    Best holiday destination with dogs

    Just got back from a week in Bournemouth with my Shiba. Right at the end of Sandbanks, where the chain ferry to Swanage is, is lovely stretch of beach which is dog friendly. There's a lovely dog friendly cafe in The Triangle in Bournemouth, and your also a short drive away from some really nice...

    Trailer test experiences!

    As everyone else has said, remember: mirrors, mirrors, mirrors! You're allowed to pull forward, to sort yourself out, twice on your reverse manoeuvre. And you only get 1 minor if you use both shunts. (I pulled forward once and got 1 minor, but my instructor kept repeating in my lessons that...

    Welcome to HHO Towing Clinic

    Hi ROG! Thought I totally I understood the weights, but turns out I'm really struggling with buying a car! (Have the B+E licence, have the trailer) If I have a trailer with an unladen weight of 860 and my horses combined weight is around the 1200 mark and obviously got to make allowance for...

    Quarter sheets...

    The Equo ones look quite good, don't have one personally but have heard a lot of good reviews about them from people that do, and can be made in custom colours too!

    Clipper help!

    I've got a hairy cob who I fully clip out. I use the Liveryman Red Rocket clippers, and they're amazing on his very thick and coarse coat! They're mains clippers but are fairly quiet and light (in comparison to other mains clippers I've used).

    Any wedding next year :D

    I started planning about a year ago (actually typing that makes me feel weird... has it really been a year since we got engaged?!?!?!) so I'm still under the impression that I have 2 years left! Haha!

    Any wedding next year :D

    September 2017! Struggling between thinking I have ages and getting on a roll! Got the big things done I think (or most of them anyway), so I suppose we're nearly there really...

    What did you do "wrong" when buying?

    Was looking for a 3-4 year old that would make no bigger than 15.3-16hh as I'm so short. When I went to see him: 1. Already bigger than I wanted at 16.1hh and still growing. (not a massive height difference I know, but he's still growing!!!!) 2. Insisted I saw him tacked up and that I got on...

    Hypermobility and riding- feeling a bit down

    I really struggled with HMS during my teens (my GP gave me a sheet of exercises to do and that was my "prescription" for treatment...). I had danced since I was very little, but found that the more I trained that it really seemed to help. I also tried Karate which seemed to help too. I still...

    Reassure me fellow commuters...

    I think the long and short of it all is that generally it is difficult. I have my three on Assisted DIY in winter (DIY in summer) but if I had to go down twice a day on weekdays during the winter I'm honestly not sure how I would manage. So my tip to you to make your life easier is to opt for...

    Derby house

    I ordered some own brand rugs from them. Never received a confirmation email or anything but received the rugs a couple of days later. Then ordered another own brand rug from them the same day I received the others, and received all the emails (and then the rug a couple of days later).

    Your favourite thing about your horse

    It's so hard to pick just one thing about my lot! B - has to be her sass and stroppiness! She's such a little horse but has such a big personality, and an opinion on everything. One time she was so opposed to staying in her stable she jumped out and ran off to her field. But despite our...

    Cold Weather = Naughty Ponies!!

    My usually slug like WB has disappeared and been replaced by a loon! He seems to be calming down a bit though now that it's been cold for a few days. Think it was just the initial shock as he had been clipped just as the cold snap was starting!
