    Moving to the UK (Lakenheath) from the US (with my horse?)

    So lovely to read that you are settled. I am very close to you a couple of miles outside Thetford. If you need any help regarding the forest or anything at all, just shout

    Musto snug jodphurs

    Yes they are on the waist. Lovely for ladies of a certain age and shape. They are super warm and comfy, very easy to wash and last ages.

    Wireless headset for lessons - recommendations please.

    It works a long way. My instructor has in the past walked out the arena to her car the other side of a barn and I can still hear her

    I am also partially deaf and have experimented with many things over the years. I came to the conclusion that the best thing was to purchase a proper system. I have the WHIS system. Never fails me, signal as clear as a bell and no faffing. Well worth the cost

    All in one jods

    Never heard of such a thing. I wear big knickers and tuck the base layer in them.

    Best all round breeches

    I have come to the conclusion where breeches are concerned, that once you find a brand and style that suits you stick with it. If they have lasted that long then the Pikeur are worth the extra money. I cannot tell you how many times I have been disappointed with trying different brands and I...

    Moving to the UK (Lakenheath) from the US (with my horse?)

    Hiya. I have nothing further to add to what people are saying above, but once you make the decision bring or not, you will love the riding around here. I am a few miles away from Lakenheath but the outriding is fantastic in the forest, and we are on sand so riding all year round is lovely. You...

    I am going to rant!

    I have to vent and here is always a good place. There is a local site on FB that every single day has posts from people who are either selling, looking to buy, loan or share a horse.

    COVID rules re Hacking

    The rules are clear and have been confirmed to our yard owner this week following a complaint. We had three riders (unknown to her) all from separate households who went out together. She was reported. You can only ride with one other person whether that is from your household or another. You...

    Ariat Coniston or Glacier boots?

    I have just bought my second pair of Berwicks. The first ones I had five years and the sips have just gone so decided on a new pair rather than replace the zip. I had Conistan prior to these and Berwicks are far superior on fit

    Made to measure boots

    I have had three M2M pairs over the years. 2 by Equiclass and the third Joshua Jones. My favs by far are the Equiclass. Lovely soft leather no need to wearing in. If you can afford the outlay they are worth it. Look after them (I only ride in mine, no stable chores and no mud), keep them clean...

    Clipping wet and meths

    I agree with all your above comments which is why I found the post so strange

    Clipping wet and meths

    I saw a FB post recently on clipping where people were talking about wet clipping and also using meths to cool down blades is what it seemed like. I wasn't able to post on the thread so could not get clarification. Can anyone enlighten me please?
