I’m not sure what you’re not seeing, or rather maybe what I am seeing is different, but when I open the new app the temperature, general overview (eg. Light showers) feels like, rain percentage and wind gusts are all at the very top and the first thing I see

Going against the grain, I really like the new updated Met Office app!

This may sound harsh, but this just isn’t your problem. Riding and horses are supposed to be enjoyable, and it doesn’t really sound like you are getting a lot from this arrangement. It would entirely different if the horse was yours and you had to work through the problem, but it isn’t and I’m...

Sabre without a doubt. Although I was impressed with the quality of Le Mieux when I had to replace my double. Not sure if they do what you’re looking for though

Sadly I did, 21 years ago. Aged connection between pole and line caused the line to collapse during high winds and killed one of my horses that was standing under it outright. Unfortunately I can’t really offer any advice or assistance as the power company in my case could not have been better...

Dartmoor would be around min of 30 mins from Junction 31 M5 depending on what you are driving and where you wanted to go. People ride on Exmouth Beach but most I know will box from somewhere else. I forgot in my first response there is also Halden Forest just off the A38 near the racecourse...

Hacking around Exeter is not brilliant, you’d want to be on the eastern side of the city - Woodbury Common / Broadclyst way. I paid £135 pw for full livery (not inc riding) and there were a few stealth charges so in reality it was more than that. I was the otherside and hacking was poor, mainly...

My mare is by Killea Island out of a very very smart AID mare. I don’t know much about Irish breeding to be honest, and mine is about 33% blood so how much of him rubs off on her I’m not sure. She is super hot, super sharp, super sensitive. She has been both the most challenging horse to train...

Another who wouldn’t touch a WUAS with a barge pole. Despite my general aversion to them previously, I bought one. Wasn’t one of my best life choices …

I could add mine we could make a blanket?

There are certain brands of saddle that are always going to sell and the cost of which will remain static - Wintecs, Thoroughgoods, older Albions and Ideals for example. These will all usually fall into the £600 or less category and people are usually willing to take a punt on them fitting or at...

Assuming everything else is fine, maybe think about clipping her out. Don’t underestimate how much being too hot, particularly when combined with being fat, makes a difference to horses wanting to work.

Not peroneal tendonititis but I have previously strained the peroneal tendon. Whilst it can feel fairly innocuous in comparison to other things it’s not something to just leave untreated as in absolute worse case scenarios it can lead to longer term foot drop. Physio, ultrasound and rest (day...

I’d definitely winter in Southern California!

I sadly lost a horse who was struck by an electricity cable coming down in the field she was in. It sadly one of those uncontrollables
