    Studs for XC! Only one stud hole in back shoes?? I'm confused!

    Haha love this!! We only put one in each foot now, as one of our ponies would definately stud himself when tied up with the way he stands! Never had a problem, farrier has always said providing the right studs for the ground are used there should be no more risk using one than two, the problem...

    People blaming their horses past!!!

    I actually think it's the opposite to what most people have put on here....I think those who have a horse that's had a traumatic past but expect them to forget and move on are the ones that don't understand horses! Horses never forget. I've had several horses that have have awful pasts, one who...

    Pony Club Championships - thrills, spills & an air ambulance!

    Well done!! Sounds like a fab few days, and some great pics! Totally agree here...several people said over the sat and sun that their areas were pretty much dressage competitions which then meant people weren't prepared to cope with true championship tracks! Ours certainly was, when I walked...

    Serious accident at Somerford park? Does anyone know anything?

    Like others have said - horse was fine and was led away from the horrible incident. I'm sure it will be a little sore and bruised tomorrow but apart from that from what I've been told all is fine. Absolutely heart breaking for all involved and all that knew them, very talented and the only...

    Teamchasers

    Phoebe Buckley's Little Tiger (Frosty)...need I say more?! Looks a serious hunting machine & teamchaser...& popped round Badminton & Burghley like it was a pony club event too! Personally I think eventers make awesome hunters/team chasers as they are brave, bold, scopey & quick thinking :)

    K*ty lake or Mark Todd boots?

    As the title says really...just wondering which people prefer? Can't afford dubarrys...the money goes on the horses instead!! Did think Dublin river but seen quite a few bad reviews on them and know a couple of people who have them and the inside ripped quite quickly! So just wondering which...

    What's the best or worst prize that you have won

    By the sounds of things some unafilliated comps over better prices than affiliated!! I've been very lucky to win several good prizes (all unafilliated)...lovely leather bridle, grooming kit, a shires rug, numnah and coat at their championships, fleece rug and some lovely trophies, but think the...

    Atherstone team chase this weekend! Whoop!

    How did people get on? :) I went for a watch, given my boy a weekend off after very busy weekend last week! Enjoyed it, bar the freezing cold weather & the rain that came as the open started! Was fab seeing Frosty though, she looks so well & made the open course look tiny! What did people think...

    Instant Calmers

    Definately worth giving NAF magic a try! My lad has the powder in every feed, just maintenance amount, then give him the instant calmer before tests at bigger venues (he will have some before his tests at the BRC champs this weekend), but don't give him it for local comps as trying to get him to...
