I also like to being training at a level above at home, in comparison to the level I'm competing at a competition and that's as a minimum. We were competing at Medium BD but training at Advanced so everything in the arena was comfortable and familiar. I went from Prelim to Elementary in the same...

It sounds as if your doubts are more towards veterinary medicine rather than selling/not selling. Congratulations on your place, it is highly competitive. Best of luck in whatever you decide. :)

Totally agree with this. I'm a final year (uh oh) Law student at a top 10 uni. I made the same choice you had to, except we specialised in dressage. I'd worked so hard on a horse that was apparently 'untrainable'. We got further than I ever imagined (competed Advanced). I work part-time in a...

Treehouse, fantastic quality.. They are slightly pricier but definitely worth it. I have light blue and navy checks. Blue is my favourite colour (apart from purple) and it pretty much goes with any coloured horse.

Then I would say your best bet would be to find a nice and capable your rider- A level or degree age. Might be worth ringing around your local pony clubs to see if they have any of their older riders they recommend?

To be fair, I do very similar to what you are describing now. Owner keeps horse at our place (for a very minimal sum- £25 a week) and she lets me ride for her. I'm only 19, so I'm a second year uni student and it works really well for us, I had a lovely summer competing. It's all about give...

What great scores you got, well done!! Good luck for your next events. Your horse looks gorgeous! :)

I would also go L/XL. I'm a size 10 and I take a M

I guess I haven't looked recently so I assume more entries have gone in :) good to hear that there is still a good line up. I converted to dressage two years ago and haven't rideen for 6 months so I'm way too excited I think. I'm really out of practice so we are aiming for the 80cm, somebody...

Doesn't change my opinion on the venue either, I was just intrigued. I was mainly commenting on the higher levels as I remember in previous years it was very popular, with a star-studded lineup. But following the numerous falls in th water at the higher levels maybe it's understandbale. It...

Am I the only one that's slightly confused? I've only seen the brief announcements on their FB but it seems that the change of hands isn't going ahead just yet. I really need to know what date they are holding the unaffiliated event. All being well with my knee I will be competing our little...

As somebody who has just gone off to university in 2014 I would say uni!!! I sold my horse in the summer and although it was hard, it was the only sensible thing to do. Do I miss riding? Not really, you find other things to fill your time and believe me, there are so many new things and new...

I've been on a health kick since I sold my 17.2hh Dutch Warmblood. I competed at Medium level dressage and to enable us to succeed at that level I had to dedicate a lot of my time to training and with working over 40 hours a week I was struggling fitting in anything else on top of the riding...

Hope you all have a fantastic time! I won the Novice and Elementary Junior classes last year and really wish I was going again this year. It was one of the best weekends of my life and I will definitely remember it for years to come. Best of luck to everybody :)

I had a Thorowgood T6 on my lad. It was nice and light and perfectly suited to his changing shape. I did Medium BD in it so it was enough to keep me in place despite being sat on a big moving warmblood. It was the best decision we made. He would have had a leather one if he wasn't so susceptible...
