I'm looking for a booster-seat type of thing for my small labrador (she's only 11kg) Can anyone recommend products? She likes to see out the front as we drive, but has a habit of trying to sit in between the two front seats at the moment, to lean on my shoulder, which is rather dangerous...

Hmmm, no replies yet, so I wonder that nobody bought one of these rugs since they were launched, and that's why they are on sale?!!

Thinking about getting a Premier Equine Titan Azor rug in the sale - does anyone have experience of these rugs?

Thanks guys, that's been really helpful

Can anyone share experience of going for a lesson on a dressage schoolmaster? I guess it's kind of 'market research'! - What level did you want to ride at? Were there specific movements you wanted to try? - What was the quality of the horse, and instruction? - What was the quality of the...

I'm looking for a rider to get to know her; hack, school a bit, compete if they want and then if things work out a full loan or perhaps even sale might be available. She's much loved, so just finding a kind, competent person is our priority; everything else can be worked out down the line!! PM...

My 9 yr old can achieve some lovely piaffe half steps, but I'd like to start introducing a hint of passage here and there, but it's not going very well! He's a big mover but can get fast and choppy, and when i ask for more collection/expression toward passage, he tends to get quicker and his...

i have both a separate prolite pad, and a numnah with integral prolite most of the time i prefer the integral version; its much more secure and no chance of pad slipping

Agree - the judge will penalise you most for a pirouette that 'sticks' - where the horse leaves a hind foot on the ground and pivots around it; or a pirouette where the quarters swing out. I find practicing lots of 1/4 pirouettes is a great next step once you've got the idea of the big 8m...

Do you have to pay to get into the Dressage at hickstead this weekend, if you don't want to go over to the showjumping?
