i agree, im a bit confused by the one where the two greys start cantering on the road after the car? I dont think you should take your horse on the road if its going to behave like that! Thank god the horse was well behaved when the massive lorry passed extremely close! made me feel sick!

so glad its not just me! their winter coats seem to be worse but the horse hair is what gets to me the most nowadays, I have to wear gloves when grooming or it really effects my skin, as I have eczema on my hands it flares that up too. That plus the tree pollen coming out now im a mess! I...

isnt that one of the points of sharing? not having the responsibility? unless ive got the wrong end of the stick, I believe OP is happy to do stable duties etc on her weekday in winter but just not pay to ride, as due to the facilities she is unable to? why should she pay to muck out someone...

why would you be 'furious'?

I have some aztec diamond leggings (the older design- so not sure on the new ones!) but they are super comfy and cool, the waist band is wide and soft x

I normally take mine off when im riding as other wise it says something like ive done 20,000 steps! it doesnt seem to understand that im riding haha!

this one looks like a nice chap! http://www.ntequine.co.uk/horses-for-sale/forsale14.php

ive had HKM madrid boots for almost 5 years now and they have just given up! they only cost me about 60 quid so i wasnt expecting much, but I have lived in them!

some people who 'just want to hack' are experienced, knowledgeable riders... not everyone wants to compete! not everyone who just hacks owns a dead to the leg, backwards cob.

I have a pink mountain warehouse one and its lovely, really really light and has a pocket for my phone, vents for ventilation and elasticated/adjustable hem which I really like for riding. pretty sure its this one...

I think it would look very smart/nicer without the pink, but thats just me. I like the blue piping :)

are you still paying while the horse is off work?? could you suggest maybe a 'pay as you go' type agreement, so you can just pay a set amount to her every time you want to ride/have a spare bit of cash for a ride

I pay £20 a week for one day a week!!! so £25 would be cheap IMO, but depends on the area I guess x

I have HKM madrid boots, had them about 3 years and they are still waterproof, they are fine for riding in as they have extra leather as padding where the stirrups normally rub other boots, I school in them too.

if he wants something that really jumps then get a welsh d.. there is a top JA pony jumping round 1m30 tracks that is a welsh d (the dark emperor) , every one I have met has an amazing jump on them!
