I agree with lots of the tips above, try pretty ponies as they do second hand jackets and sometimes full LR kits. defo need gloves on jockey as well as i would sew elastic on the jods rather than jod clips as it looks smarter and will not scratch saddle. I would use thin elastic for number...

IMPORTANT!! Stolen from Ellenden Farm, Harvington yesterday evening one Ifor Williams aluminium flat bed trailer with CHPC spray painted on it in big black letters. The police have been informed and were looking for it within minutes so please share this post and keep your eyes peeled...

His name was George and he worked upstairs in the loft, but as far as i know he retired before they closed. I used to work in the saddlery dept and those browbands were popular, if i see anything similar around i will let you know.

I was in a similar position a few year sago, with my old appaloosa. I had him from 10 years old, we did everything together, competing and loving life. When he was about 28/29 he started doing weird things like trying to drown me in a puddle on a hack, attacking people in the field and kicking...

you could use bandages wound round the poles as they have lots of different colours, we used, plastic bags, made our own fillers and painted them. I made some fillers from pallets, made sure they were safe with sturdy feet and stuffed them with bushy tree cuttings to make bullfinch type fences...

As another retired show pony producer, i used to feel aggrieved when competing with a total novice against folks i knew were county and above level. And when i started helping at our local show we put in the rules "the LR is judged on pony and rider suitability not turnout" and "if a pony/rider...

We used to sleep in the trailer lots when my neice was competing my ponies. We used to take z beds, lots lots and lots of blankets. We used to take old blankets to use against the walls of trailer to keep it warmer as well as one for floor. Battery powered lamps are a godsend and for security...

My husband does grassland management and says to get the advice of an agricultural agronomist and by your chemicals and use them with his advice. good luck

In my opinion i would stay in black, standing out is not a good thing as far as showing is concerned. We did it once at ponies uk with a child in a show pony class wearing a plain brown show jacket, brown velvet hat and cream ribbons, after the class the judge said to us to keep to the...

I used to have an Ifor Williams for travelling my 15.3 Appaloosa as well as ponies, and it was great if not a little heavy to handle. I then borrowed a Bateson from a friend, the main advantage was we had the double rear doors instead of a ramp, but i also found it lighter to move about. The...
