Congratulations - you must be so pleased!!

Alfie's 'proper' name is Apollo Gee (his racing name) - not sure why or where from, doesnt come from his sire or dam (he's by Spectrum) - play on words for 'apology' I think?!

What about crazy YO's? My old one once shouted to my horse 'That grass is for eating not galloping on'!!! Err, try enforcing that on a 4yo TB that has been in all week because the fields are a bit wet! Oh dear, what can you do.....

Wish I had a few pennies in the old piggy bank!!! Tangleman is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!! Proper old fashioned three day eventer. Is Polly keeping the ride? I didnt think the advert sounded like she was? Wonder what his price tag is? Might just go and check the old bank balance........then...

Good luck! How big is you boy? He looks big in your sig! I've just started doing some unaff dressage - I just try and relax and and if it starts going pear shaped, just think to myself that there is always another day! Good luck again!

Yippee!!!! Looking forward to Sunday 25th - less time in bed but worth it for the lurvely light summery evenings!!!!! Cant wait till you can be out riding after work for a good hack with just your t shirt on, not jumpers and coats etc etc!! Bliss! Makes the hard slog of winter worth it

When do the clocks go forward? Is it Sat 24th or Sat 31st? I neeeeed to know so I can start counting down!! Cant wait till nice light nights are here!!

Your horsey looks lovely!!!! You should be proud!

The Champion Ventair.....skull cap version though...only cause i have a strange phobia of the riding type hats!! Not sure why!

No idea what film you have seen but i have seen horse treadmills on various vet programmes, one recently (cant remember but it was on TV last summer/autumn) had one on - a horse was being galloped on one (quite a sight!) with tubes up its nose to check its breathing etc. There werent any...

Awww, how cute....love the last pic of him 'smiling'!

I have the rodney powell one, which i really like - comfortable and not restrictive. I did originally want the cobra but i tried it on and it just did not sit right on my body shape. I would definately recommend trying before you buy to get the best fit possible for you

I currently ride my ex-racer in a fulmer snaffle which is fine for schooling and hacking but when doing faster work such as hunting or cross country he gets really strong, sets his head low and pulls like a train! He then gets onto his forehand and is difficult to stop! I've been advised to...

Thank you, that link has answered a couple of questions.......but i think there was another one that made mention of Andrew Nicholsons autobiography too? Or if anyone knows what it is called then that would help too? Has Ginny Holgate/Leng/Elliott ever done an autobiog? x
