They look like lovely horses. I filled out a form a good 2 and a half years back, and I contacted them with my new details a year ago, but have only ever had confirmation of my details and application, never been contacted about any horses :( I do already have an exracer and two ponies plus...

Don't knock it... by the time you are 30 the chance of an all expenses paid holiday will be a thing of dreams!!! Luckily my Mum is still kind enough to help out financially towards the odd trip away or I wouldn't be going anywhere!! We rent a yard now, so family hols are a thing of the past...

Was there an answer found to what this was/is? :confused:

Just seen some of the other replies. The advisor from the Council at Devon County Show didn't seem to think getting a sign put up would require lots of people to ask... But you do need to do your homework on requesting the correct place, ie crossing. We also informed them of a number of...

OK, I'm not certain, but my Mum looked into this a while back.... I believe you need to contact your local council. We were told these signs could only be placed where there are horses 'crossing' the road. Does the lane you mention have any junctions along it? We didn't pursue the matter...

We have; Miss Molly, stable name Molly- Mum's horse, she came with that name, grey tobiano Jemima, stable name Gem- Daughters's newforest, again came with the name. She is a bay roan. Vincent Van Gogh, stable name Vincent- My boy!! :) He is an exracer so came with the name. Ironically...

Hello! Any news from the vet on the hinds yet? Such a sad story :( I was duped by a dealer years ago when I bought what should have been the most fantastic sports horse for a huge amount of money. After 7 years of battling with the horse I totally destoyed my confidence riding. He was such a...

I don't live in the area anymore, but did my work experience with James years ago :) Great guy, had an extremely full schedule at the time, definitely a popular choice in both the teeth and back areas! He seemed to have a large,loyal client base over a huge area. Hope that infos helps a...

wow zoelouisem I would be impressed too!!!!! Jessica has her own pony, but this is the first time she has dared lead my boy as he is 16.3hh and she finds his size a little daunting. He is a total gentle giant though, Jessica's pony is far more naughty!!!!!!!! btw Jessica is 10 but tall for her age!

Right so I have decided Jessica has now grown sufficiently to be my groom :) SO here she is with the wonderful Vincent Van Gogh, my exracer. We were off shopping yesterday evening, hence the non horsey attire, but after a quick lunge I thought I would make use of the sunshine and give him a...

Thanks, yes I think I am complicating it more than it needs to be and overlooking the obvious!! :) Good idea about the poles too, thanks. Haven't tried walk to canter, will do...

Hi, Just after a quick bit of advice re canter. I have had my boy for a couple of years now. About 6 months ago I moved to a yard with a school so have been able to play at getting him a bit more balanced. Out hacking we are fine whatever the speed and he is very balanced in canter...

No I don't think you should buy him. Just carry on with that schooling for a little while and give me his owners telephone number......... :D lol, you look like a fabulous team! Hope you get him and will be looking for updates on how you get on together (inc the jumping pics!), looks like a...
