Yeah, I thought that might be the case. I wasn't that keen on taking them anyway, they're both young and lively and I'd spend the whole day worrying that one would get off the lead and chase a horse! I think I'll just talk her into sending them to stay with aunty for the day! Thanks!

Hiya! Bit of a lurker but wondered if anyone knew the answer to this as google has failed me! Got cross country day tickets with the family and my mum wants to know if you can take dogs in so we can book a dog friendly hotel! Not the end of the world if we can't, but would be nice to know...

Oooh thanks guys! Will look into all of them and liase with the parentals as to where we are staying and which will be the best option :)

I think we're staying in the windermere area, though it was a while ago when my mum told me and I may have remembered wrong!

Oooh thanks guys! Will definitely look into the heavy horses one, very different to my usual fair (eventers!) Hopefully its not too far from where we're staying :)

Hiya all, I'm off up to the lake district for a week with my parents the week after next and am looking into somewhere to do a morning/days ride while I'm there. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions/recommendations/places to avoid? I'm an experienced rider so I'd like something...

Oh he's stunning! I love Chocolate! If in four or five years time you have a just broke baby of his for sale you might have a very happy customer in me!

Time will be decided by the trot up this afternoon; shes pretty much in the middle of the drawn order so she could be late tomorrow or early friday depending on if anyone fails the trot up.

She got seventh By the sounds of it Connie was awesome!

I don't own my own horse but I do some riding for someone on some of their horses. Someone suggested I get rider insurance but I'm not sure what I'm looking for! Anyone got any recommendations? I'm mostly interested in the third party aspect as I have health insurance to cover the hospital side...

How awful... My thoughts are with you and your family. Fingers crossed for a good outcome. xxx

Awww hes so handsome! Good luck for next weekend, I'm sure you'll be fab!

Awesome, thanks guys! I think I'll be putting in a trip to tower farm next weekend!
