I'm sure this has been done before but I couldn't find a recent thread. I'm in the market for a new bp. I got a long service monetary award form work and so instead of the usual new watch or TV I'm going to get a new bp to commemorate the slaving away I've done over the last 5 years to feed...

I've read a few threads on feeding Turmeric and I'm going to give it a go. My horse is only 7 but I have noticed when she's worked her hocks click. As I've heard it has good results for joints I thought I'd try Turmeric first. It seems everyone feeds it with Black Pepper for absorption and also...

Has anyone experienced a horse with a face that swells up and down? Its not significant, but noticeable up close. Usually it's most obvious in that hollow above her eyes, it's suddenly completely flat rather than hollow and when she chews its quite a prominent bulge. Its not hot, she is not...

This made me laugh, sounds just like my friends pony, he's only used for hacking and farts his way along :-P I'll tell her to try mint over winter when he starts being fed again at the mo he's like a little hot air balloon full of grass.

This is my first year I'll have been registered BE. I started in June at BE80 and have so far managed 1 a month. There are 2 that I really fancy in September because they look so lovely and inviting when I looked at the pics for last year on shoe string (West wilts 3 & Munstead 2) but they are...

I had a horse for 4 years who really wrecked my confidence jumping (he was not at all genuine, sharp & spooky even over just poles no fillers), and after a reality check from my instructor sold him last July. I used to compete at around 90cm in the pony club before I bought him, did a couple of...

Hello, this may sound really silly but how do you know who the trainers are at a BE80T? I'm doing my first one at Ascott-Under-Whychwood next weekend, hopefully it will go smoothly and I wont need any last minute help from the trainers, but if I do, how do I recognise them and engage their help...

A good support system! Whether that be Horsey friends or a good instructor. I couldn't live without people to bounce ideas off, and to lend a helping hand.

That sounds ideal! I am so flexible and don't mind if the sharer just wants to hack or school or compete - just as long as Darcy is happy and looked after and everyone is as safe as can be when horses are involved.

Absolutely - I've been very honest and would never hold back anything I know. God I totally forgot about rider insurance - I'll make sure i check that if i ever find someone suitable. In my advert (on a local horsey FB page) I have clearly stated the importance of a confident adult rider to to...

Ok, so i appreciate that it is Winter time and it is hard on all of us Horse owners/loaners. However this year seems to feel far tougher than last year & the year before! So I have decided a Sharer is the way forward. Some background Info: I bought a new horse in July and adored the fact she...

the link is www.horseandhound.co.uk/etraining it explains about what it is and then at the bottom there's a "click here" to sign up.

I read in H& H whilst baby sitting for a neighbor that they were supporting e-training. I thought HOW FANTASTIC. I like going out competing, despite this I am still scoring 5's & 6's with the odd 7 but i just love going for the thrill and atmosphere- i don't mind that I'm never, ever near the...

So i have been TC before... a long time ago, on a darling little pony that knew her job well. 10 years on, I'm in a team again.. on a horse I've only had 3 months, and only taken XC schooling twice. How did this happen I hear you ask.. well its all a bit of a blur! My schooling sessions on...

I know right!!!!! :D Can't wait!
