    Trailer without huge budget!

    I bought a Bateson Ascot for £2000, I love it, it's spacious a bright and quite lightweight. I travel 1 550kg horse in it off a Freelander very happily :)

    Wooden fence eating

    I have this problem with my two horses. They are both fed a high forage diet, with high fibre feed twice a day. They have a multi vitamin supplement, garlic and a gut supplement. They have both been treated for ulcers (and re scoped clear later on) and managed as well as I can for gut health...

    'Dodgy Dealer' sites.....

    I think there is a place for a 'review' system. However my experience has been that not all groups are managed fairly - many dealers are unable to share the other side to a story and often anyone who tries to defend them sharing a positive experience is removed from the group. I hasten to add...

    If you were buying a 5 year old...

    I bought a 5 year old last year, she was unbacked. Personally I would far sooner see an unbacked or lightly backed 5 year old than one that has done a fair amount of competing and training. Although it is nice if by that age they are at least happy under saddle and hacking.

    Water Treadmills - Anyone Used One?

    I have been using one for the past few weeks, my horse is going twice a week for the next 5 weeks then will probably still go once a week. He is a total drama queen and a bit of a wimp, he spent most his time worrying about everything else but coped very well once on the treadmill and working...

    Protexin Acid Ease and Gut Balancer?

    I have been feeding my horses the gut balancer for about 2 weeks now, and have definitely noticed an improvement in the one that I know has gut issues. I did wonder about Acid ease as far as if I have noticed an improvement if I should give him a course of that too to really get things in check...

    symptoms of SI, kissing spines?

    Hi there, my horse was diagnosed with Kissing Spine and SI issues last July. He was 110% sound as a pound, he had a full poor performance work up as I knew something wasn't right. Same as you, his symptoms were vague, and very easily misread as poor schooling or bad behavouir. He struggled...

    When did an 80/90 'eventer' become special?

    How to ban the bounce

    I reviewed a product called the Booband earlier this year - I would highly recommend. Super supportive, super comfortable but also so easy to put on that I no longer have to worry about getting changed before I ride (on the top half) from work. :)

    When did an 80/90 'eventer' become special?

    Many others beat me to it, but since Badminton Grassroots started! Not only that but there are many other competitions of an unaffiliate nature, and not forgetting how popular British Riding Clubs has become! There is a real big market for a good, consistent grassroots horse.

    2017 Round up - and onto the next!

    Well done Leanne, what a great year you have had. 2017 for me has left a little to be desired, I can't remember exactly what my aims were but I can tell you they weren't anything like what actually happened. There have been monumental highs - And then some serious lows -...
