Thank you for the advice AndyPandy , it is much appreciated; I will download whatever info I can find on the marble/regumate options. It is not so much the stallion, but rather my ex-OH who is the problem! He has always wanted to use his own stallion on my mare and I don't doubt for one second...

OK, this may seem an odd request for the Breeding Forum, but what is the most effective/cost effective way of stopping a mare coming into season? Despite coming into season all summer, my Cavalier mare returned from stud empty, so I gifted her to a friend who has adored her from day one. The...

Hazelden in Newton Mearns is great, and they do mail order. I thought you would have used Hayfield in Aberdeen??

They are both stunning!! Delighted to see the pics at last!

Yay!! At last What a stunner!! xxx

Carerra has been back out with Just Ross for 7 weeks now - I have been working down south for 2 weeks tomorrow and she was coming into season when I left - so fingers crossed for a blob when I get back tomorrow!!

Ahhh, that's where my friend went to train side saddle for a week. I will give them a call tomorrow. Thank you all for your suggestions xxxx

Going to be on business this weekend in Meriden/Solihull/Walsall. Can anyone recommend good places to book some (advanced) lessons. I want to ride Saturday and Sunday to relieve the boredom of just going from hotel to hotel.. Thankies!
