    What happens if whole country on lockdown???

    I'm going to follow someone else's idea here and take his passport. Will go down early before anyone and try to avoid everyone until I get some clarification. I wrote to my MP earlier asking what would happen if they announced lockdown but didn't expect it this soon. Really hope he gets back...

    What happens if whole country on lockdown???

    Now terrified. Can't stop crying so worried I won't be allowed down. On a livery yard, am the only DIY. Don't think I can cope without being allowed to see my boy. Don't care if I can't ride as he's done suspensory ligament anyway but so worried. No sleep for me tonight.

    Retirement Livery - success stories!!

    Hi, can't comment on good/bad places for retirement, but as for success stories i can tell you my old riding school successfully sent four to a place somewhere near me (up north and a LONG time ago).

    Camping for a novice!

    Ok I've camped in a rover 100 and wild camped loads in a tent, yes it can get cold, was Baltic in the rover, i found my old heavy weight rug over the sleeping bag worked wonders (cleaned of course). Head torches are great! Camping stoves for food and hot water are really good if you can't...

    10 in the early 90s, but wasn't allowed on the roads until 13. D could be flighty but he always took care of me and my mom trusted him to bring me back home safe :-).
