Empty plastic bottles on strings, either dragged along the floor, or hanging high to walk under. Umbrellas are fun!

I think there is world of difference between being critical of the riding/horsemanship of an adult who is famous for being a rider, and a child who is famous for being an influencer.

The world is changing, and I think its even more difficult now for children with non horsey parents to learn more about horsemanship. I would never be critical of anyone doing online courses to try and educate themselves, of course there are dreadful people doing online courses, as there are...

My opinion on Harlow is that a child whose life in online and monetised by her parents, who are the people supposed to protect her, has enough to deal with without random strangers on the internet criticising her riding.

I used to have a cat who had a similar love of tennis, many, many matches were won by him!

January and February are disgusting months weather wise, so if you know your arena is going to be a swamp, you hate the mud, and you suffer with the lack of light, then give the horse some time off, let them be a mud monster and accept it, after all, this is your hobby, not your job, it wont...

Sun came out this morning just as my lovely new Sealskinz hat was delivered. I appreciate the poster who bought an Equidry made a more significant offering to the weather gods, so It'll probably rain on me this evening, but it was still nice to see the sun!

Gorgeous! What a good idea, lovely looking mare, heres to lots of fun together.

I use Saracen condition improver cubes for one of mine who always tends to be a bit light, I find it suits mine very well, no extra fizz, but keeps him in good condition, its active ingredient is Equijewel, so you could certainly just add that to what you already feed, and hopefully once the...

I always try to not stress about the things I cant change, and I certainly cant change the weather. I know its disgusting, but every day survived is a day closer to Spring, so I do my best to not think about it, I listen to the radio/podcasts/music and just get on with things. My horses are at...

Yes, I love their thermal breeches, warmest ones I've had so far. I'm a fan of their clothing, reasonably priced and really does the job.

Kramer. I wear their waterproof overtrousers, not warm ones, because it rains all year, and I am outdoors most of everyday, and they have kept me bone dry.

Its a chambon, but abused as massively too tight, if used correctly it should only come into play when the horse raises its head very high and hollows, it is not designed to be used as pictured.

I'd have called by now, in my experience the vet has either explained it all at the time, or the xrays have been taken back to the practice for a specific vet to look at and then I've either been phoned that evening or the following morning at the latest.

It doesn't feature in more advanced tests. Which I believe is a mistake, people like Kyra Kirkland and Carl Hester are asking for give and retake to be included in the GP, I think that would be a brilliant development.
