I've decided to be brave and entered our first outdoor eventer trial this sunday but don't know what to wear! It just says 'suitable clothes' on the schedule. Non peak hats, back protectors and medical cards compulsory so do I assume its full xc attire or do I go for showjumping jacket and...

Just found an event I'd like to do and multimap says its an hour away which is usually my limit with the trailer but just talking to the OH and he asked if it was going over the road ferry. I looked and it is but to go round adds 45mins to my journey which almost doubles it! just wondering if...

thanks I'd seen the treehouse ones but they look quite thick? I want something thin to go under my back protector The Miranda Theobald ones look good, lots of choice! This is going to take me ages!

Hi people! I'm after a thin long sleeved xc top and wondered what you'd recommend (or not as the case maybe!) Thanks in advance!

excellent thanks, will give them a look!

ok thanks everyone. The land will be leased from the local town council on a rolling 12 month agreement which as I understand it basically means for as long as I want it (hoping i understand it correctly!) hopefully we wont have to move from the farm for another few months so I can get this...

Great news! any pics?

excellent thanks guys, how long after Grazon before horses can go on it? What exactly does grazon get rid of?

Hi guys I've been offered a piece of land but unfortunately it is in quite a state at the moment. The whole thing needs fencing and is waist high with thistles and buttercups and looks pretty crappy but the field next door which has been looked after is really nice so I'm hoping there is hope...

Could you not take him out to some friendly small local shows or in hand classes etc so he gets to see the atmosphere but doesn't have to compete (unless inhand youngstock obv!)

Sorry got nothing useful to add, just to say I've found this very interesting reading, my mare seems to be very similar, jumps fine at home or on schooling days but seems to get stage fright and starts stopping or trying to chip in short ones when were out even though the classes I put her in...
