Hi all, does anyone know the difference between the smart mount and the action mount?

Charliemouse this is in interesting post and one that I read carefully! My horse sounds similar to yours age wise and we too struggle with the canter being downhill and lacking jump. He is still bum high, and possibly won't level out. But the replies people have left seem helpful so I'm going to...

Thanks everyone, I'm very pleased with him :D and thanks Jo, super pics as always, you'll have to let me know how I go about buying some off you. Hopefully see you up there later too x

So we went up to myerscough last night for our first ever regionals in the first prelim section. I was pleasantly surprised to see a real mix of horse types, and ponies. So my coloured cob didn't stand out as much as I was expecting -I was worried we would stick out like a sore thumb! He warmed...

Hi, thanks for your suggestions, am following them all up. Is catton hall the place that does quad biking, corporate days etc?

I am looking for a DIY or possibly part livery, depending on price, yard. I live in Chester, but work in Warrington so anywhere between the two is a possibility. Ideal area is delamere, frodsham or somewhere round those parts. I have a well mannered 16.2 gelding. We compete in dressage...

I'm a land surveyor and my main piece if advice would be to get advice - professionally! You need to consider lots of things like the correct legal paperwork to protect your own position, flexibility, ability to terminate, review rent, who is expected to do what, take a deposit etc. There is...

I've tried loads! Started on shavings but he was gross, both deep litter and taking the wet out, I got through about 3 bags a week! Then I tried wood pellets which were no better, and he was a bit bizarre and tried to eat the dissolved pellets which worried me. Now I'm on straw which is a bit...

Interesting replies! I have recently started a spreadsheet and have opened a separate horse account which has helped. Bedding is a pain for me, my horse is so messy! Maybe rubbers mats would be a sensible investment and just have minimal bed and banks. And trailer parking costs annoy me, wish I...

I was just wondering how everyone manages to afford our super expensive hobby, whether anyone has aNy good money saving tips for day to day keeping of their horses, and also competing. Anyone have any ideas to generate supplementary income?!!!
