    Tennis court to menage.

    Two together should be. If I can only get the one, it'll do for a lunge pen. Will have a look at the flexiride stuff thanks.

    Tennis court to menage.

    Has anyone converted Tennis courts in a menage - is it as simple as sticking down a membrane and pouring on sand and rubber?

    When I had this problem with Cavellos I stuck a strip or two of athletic tape on the inside of the front which had some success.

    Micklem Bridle - experiences?

    Love mine, Thought it didn't fit at first but a bit of subtle tweeking pu it right. Straps just seem to make sense on the horses head and it is impressively versatile as well.

    Up to date opinions on WOW saddles.

    Problem is my other saddles have rubbed behind the cantle. One of his shoulders is bigger than the other where he had a problem, that is now rectifying itself. Not sure if a saddle can solve this but thought maybe the WOW offered the best solution?

    the sound of the wind and rain.....

    Well its had down a mahoosive tree across the drive - fortunately not near the stables, but I'm tempted to set to work with axe and chainer when I get home from the night shift. Wife will be cross if I don't get my beauty sleep though!

    Following a conversation at work where a friend is an extra (very annoying half way through Dr Who when you see his face, and are reminded it's not real!). Has anyone been an extra on a Horse, and if so how did you get to do it? Anyone used their own horse - I'm sure mine would like to put his...
