    [FT] What We would Love to Buy

    THIS! With it's hefty price tag of £1600 though I don't think it'll ever happen! THIS! But at £300 I'll have to dream on! I also wouldn't mind a house with a tonne of land and an arena of my own and stable of my own too!

    Am I too young to hack without an adult?

    My sister is a bit younger than you, 13, but she's just started to be allowed to hack out as long as there's someone on the ground either walking or cycling.

    Help..?

    I don't suppose anyone Bourne/Spalding/Peterborough/Stamford areas could help me? I'm having some problems with my nearly 4 year old. She was green when I got her in Jan, was fine for the 3 weeks, then suddenly started playing up and hasn't stopped since. It's got to the point my little sister...
