You could try Frolic farm in Lode, though that may be another polo only yard. There are also livery yards in Fulbourn and the land settlement at Great Abington.

Thank you for the replies everyone :) I've used non-slip pads of various types with dozens of horses over the years and they would always be my first choice. A good cheap alternative to try is the grippy mesh you can get for keeping stuff on caravan shelves. Unfortunately my horse objects to...

Since the grass has finally decided to grow my horse has changed from horse-shaped to giant animated beach ball and her saddle has started to slip forwards (not helped by no wither, forward girth groove, flat back and bum high conformation). I know that once she slims down and looks more like an...

Thank you for the replies everyone :) My white horse delivery was from the end of December. Previous batches last autumn and last spring have not been too bad, but the bags on the current batch are so bad that over 10% of the bags have split already and we've only had them two weeks. People...

Fed up with white horse, the pellets are great but the bags awful. So, has anyone here used swift energy pellets? Are they any good or will they mess up my beds? For very wet horses/poorly drained stables.

Thank you everyone. It is good to know that I am not alone and that there is hope.

Has anyone here ever completely list their nerve following accident/nasty experiences/near miss and managed to regain it? If so, how have you regained it? Thanks in advance.

Rosewood in Chippenham advertised a couple of DIY places recently. https://www.facebook.com/Rosewoodstud/posts/845456785508214

Thank you everyone for your helpful replies. I couldn't agree more - and that is why I wouldn't consider a practice other than NEH or Rossdales.

I need to register my new horse with a vet, and get her vaccinations started. I am very lucky that both Rossdales and Newmarket Equine Hospital cover the area I am in. I have been previously registered with one practice, but I am considering changing for a couple of reasons. Does anyone here...

I suggest joining the Harmony Dressage facebook group, they have a lot of members in that part of Norfolk so someone there may be able to help https://www.facebook.com/groups/392042077527679/?fref=ts

I used to be on a yard with a 15x30 where the surface was not good, the track was often a deep furrow with all corners cut off, and I often had to share with 4 or 5 other people. It wasn't ideal, but it was a lot better than having no school.

I've filled it in. I do wonder if responses may be slightly skewed as I suspect the people most likely to fill in the survey are those who wear high viz.

Does anyone know when gas guns are likely to be turned off? I will soon be in the position to hack out again after a long break, and a quick reccy has revealed gas guns within 5 metres of two local tracks. These tracks are needed to reach the only circular routes which are less than 90 minutes...

Do you have any more details on Shane Walsh (web site? business name?) Fed up of viewing lame horses with private sellers.
