    thoughts on making a temporary arena!

    My lovely husband has suggested we make a temporary arena for winter in one of our stubble fields using woodchip and a silage bale fence, the idea being that it will plough into the field in spring by which time i will be able to school on the grass again. We live on top of a chalk hill...

    Feeding linseed and soya oil

    I feed Omega Gold, it is cold pressed rapeseed oil. Your horse may not like it as it is an oil but my horses seem to love it. :)

    Just backed babies, how long did you wait until first ridden show?

    Depends on the horse! I want them to be confident in walk trot and canter, have hacked out a bit and ridden in company first. I try to take them off for a lesson at my trainers yard first. Average of around 8 weeks for a normal horse (ie not a nutter!)

    Treeless Saddles..which to go for?

    I have a Heather Moffett vogue dressage saddle and absolutely love it! It did still require some fitting and adjustment to get the balance right so I don't think they are quite as simple as plonking on and off you go.
