If you have to school, could you try setting something up in the field?

I've posted this on another thread recently so sorry if I'm repeating myself, but I've found the following a good place to start: Horsemart Horsequest FridayAd Horses4homes On here - h&h Righthorserighthome Local tack/feed shops Any local horsey magazines Word of mouth! Good luck!

It's a shame you are so far away from me as he sounds lovely! The only thing I would say is there's a bit of a balancing act between charging a monthly amount (which of course is justified!) and finding someone who knows what they are doing! A payer doesn't always mean competence but then a...

There are definitely people who still want to share - me being one of them! I tend to look on the following, so these might be a starting place to advertise: Horsemart Horsequest FridayAd Horses4homes On here - h&h Righthorserighthome Local tack/feed shops Any local horsey magazines Word of...

Do we have any updates SLH? I'm dying to know how your search is going!

I found that what really helped me was almost to forget about sitting in the traditional sense. Relaxing your hips and just sort of feeling the horses movement meant I could move with the horse rather than just focusing on sitting. All the usual things like heels down, slightly gripping with...

If he has a field shelter then maybe a name plate?

I’d recommend www.rbartistry.co.uk. She does beautiful drawings of dogs and horses :)

I’m sure there are probably crates which are much better and safer now than they used to be that I don’t know about! I do have a different view re the seatbelt though. Because seatbelts ‘lock’ in an emergency, the dog was actually very secure and it wasn’t a harness that plugged into...

Let us know how it goes!

Hi SLH, I've followed your story with interest since you got Bailey home (but still a new poster!). https://www.freeads.co.uk/uk/buy-sell/equestrian/horses-ponies/cob/35543897/17-hh-shire-x-cob-12-year-old-piebald-steady-neddy/view#.XOWYy-tKiRs I've seen this gentleman who sounds like he MAY...

I have a Lonsdale one that you can get in most sports shops. Less than £10 and holds everything in place!

I would definitely recommend the Toggi Calgary boots. Mine were roughly £80 online, I've had them probably three years and still going strong! Also suitable for hacking/schooling if you can't be bothered to change boots!
