    Carl, Charlotte, Valegro & Uthopia?

    Ahh all makes sense (sort of) - thank you. Best wishes to all involved, and well done Carl on his win.

    Carl, Charlotte, Valegro & Uthopia?

    Ok, I'm just genuinely blonde & confused as to what's going on.... Why is Charlotte not riding Valegro at Saumur? Is he being saved for other competitions? And why is Carl not riding Uthopia? - just a genuine question not looking for hidden agendas, I mean Charlotte's not a bad choice...

    Anyone bought the new Eskadron matchy matchy??

    How much money do you actually save by doing DIY...

    Have been on full livery, they used cheap shavings sparingly! They feed cheap feeds, they were tight with Haylage and tighter still with turnout. Any supplements or special diets had to be provided by me, so it's not really possible for me to compare like with like. Also having 4 it's...

    Anyone bought the new Eskadron matchy matchy??

    I bought the lime one on Monday, didn't realise I think I bought the last remaining one in the world lol. It's for my youngster for when he's backed, he's almost black so should look good. Need to save pennies for the eskadron training boots to complete the look - got the Eskadron...

    Dressage trainer in Surrey?

    I used to use Julie Winchester, when I was over that way she is very good, or Andrew Gould does regular clinics @ Littleton.

    Anyone bought the new Eskadron matchy matchy??

    Just bought a lime green saddle cloth - they do matchy bandages, but I prefer boots much easier to put on & off.

    Field Ornaments what do you think :)

    I bought two foals a few years ago, one was dressage lines to make 16.3hh the other was TBxWB to make 16.2hh. The to make 16.3 is now 18hh and the to make 16.2 (like her full siblings) stopped at 15.2hh, and is too small for me to ride. I had her backed and ridden on a bit aged 4 but then...

    DIY Livery Yards in Market Rasen, Lincs.

    I was told they were once bombproof.com & when I googled it I was horrified!! The owner has different names depending on who she's dealing with and they always seem to have lots of empty boxes - Also they own the bomb disposal/explosions site which is part of the farm and the neighbours are...

    DIY Livery Yards in Market Rasen, Lincs.

    I am looking for a diy livery yard in the Market Rasen (Lincolnshire) area - must have good hacking and a decent school. Faldingworth looks fab, but a few people have told me it's run by a raving nutter, so I don't know what to think! Suggestions please?

    How much hay/haylage do you actually feed?

    I weigh my haynets as every bale and section tend to be different weights, and when you are feeding competition horses you need to know how much they are eating - although after a while you can tell by feel when you are at the right weight by just holding the nets lol - but I still weigh to be...
