I'm at the end of a 3 year teaching degree and start my NQT year at a lovely school in September. For the first year at home my horse was on DIY and for the first term it was ok, but after that I struggled. To keep me sane and to keep her in a proper routine with turn out at the same time and...

Does anyone know if they are doing free tickets for July's Hickstead on the Saturday? I've got things to do on the day but only live 10 mins away so thought I would pop down if there is any free tickets, otherwise it's quite a lot to pay for only a couple of hours.

That's perfect! Thank you! Have had a look online and most still have rooms too :)

Got tickets for team dressage on the 2nd of August. Day starts at 11am and doors open at 9. Was thinking to save myself a bit of stress on the day would be nice to travel up day before and stay one night. So.....are there any hotels close to the area? and a better question is will they have...

I'm looking a bit into the future here as my horse is only 16 and very fit and healthy. I plan to keep my horse until the day she goes to rainbow bridge, due to finances and time (as I'm at uni) she is currently on loan to an equine college. I plan for her to be there for about another 3...

Agree with poster above I am insured with Petplan (who have been fantastic throughout) and a few years ago I moved vets as the new vets was over the road from my livery yard and I could walk my horses over there for jabs, teeth etc and no call out. So my horse had some lameness issues, the...

Thank you for all your helpful replies. She is having her vetting this week so after reading all your replies I think I am going to (subject to her passing the vetting) ask for 20% deposit, with the rest of the money being given when I drop her off. If this doesn't sound ok, please let me...

Am selling my horse and have had a few people come to view her. The latest want her but due to their circumstances cannot take her for a month. I want to ask for a deposit so that if they change their minds I haven't been waiting around for a month when other people could have seen her. What...

In all honesty I'm much more concerned with home than with price. But she's a pony that could go out and compete tomorrow so I was lenient to ask for a lower price as it might attract the wrong kind of buyer.

SuzieT - she can comfortably jump a 1m course, was out two weeks ago doing unaff novice dressage, and has done hunter trails etc in the past. She's basicly a fun, do a bit of everything pony, her only problem is she doesn't like hacking alone. I've put on ad she hacks perfectly in company, I've...

This has also been post in NL but thought it may be better suited to CR. I've put my horse up for sale and have so far had no response. So my question is; is there a market for the older horse and would you buy one? My horse is only 16, is in hard work and is a native so has plenty of...

Thanks for all replies :) Don't think I'm being too unrealistic on price. I've put her up for £1600 but think it's worth it as she's a sporty allrounder who is younger than her years.

I've put my horse up for sale and have so far had no response. So my question is; is there a market for the older horse and would you buy one? My horse is only 16, is in hard work and is a native so has plenty of miles left on the clock so I don't understand it really. So if there's...

He doesn't mind paying out - his motto is he's not going to grow anymore so may as well buy the best!
