer with a view to doing dressage, fun rides and a bit of jumping but probably not particularly competitively. I've had a TB before but he hadn't raced so i'm looking for success or non success stories. Ideally I would...

I'd go for an all round balancer. Baileys No14 Low Cal is brilliant and you can feed it on its own so they don't get anything extra. Progressive Earth which is an ebay shop do amazing supplements called Pro Balance and Pro Hoof but you would need to feed a chaff or fast fibre with this as it is...

Has anyone been? I've got the dressage bug after years of hooning about the countryside and am looking for somewhere to improve my riding until I'm ready to buy a new horse. I'm based in Kingswood so any other suggestions within a 20 mile radius also considered.

I think his head is actually quite pretty might be worth a look as he looks like a nice type but i would agree with the others and take him back to basics.
