Looking for grazing, stables and use of an arena for 3 horses on private or shared yard. Ideally only 20 mins drive from Shepton Mallet area. Really looking for DIY or Assisted. Can only find Part locally. Does anyone know of anywhere? Thanks in advance! 😀

Ah thanks lots everyone. I'm not sure how to post a pic but he's black with not masses of feather (a very dense mane and tail) and slightly heavier than a dales but that's the closest type I think. We've done the riding club horse class before, so maybe we could try that... Thanks again...

Open Heavyweight | Open Lightweight | Maxi Cob??? The cob is a 15.2hh dales type with a full mane, tail and feathers. Preferably shown hogged which he isn't, so is they any point entering? We don't normally show but it's local agricultural event so just fancy getting involved &#128515...

Hey I did thank you. I am a member of British Dressage so went with Shearwater (although I don't think it made too much difference in the end). I'm limited to 10 hours a week, which should be more than enough anyway just for a Saturday lol. I totally agree with everyone that word of mouth is...

Hi, a delayed follow up 'Thank You' to everyone for your advice! I've taken it all on board and have decided to trial for a year, and aim to just cover costs - at least I'll be insured and I've registered so all above board :-) My next question would be where to advertise? In addition to those...

Thanks both, that's really helpful! Another question... do I need to make my current employer aware if I am starting a business - it will not effect my working hours as the instruction would take place on a weekend only. I really appreciate your advice :-)

Hi, I am attempting to set myself up as a freelance riding instructor alongside my day job - just light hearted really and mostly as I have been asked to provide lessons and I want to justify charging accordingly. I am not qualified - just experience based and not looking to make this my full...

Hi, where abouts did you keep her? I used to know a Bella Cob in the midlands but I am guessing it's a different one? I hope you find some info!

Whoops, my phone thought I had finished. Meant to say we did the same last year and really enjoyed the event. The photos taken on site were really good quality.

4 tests, wow :-) I can barely remember 2. We're doing novice 24 and 27. I take it you are staying on site? As we're not too far away we'll be travelling up and back on the Saturday and Sunday.

Hey, I'll be there too! Which classes are you entered in? You probably already know but the times are on the website now :-)

I used to be on a yard that had a sand school but no lights, however, the sand was so brightly orange that I could school in the dark with just the moon to light our way :) Always had it to myself for some reason... :)

Thanks once again all, for your help - you've given me lots to think about!! :) MiJodsR2BlinkinTite - what you say makes a lot of sense and is real food for thought. A valuable reality check! I appreciate your honesty. Sprout - thanks for the encouragement. You sound like exactly the sort...

I am so gratefull to you all for your responses - you've helped me to really understand and develop my idea. I'm going to stick with the F/T job whilst investigating insurance costs and see what happens :-) indiat - congrats on riding out your 4 year old, what a great feeling!

Hi, when I needed a custom chest expander, I asked a lady on ebay to make me one as she had similar products on her site. PM me if you'd like her details - she was very helpful - I've ordered other custom bits too :)
