Yes, I've found them very good when the zip failed on my tall boots.

I didn't mean you, I meant the seller and the transporter. If people treat welfare as paramount I don't see why anyone would choose this route. It's purely to save money.

I don't understand why anyone would sign up for that journey, rather than just pay the extra VAT and taxes. It sounds bonkers that the horse would be put through all that extra travel time just to avoid a bit of tax. Hope he makes it home soon.

My local equestrian centre is hosting the Pony mag day out in April, and the advert screams about meeting social media star Harlow White. I can't imagine being 14 years old and being paraded around for meet and greets. Child actors don't seem to have to do so much. It's rare that the child...

It's not how I'd get going on a baby, but it's a pretty common thing. Every horse I know that's come over from Ireland has hunted straight after being backed.

Do all Morgans have that mouth? I thought Atlas had the cutest thinking face, with his top lip folding over the bottom in a pout, but the buckskin has the same face! Either it's a Morgan thing or it's just meant to be 😂 Either way buy the pony

That was a lovely transition and a good quality canter for a baby. I also really liked how you didn't micromanage the canter once you were in it. You just let her operate underneath you and gave subtle encouragement so she could feel confident she could do it without having her hand held every...

They have said they are able to afford to build the stables, but funding through the GFM would mean they could afford it more quickly. I find that particular family really disturbing. I think I've commented before. They offer subscriptions which includes having private conversations with the...

My horse loads himself for an outing. He loves a party. He gets a real spring in his step. It doesn't feel like tension. He's jolly whether he's about to do a dressage test or a ODE or a hack. My old horse was great at little competitions, but when it got to championships he would go really...

I find it all incredibly frustrating. I love dressage. The feeling of working together with the horse in harmony, so he feels powerful and soft at the same time. I don't recognise that feeling in top flight dressage. The top riders seem to have to work really hard to get the horse to do what...

I have some I like due to the looks but I probably wouldn't choose when it comes to riding. I love the look of Rocky Mountain Horses, and I'd have one for leisure purposes. I'd love an American Bashkir Curly for the looks. I used to dream of a palomino quarter horse like Trigger. For...

I rode my boy again. We walked some lateral work to keep his brain then did straight line trots. Still very exciting 😂

I've just started riding my boy after 4 months off (most of it spent on box rest). It's quite exhilarating 😂

My livery yard is also a riding school. We still have kiddy helpers, from age 12+. Some of them eventually get their own, most of them don't. I was such a helper from 12 to 21, on and off, until I bought my own at 21. I join group lessons when I want to, I have lessons on riding school horses...
