The cheque thing is always an issue as I don't have a cheque book on my personal account any more & the only thing I ever need to pay for by cheque is horse show entries. Keep the feedback coming & get voting (preferably for me Christina Jones as the marketing director choice!)

Great feedback all & yes the tech side is a major frustration - the never ending website delays & the sending cheques certainly don't make life easy as members. I'm not the popular choice in the BD hierarchy but bring strong marketing tech skills & the ability to get major projects launched on...

Billow farm hire all their schools, the indoor has mirrors. Also Burrows Court Farm & I think you can hire the schools at Kites Nest Farm (the old Aderro Dressage Centre) - the indoor there has mirrors, can't remember re outdoor.

I've seen far too much of my vets so far in 2014, am in the midst of a very lame horse & we are still no closer to getting a precise diagnosis after all the routine nerve blocks etc. But my vets have been amazing - Wessex Equine - they are a newish practice & originally I gave them a try as...

Hi Dianchi, Thanks for the feedback & I agree with you. I'll hold my hands up and say I haven't seen the detailed breakdown of membership funds from the different categories of members but it is certainly good marketing (& normally economic) sense to keep your existing customers rather than...

Hello all, I know there are a lot of British Dressage members on here & you might have clocked the news story on the front page of the BD website about nominations for the BD board. I'm running for the position of marketing director in the upcoming elections. As you will see from my profile...

I guess the lesson is if you want decent quality & for it to actually turn up go to snuggy hoods!

From the Gambia Horse & Donkey Trust facebook page - only takes a minute, so please vote if you can :) Thanks to everyone who has already voted, we are now only 12 points behind the leaders of the competition. Those votes represent a difference of thousands of pounds! Is there anyone else you...

Just watched the channel 4 dispatches program on celeb endorsements on social media & how it should be declared openly when a celeb is promoting a product and being paid for it - even if the payment is free product rather than hard cash. As horse people & social media users how do you feel...

oops the link in the first post doesn't work, this is the correct one https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1U_yVXRRNiJwl6aMDrbCF64r7W_iuRSrftr9O4Dy4jEg/viewform

Thanks so much for all the snaffle bit donations so far for our campaign to help the horses of The Gambia but I want to collect even more! Can you help spread the word about our campaign by displaying a poster & flyers at your livery yard etc? If you can then I'll get some straight in the...

for all N.Bristol / S.Glos folk we've had a section of our fence cut out last night, where it borders on to neighbours land - the stock fence has been neatly removed in a panel but rails left up for now so not easy to notice. Presume it's either to get dogs in/horses out or make it easier to...

R&J Equine are kindly acting as a collection point at the Somerford Premier League show this weekend, so if you have any unwanted snaffle bits & are attending, please bring them along. The bits are being collected for The Gambia Horse & Donkey Trust and there have been more collection points...

I've taken my own foal and a few youngsters from a friends stud - sometimes we were delighted with the scores, sometimes not, but regardless of that, for all the youngsters it was their first outing & I can't think of a better introduction. It's very calm, everyone there is used to young...

Hi Dizzy, there are more collection points being arranged daily - where's your closest saddlery & I'll ask them if they'll consider being a collection point.
