    Hi. I am running 2 horses in the CIC** at Little Downham, (I am by no means a big name/pro) and I good quite easily have had 90/100 runners and I am going back on the Sunday to fence judge for the day, as I try to do every time Little Downham runs. Also I do know of pros, 4* riders with large...

    Isleham

    I have just walked it, the numbering has been sorted out now, they had 2 fence 7's in the PN course. The ground on the xc looked good atm, I thought the sjing arena looked as if it might not be too clever by Sunday afternoon if we have any rain.

    JAS Final Format?!

    They used to have it in two arenas, now they just have it in the big main indoor, it is exactly the same as for the qualifiers, but the xc section has a few more interesting fences in it. I think you can circle before you start the xc but only one bell at the beginning. I am there for BE100 and...

    So can YOU make a living from eventing?

    I know I dont post on here much anymore but I am another one who is trying "to go it alone". And 1st thought is no you cant. I did my A-levels, Chemistry, Maths, Biology and Physics, with the original aim of being a vet. During 6th form, I spent one afternoon a week working at the vets, and had...

    Eventing horses by Ghareeb

    I have a 6yo by Ghareeb, out of a Cavalier Royale mare! He is only 15.2 ish. He is a Shannondale horse. He is an incredibly cheeky character, keeping him occupied is the name of the game. He was brought over from Ireland as a 4yo, having hunted over there, he then did very little as a 4yo and...

    Equiport will probably make you one. They have one on their website with a spinner and I am sure I have seen one on their stand with out or with copper rollers.

    Very Very Old Rosettes.

    No she doesnt judge any more, but only given up in the last few years. I find it really amazing how many people remember him, I would love one of mine to be remembered like that!

    Very Very Old Rosettes.

    TBH I think we will keep them, I may put them up in the tack room rather than squashed in a carrier bag. The HOYS Champions were Gems Signet in 1971, 14.2hh SP owned by my Mum (Miss A Sangan at the time) and ridden by my Aunt (Sophie Waddilove) and Brewster won the Light Weight Hunters and was...
