    Horse Insurance

    Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this in, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any good horse insurance companies? I've heard of NFU Mutual being good (and to steer clear of E&L). What are peoples' experiences with their insurance companies? Thanks!

    Finding horse

    I'm not sure where you're based but I know of someone in Sussex who brings in youngsters (4-6) from Ireland, and these can be from family cobs to competition warmbloods. She does a 1 week money-back guarantee and 3 month exchange period with the ones she brings over from Ireland (so if it's not...

    Oh really? I've not heard about that superstition! I'm usually too unoriginal to change names :) Lewis is a lovely name for a horse! Very Royal :p Thank you for the options tho! :)

    Horse Names

    Hi guys, I'm just about to buy a chestnut mare, she's currently called Laine (pronounced laney), but I'm not super keen on the name. Any suggestions or names which jump out at you based on the pics? (Please no "self-fulfilling" names, like Orange, Pumpkin, Ginger etc) :) Thanks in advance!:)...

    London Equestrian Centre (Enfield) - Livery

    Sorry I did mean Mill Hill - i get the area confused! Oh perfect, thank you! Do they have places to tie up horses to groom during the summer when the weather is nice? Do you remember what the lady's name was, so I can contact her directly? Hacking isn't a deal breaker but it would be nice -...
