No feeling guilty- needs must and fresh air, seeing different things and people etc is good for babies. :) If I have the option, I tend to leave Mini FigJam at home as it's just easier for me- she is a bit of a diva when she wakes from a nap so I spend more time swinging the car seat to try...

Congratulations! :) As someone in pretty much an identical situation (Mini FigJam now 3.5 months old), I'm keen to see what replies appear here. ;) At the moment I'm finding regular riding tricky (although mostly weather related to be fair recently!) as I'm also still BF and trying to time...

I think I'm Team William, would just be nice to have another Brit get the Grand Slam and he would always wonder "what if..." about last year's Badminton having been cancelled (and no Michael Jung at that one!). Although I'd rather someone won it than no one, so Andrew my next favourite...

Aw, thanks for asking after Hopalong and I! :o I confess I've been very lazy about logging in and contributing lately as I've been doing diddly squat and so feel I don't have anything to add of interest. :( As per the below, there is a mini-FigJam due late Summer (hoping to still manage to...

We have a house rabbit Dougie. He is fab, 18 months old now and a proper wee character. He likes to sit up on the window sill and watch the world go by (and it's a favoured place just for snoozing too); Although sometimes you need a good flop out to properly snooze... ;) He is very...

Thanks- these are all things we employ at Blair so have them sorted. Agree the running order sheets from secretary tent (or public info at an event as big as Badminton I guess as us minions won't get anywhere near actual secretary!) definitely helpful and although we'll try be stocked up on...

Yup, according to the website they come with mattresses (none of your slumming it on airbeds! ;) ) "The 'bunkpad' comes with a solid floor and carpet. The 'bunkpad' accommodates 4 adults and comes with two sets of bunkbeds. The bunks are handmade in quality softwood with a slatted base and...

Ah, that doesn't sound bad at all- what's an extra 20-30mins when we'll spend all day walking around the XC anyway! :) Will probably be a big time saver on Sunday, we can suss it out on Thurs/Fri when we get there. :) Although we might need to park closer other days to dump shopping in?! ;)...

Ha Joss, I am indeed the excuse for glamping rather than camping! ;) We're in a podpad thing (glorified shed really!) with bunkbeds, light and a power socket- essential for charging iPhones at the end of each day! :rolleyes: Very excited about the trip , never been to a 4* so will be a tick...

My RC were due to send a team down to Hartpury for BRC SJ champs this weekend. This morning, having spoken further with someone who is dealing with confirmed EHV cases and the fact that their horse did not show temperature rise, we have decided to withdraw as the concern is that if some horses...

Thanks, I can't believe that a horse who has suffered so many random non-ridden injuries came away from it unscathed! But not complaining about that at all. :) Cheers K. It was weird, she definitely wasn't backing off the fence and didn't feel like she was spooking/looking at anything to...

Thank you, I know, it's just ridiculous this whole year has either been Hopalong not right, weather/ground not right or now me not right! :mad: It does seem that the chances of all of the above being right are as remote as winning the lottery! :rolleyes: Thanks Saz, glad you think H is...

Thank you, I guess we have been very lucky not to have had a fall prior to now statistically, but I am still gutted about it. :( Thanks, and thanks again for the video, it was interesting to be able to watch back and see if I could spot anything to explain it (although too far away to tell...

Aw, that's a fab piccie, what a lovely idea. I'm very sorry I didn't get a chance to contribute :( but had no idea anything was happening, that'll teach me to be absent from here recently! The kermit addition is very funny, great artist. :)

Report 3 - Gleneagles HT 7th Oct. We had entered the 90cm class at Gleneagles and since it's a flat, short course, thought it would be fun to team up with my yard pal/hacking buddy to do the 75cm pairs class before. We hack out together all the time and our horses are like clones in terms of...
