    Possible move to USA - movin horses & competitions??

    Forgot, as far as the shipping, you can ship by the pallet. You can get 3 ponies on one pallet as opposed to only 2 horses, so it wouldn't cost much more to ship 3 than to ship 2, however my friends that just got back from the world singles driving championships in Italy in July spent about...

    Possible move to USA - movin horses & competitions??

    I was in the mid west but not south. I thought I knew hot and humid, but the other woman wasn't joking. I was there once also in July and you literally ran from one air conditioned place to another and like I said I was used to 100+ degrees F with some humidity but it was nothing compared to...

    Possible move to USA - movin horses & competitions??

    2-3 hours would be considered pretty close. When I lived in the mid west, I only had one show that was less than 4 hours, and most were 8 or 9 one way LOL. Funny, I have always dreamed of relocating to England, literally. Be prepared for very hot and HUMID. Hate to say it, but Houston...

    Possible move to USA - movin horses & competitions??

    I am in the US but will need some translation I am afraid. What is BS? I am assuming it must be pony hunters and jumpers? I am not in TX but have friends there and will help if I can. Small ponies go to 12.2, med 13.2, large 14.2, however they changed to FEI a few years ago making the...

    Best XC gloves - especially in the wet!

    I'm in the states. Never heard of Macwets, will have to look them up. I have found that Neuman Tackifed gloves are the best. Around $39, I used mine everyday and with that heavy use they last me 1 to 1 1/2 years. They actually get stickier when they get wet, but they are pretty grippy all the...

    Thoughts/comments on Burghley vids?

    I am honestly not meaning for this to appear to be a tit for tat exchange, but more a comment on a statement. You said you (we) don't have any idea whether she figured it out. One can only assume she didn't as, as I noted, she did not change the style of her ride after the first couple near...

    Thoughts/comments on Burghley vids?

    This WAS my first ever post. I am overseas and have been reading the forums for months, but had never found the way to register, just the log in. This was the first issue to come up that I felt so strongly about I emailed the staff to find the registration link, so obviously, yes, I counted to...

    Thoughts/comments on Burghley vids?

    nullabor I can only assume that you think running him again with this girl riding is in his best interests???????? I have to be candid in saying that I found her blog post about "crashing" disgusting. She obviously doesn't get it. Tries to blame the horse, and then does somewhat concede...

    strange rule decisions at burghley.....

    I scribe quite a bit, not at this level granted, but am pretty experienced at somewhat advanced levels. We have had this happen where they just don't hear the bell. We end up getting out and waiving them down, and having them start at the beginning of the movement they had done incorrectly or...
