I’m sorry to hear this as it’s been so lovely seeing your journey together. Well done also for stopping your lesson and not riding her through it. You know her best and she’s clearly telling you something. I don’t think scaling back and giving her a break will necessarily solve the issues if...

I had a horse pts and as the vet quite often liked to dissect horses for training purposes etc, I offered him to him. The horse was a very jolly little fellow with a fabulous jump until one day he just wasn’t. He went downhill very quickly to the point I realised he couldn’t move over very well...

I put a wanted advert on Facebook last year and bought my current one through that. It took some time sifting through all the ones offered though, most which didn’t the criteria! The one I bought hadn’t been advertised at the time I viewed him and I got lucky.

Good luck. I love a good ID as long as they’re forward going. Probably why I have two !!

Lovely round - he has a real smile on his face. This fence looks very confusing. Was it easier for the horses to read as on video it looks like just one very enormous fence.

I was going to recommend Charlotte Warman as she is excellent with a great variety. There’s Polly Schwerdt. She’s based near Bicton. Had a lot of Bomber bits when I used her.

I’ve just bought the Rambo Hoodie from Eileen Douglas which was in the sale. In the hope the rain will actually stop one day 🙄 I’m really impressed with the quality and feel of it. My other sweet itch rugs are Shires which are pretty good too.

Well glad I found this post. Having just had a quotation from them and was seriously considering them. I'll keep looking...............it's a lot of money to get wrong.

Very pretty

Harry Hall cover 2 on their policy.

I’m looking at buying these boots to go with the chaps someone gave me for my birthday. I’ve quite wide feet and normally stick with Ariat. Does anyone know how they fit and are they generous like their rugs ?!

Sounds fantastic and glad you got your mojo back. Am very jealous of that hacking though !

I was going to mention Mudrugs too. They are excellent quality.

If this was my horse and you were the loanee I’m pretty sure I would have offered you to stop loaning/contributing. So no I don’t think you’re being unreasonable. It’s a shame for the owner but unfortunately that’s horses for you.

Have you tried Trereife Equestrian in Penzance? I got my boy from her and he is mostly what you want, similar price but is 13yrs. I do think you’ll struggle with that criteria and budget though.
