Keysoe is great, lots of bridleways. It's eight miles north of Bedford and an easy drive in and out of town. House next door to me up for sale!

I live in Keysoe and keep my horse in the village. It's great, lots of off-road hacking and the roads are not too bad. Equestrian centre on doorstep that has lots going on. I would come to North Beds and have a drive around to get a feel for the place. Best of luck.

That's a good tip - I'll give that a go. Thank you all very much.

sounds like this might be the answer - thanks (and to AliH). Hopefully new one will be willing to back out!!

thanks to all for the reassurance and tips. Haven't been able to go out today but we have a schooling session tomorrow so hopefully that will not have any hazards to overcome.

Yes, I keep telling myself it was a one off. It's a route we have done lots before but usually at weekend when there aren't the level of lorries and vans on the road. I will keep to the bridleways as much as possible and rebuild our confidence. I feel sure she was scared and because I held...

My mare which I've had for 5 months went up in the air today whilst out on a hack. We had seen alot of traffic (for a quiet country road), big grain lorries, artics and horseboxes which she had coped with, though I knew she was getting a bit stressed. We were almost home and a horse box came...
