    What did/are you all doing with your horses if you have exams this yr?

    I have my GCSEs, and i am not planning on changing everything. providing you do the revision in advance- easter hols etc. then you will only be checking up on things nearer the time so should still be able to ride... plus you don't need to revise all the time! Will continue to compete...
