Will keep purusing, did see a nice one on eBay the other night which was a GFS make, I don't know whether that's any good or not?? In an ideal world I'd...

    Anyone ever completed the BHS horse owners certificate?

    I have done my level 1 and passed it 90% :-) I took two hour lessons with one hour theory and one hour practical for about ten weeks then took a final exam at the end :-)
