Can highly recommend Eland Mini. I did my first ever ODE there. You can find photos of all the XC fences in the gallery on their website. They are small and easy. The mini doesnt have any testing questions just a nice flowing course. The water is a run through so no jumping in or out. The...

I have two and a half hours between the dressage and SJ so could walk it then but I don't want to get in peoples way that are competing. Is it rude to walk the course once people have started to go round?

Thanks for the replies. I am about 2 hours away so I was hoping that I could walk the course on the day but I think I will go on Saturday so I can have a good look. Sounds like there will be a few newbies there so hopefully we can help each other out. I must say Sue has been lovely to deal with...

Hi, It will be my first ODE at Eland Lodge on Sunday (unaffiliated) and only my second ODE in my life so just wondered if anyone had any tips? I haven't competed there before but I did go over to watch a BE event so I know where everything is. I just wondered will I have time to walk the XC...

Where abouts are you I am looking for a companion pony?

The Arena Eventing that takes place at Vale View is a round of show jumps then you immediately start the XC phase which consists of simulated (plastic jump for joy)Xc jumps. Some of the course is inside then you go outside to a water complex then back into the indoor arena. There are about 30...

I have an Ifor cover and in theory it is great. It does look after your trailer much better i previously left my old trailer uncovered but then I had to keep replacing the sides because they were becoming water logged and rotting. Each new side cost £400 so when we bought the new trailer we...

Hi I have been with Carriagehouse for about 10 years and I am not leaving. They have always paid all my claims - 2 majors one for a broken leg and one for colic very quickly and never quibbled anything. I now only have one horse and he is 18 so only insured for certain things but they are still...

CazD just to let you know a friend has offered to take her. I am taking her to the vets for a check up then to her new home in Lincs tonight!!! She will be living on a massive farm and will be well and truly spoilt.

Don't worry I have already said I will need to take pics tonight!!! I am sure you aren't too far away!!!

Sorry forgot that bit. She is in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire but I am willing to take her anywhere. I don't know alot about her but she has not been owned by nice people so she doesnt go on walks or get fed properly. I have been talking her food and she is a lovely girl, frightened at first but...

Hi, Can anybody help?? It was brought to my attention that a Jack Russell was looking for a new home. She is about 1 - 2 and has been passed around several times already. She was purchased as a puppy by people completely unsuitable who then lost their home and has gone into a hostel. Since...

My friend's horse had such bad sarcoids that they were starting to effect his quality of life. She had them lasered off as the last resort and the results are amazing. The sarcoids on his sheath and between his hind legs were very big so the lasers left big wounds but they have healed so well...

Hi, Does anybody know of any rescue centre's around the Midlands? I am based in Notts and the nearest ILPH is in Norfolk. I have seen a pony that would be suitable at Hall farm in Norfolk but I am worried that it will be too far for it to travel. Thanks Kelly

Hi, I fancied entering an unaffiliated one day as we have focused on dressage for 5 years. Do you have to wear a skull cap or can I wear my GPA hat - it has a fixed peak? Thanks
