Hi, Looking for either land to buy with planning, stables to rent or DIY livery yard. Based in South West, Chippenham, Wiltshire so if anyone knows of any farmers to get in touch with about purchasing a bit of land please message me. Land would need to be fit for horses and enough to build...

Thank you everyone for a few suggestions, will look into them and see what I can get :) He isn't fed much as have cut all food back to see if that was the problem. He is on a handful of chaff and his joint supplement, cortaflex (which is great if anyone wants to try a joint supplement!) and as...

What calmers have worked for you? Have tried several including 'calmer' 'magnitude' 'equinox' and a Valerian based product (I know its not competition legal!!!) and many more but nothing has worked. Looking for something to take the edge off and make him concentrate more. He is like a ticking...

Hi all, I have a Thoroughbred gelding who raced back in 2008-2009 as a three year old but was never any good - too slow. I got him when he was 6 (out of racing for 1.5 years chilling in the field) When we bought went lame for 6 months (due to kicking a fence) and then had a few issues with...

DIY livery wanted in SW Wiltshire (chippenham/chippenham side of Malmsebury, calne, lacock, lyneham ect). Stable, school and nice turnout wanted for one TB gelding.

DIY livery in the Chippenham/Calne/Lacock/Corsham areas for one TB gelding? Stable, arena and nice turnout :)

Thank you everyone. I've now gone with Polly Williamson. From the first lesson she had myself and horse working correctly and she's been great. She used to have Tom Searls yard before him and she trains Tom at times also :)

***First I will just say, tack, teeth and back has been seen to!*** I have a 10 year old TB ex racer that has been really struggling in the canter. His walk and trot is great, really consistent. However, canter is the big issue. He is very much a typical ex racer, he likes to run. He tends to...

I get quite a lot of human things as they work out the cheapest and do the same job as the equine version! Thank you for some suggestions as I haven't got a few that people have mentioned. Haven't re-stocked since last winter, OOPS!

Hi everyone! I am going to be stocking up on some first aid items and general things such as bandages ect. What do you have in your kits? :)

Looking for a DIY livery or land with stables to rent in Chippenham/Calne area. Livery must have individual turnout, stable and a school. Rent- 2-4+ stables, nice turnout, a school a bonus but if not, must have a dry, flat piece of field to ride on. Good hacking, again would be a bonus.

I may add also, its worse on my own horse. I find when I ride others it keeps reasonably still but still not strong to keep the horse from occasionally falling in??

Over the past few weeks my lower leg during flatwork has got much stronger but I've always struggled with week lower legs. Jumping is fine, my lower leg stays in place but during flatwork I struggle to keep my leg on the girth to help keep the horse from falling in and to help bend. What happens...

Hi, Looking for recommendations on instructors based in Wiltshire - Calne, Melksham, Malmsebury, Cirencester way. An instructor that has there own facilities would be a bonus as getting my horse out working in a different environment would be great but not essential so must be willing to...

Anyone know of any stables and land to rent? Looking for - *3-7 stables *decent turnout *school or a good grass school *decent hacking but not essential Chippenham/Calne/Lacock/Hilmarton way Thanks!
