Does anyone know what happens at the Monty Roberts Private Audience at his demos? I am a IH member so can go, but can't decide whether to go at 6pm for the private audience or just at 7.30pm for the main demo. Any info about what happens during it would be appreciated. Is it just a informal...

Quote from website: Horse Gallops & Horse Rings Our Recycled Crushed Glass has successfully been used in the creation of state of the art indoor and outdoor equine facilities. Given the amount of investment involved in this industry, the specification requirements are high, and...

Has anyone got any experience of crushed glass or know anything about it as an arena surface? We are in the middle of constructing a arena and have been recommended crushed glass however I have not heard of this previously. Any advise greatly appreciated!

Has anyone had any experience with tendon injuries? Noticed on Friday that one of the mares was slightly lame, no heat no swelling, mainly on the turns. Turned her back out, and cold hosed her over the weekend, slight swelling and heat developed around the fetlock joint. The vet came...

I forgot to say size 5 1/2 or 5 3/4

I'm looking to buy a Neue Schule pelham or double bridle set, I bought the snaffle new from them, but as I'll only be using the pelham/double for showing I don't want to pay the full wack for it. If anyone has one that they wish to sell please send me a message. Thanks

I'll be having a go at a few M&M Working Hunter HOYS qualifyers this year. Which bit is correct (or most preferred bit) to use in this class? I'd say the horse goes just as well in a snaffle, pellham and double - so it's not a case that she goes better in one (which would make the decision...

Really dim question, I've never bought anything, but have a look now and again...but are the they 'seconds' that they sell on there?

I've realised that my black jacket looks quite dull with it's black buttons. Does anyone know of any equine websites which sell buttons individually? Which do you think look best gold or silver?

Yes it is, as long as you've got the experience and don't mind putting the extra work in! I did my Stage 1, 2, 3 and PTT whilst being in full time education and studying a Law degree, and became a BHSAI when i was 21. So yes, go for it!

Wintec wide is great for our sec.D as she outgre her 'normal' one which started roling. I'm a bit disappointed that my wintec dressage is rolling on my other rmare now though

It's one of the the things you have to deal with when it comes to showing, that it can be 'bent', and although it's wrong it would be almost impossible for it to end. Especially with the welshies when everyone knows everyone, and lots of favours get done, and who uses who's stallions etc etc...

Have you had them? I'm online and could check too

It's difficult to tell when she's in season, she went to stud last year and they had trouble getting her into season there. She's quite a hot mare, but usually after being warmed up she settles and goes well. Although at times (like tonight) she just won't settle and relax and spends the whole...

Has anyone had any experience of which they find best? I have a mare who is very excitable and can get tense so going to try one of these to see if it can chill her out a bit. Thanks,
