If you want to annoy them they need planning permission to turn it into a lawn as it is currently a field. they would also have needed planning permission to keep your 6 horses on 1/4 acre with you feeding them hay. If you keep a horse in a field and supplement them with feed then you need...

Join a riding club and do group lessons and also camp, you both will get something out of it doing that, and it is a nice way to introduce her to a busier environment and you got some support there to if you need it.

I know Horse Heaven Saddlery do it, but they are in Devon. http://www.horseheavensaddlery.co.uk/

Thanks for all your advice. I am actually the neighbour, and I wanted to check I wasnt being ridiculous not wanting the stables that close to my house. It is made worse by the fact that their field is higher than our garden so everything drains into our lawn. They submitted their application...

Hi, wonder if you can help. I own a field next to my house, part of which runs along the back of my neighbours garden. I am thinking of putting in planning for 2 stables and the best place to put them would be against my neighbours garden fence. Is there any planning laws that say how far...

No they dont, any one can register as the horses owner with BS, but if you are a junior you have to get an adult to do it for you.

I think I would give up. If you cant commit to the effort it takes to be successful stop wasting your money. For the price of 2 events you could go to RC camp and do 3 things on 3 days - much more fun.

Kings Sedgemoor is a really nice venue, it is outside. They build nice courses, it would be one of the easier venues to jump a NC, have normal jumps, nothing super spooky or scary. You enter on the day. If you haven't been there before the entrance is a bit odd, it looks like you are driving...

When I did this I used to pay £20 a show for them to ride him. They kept the prize money. They had him for 2 weeks at the start and I paid for livery for that , and then I kept him at home, rode him and took him to shows. That was a show jumper. I would have thought due to the time of year...

You just have to get your 4 double clears at BN in the qualifying period whilst still under 125 points. You dont need to be under 125 for the second rounds.

My best advice is don't panic - you are going to see c500 horses, if you don't like a horse, or it is not quite right for you - move on to the next one. Do as much research as possible from the catalogue - Google everything, Ireland has lots of online results, affiliated and unaff. You will...

Blimey, you did really well
