    What exactly is parelli, and why does everyone seem to hate it?

    Unfortunately it is associated with those who are too frightened to ride their horses and don't have enough experience on how to handle them. The marketing has been firmly aimed at this group. The basics are very much good handling practices but for me that is where my liking of Pirelli ends. A...

    Hairy numnahs?

    If you wanted people to use this each time they washed a numnah then I've any more than £2 per item otherwise it would be just as easy to send it to a professional cleaning company.

    Does such a person exist?

    Mud stained breeches! HELP!

    Lazy youngster

    You can easily sharpen them up to the leg. If she has been out of work for a while she may need her strength improved. The napping does not seem too bad and is something I would expect from a youngster. If you are looking for quiet and she is then attitude is what I would look for. You can work...

    what do you think this is and would it concern you?

    Personally I would be looking to change my vet. It maybe that their first course of action would be antibiotics and bute but without looking at it it is difficult to tell. But at least you did send some photos and they have looked at these. Don't panic because I am sure it will be ok and most...

    Melanomas

    Maybe nothing but if grown rapidly it is worth checking it out with the vet. Many horses live perfectly well with melanomas but always worth checking if the suddenly change.

    Good safe XC courses near to Stafford?

    Rudge does not have many smaller fences they are 90cm or bigger. You could also try Lincomb it is the otherside of Kidderminster. Fab course plenty of fences at all heights, 3 waters, well worth the extra drive.
