    Can anyone recommend some decently priced short yard boots please?

    As above, not needed to ride in but comfort is my priority! I live in my Skechers De-lite trainers and although I have a battered old pair to wear in the garden and going to sort the old horse, of course when it rains and it's winter, they just can't cope! I'd say a budget of about £50. I'm...

    Non horsey other halves?

    I’ve put ‘current’ husband as if he’s going to be replaced…I assure you he’s not! ?

    Non horsey other halves?

    My first husband was a bit of a pain when it came to my pony, but my current husband has more horses than me! We have actually ‘given up’ after over 20 years of us being tied up with horses (but still own three, husbands old boy retired at his daughters, his riding horse out on loan, my mare is...

    Buying a horse from the field

    I'm not. Not every horse person in the world is on this forum, could be they googled 'where to find horse advice' and this popped up. They joined, and asked their question.

    Livery yards - Sudbrooke, Lincoln

    There's a livery yard run by the Wilkinsons (I think that's their name) in Sudbrooke, chicken farmers. They have a few nice facilities. Have you been there?

    livery wanted newark/lincoln

    There's one in South Hykeham called Bruces, and I think there's another that used to be a riding school, the Meadows rings a bell...? Also one in Swinderby which is off the A46. Danethorpe Hill (not sure of yard name) has the X-Country course and I *think* DIY livery. All these places used...

    Should I join Pony Club?

    Check out the branch website and also the local Facebook pages, that will give you a huge insight. My son loved it when he was a member years ago.

    Beware of Scammers!!!

    In our local press, a couple have just been scammed out of £14,000 for a camper van. Apparently they had phone conversations and everything....and unfortunately paid before seeing it. As you can imagine, when they went to collect it, there was no camper van, and a neighbour at the address said...

    You think you’ve seen everything out hacking and then...

    Me and Mr DS were out riding one pleasant Sunday morning. My mare was always in the front as she was super-speedy, and Mr DS was behind on his gelding. We passed a car on the BP, the window was open, and a couple were in the passenger seat naked....having a great time....I averted my eyes, tried...

    Not sure how much more I can take.

    Let her throw a strop then! If that's the rules, that's the rules, take her horse in, put yours out.

    Goodbye my beautiful friend...

    Thank you all. It's still so strange. I spent a few moments this morning where she is buried and shed a few tears, but then thought about the many happy times. It's coming home to her not being there that's the worse thing. I've started coming in through the front door rather than the back...

    Goodbye my beautiful friend...

    Yesterday I held my beautiful girl Sydney as she was put to sleep by our vet. I hugged her tight and cried into her fur as she took her last breath. I'm in bits. We got her when she was about 8 months old and she wasn't too far off 15 years old. She had the typical traits of an Australian...
