Ah now this was another question I had she will be exactly 1 year old, are they expected to be bitted ( mildly) at this age) ?? I was intending on just using her filly slip ( bridle) if it still fits . Since posting have been back outside with her and had a practice again had a job keeping up...

Ok so I have entered our beautifull Showmaker filly for her first in hand show at Woodbridge so only approx 6 weeks to go, she is lead in and out every day and well handled so running her out wont be a problem, or so I thought until I took her into a side field and she has decided its all a big...

I am thinking of replacing my wood fibre surface, when we built the menage we were originally going to have rubber, so already have a 4 inch layer of silica sand at the bottom and then 8 inches of wood fibre over the top, it is now rotting and discolouring, so from memory I rode on a surface...

Hi As a professional in this industry,A BIG sticking point im afraid is insurance whilst it is the property of someone else, it may be classed as hire and reward, you would have to be incredibly honest with the insurers as to what you are doing as you may find yourself with null and void...

Can anyone suggest some decent shows to take my rising 1 year old to0, preferably in the East Anglia Region, she is by Showmaker so a very fancy young lady, so ideally I am looking for some potential sports / dressage horse classes ideally at county level or at least , where I dont have to go up...

We have a super filly out of Showmaker, born last May, the temprament is out of this world, and the paces are just to die for, I would choose him again and again, we feel we have something very special from him. I also feel as an every day rider that I would actually be able to deal with the...

Hi We run these soley on our horsebox hire fleet and have a variety of the Equitrek Range, if you want to talk to me about them for an unbiased opinion , I would be happy to do so, we have had all sorts of horses of all shapes and sizes good loaders bad loaders, mums and babies to competition...

Dont know if it helps but Manningtree horsebox hire www.essexequineselfdrive.co.uk will deliver for 40p a mile and they have a good mileage allowance, we had to use them in an emergency and they let us pick up at midnight to get our horse to the vets .

Absolutley spot on you are doing the right thing, I did exactly the same with my mare , and normally the clippers and scissors have to be prized out of my hands, in fact my mare spent the summer out at a very posh dressage yard after being covered and they got the shaggy look going for me, she...

Hoping someone may have some experience of this, basically we are looking to purchase a 2 year old that should make approx 14.2, she has a small history of a locking patella ( excuse the spelling if it is incorrect), the vet has said it is not a surgical case and the youngster should grow out of...
