    What level are your thoroughbreds competing at in dressage?

    Mine is back competing after a 6 month break due to a location change up North and went out at Prelim and Novice last weekend, with another Prelim and Novice next weekend. Then hopefully back to just doing the Novice classes, although trainer said last night she thinks we could do Elem, even a...

    Vienna reins. Where can I buy them?!

    As OldVic said, google Gainfield Training and Livery in Oxfordshire. I got mine from there earlier this year.

    Am I being unreasonable? Livery yard!

    Thanks CBFan :) Friends are telling me not to be so tollerable and to say something but I'd rather keep the peace and just move quietly.

    Am I being unreasonable? Livery yard!

    No offence taken Pip :) He's a 22 yr old tb, v chilled out, relaxed and just wants to eat mainly! I've never in the 6 years of having him had a problem like this? Maybe the grass is better and with the limited turnout he's going a bit crazy but surely the answer is to turn him out more? He's...

    Am I being unreasonable? Livery yard!

    Thanks for confirming what I already thought/feel. New yard is sorted and now just waiting to move really as can't afford to pay for two sets of livery and don't want to cause any confrontation as not that sort of person. It's weird as we have become good friends socially etc but the yard just...

    Am I being unreasonable? Livery yard!

    Sorry to post another thread of livery yard troubles! I don't want to go into too much detail but feel my current yard is not suiting our requirments. I have recently moved to a new area and probably rather foolishly went for the first yard I looked at, but it seemed great and the girl who...

    Dressage peeps with back problems!

    Am finding this thread really interesting. Having fractured my back and pelvis (SI) just over two years ago at the age of 20 even now I find myself in pain almost all of the time, sometimes it's not as bad but I find the mornings are especially bad for my pelvis. I had limited physio about 3...

    My OH asked THAT question today...

    I've grown up in the Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire country side, with my horse in the next village, (4 min drive) and nearest town about 15 mins drive. However about 18 months ago my boyfriend, who's from the same village my horse lived in moved to Sheffield. I've recently moved up too and...

    Grr - yards dilemma - quick question to all of you about hay provision/costs/storage?

    At our yard, in South Yorkshire we pay for haylage bought in by the YM. It works out a £1.43 a day per horse, which is roughly £40 a month with one but we can use as little or as much as we like and it's great quality.
