Thanks so much for this. I have phoned them and am about to send an email to Rachel with lots of info. Hopefully she can advise with a specific exercise programme. Thanks again Tiddlypom, I'm so grateful for your help.

Thanks Tiddlypom ( love the name!). Yes, hopefully Casey76 has a contact. Sorry about the double thread - thought I'd noted it. Fingers crossed.

Thanks Casey76, I'm in Aquitaine near Cognac. Would be very grateful for a phone number... thanks this looks hopeful!!

Thanks, I have asked and await their answer.

Thanks Wheels, but I have tried to get an equine vet already! We live in a non-horsey area - just vines I'm afraid. SO anyone with any expertise is either not taking on new clients as they are already overloaded, or they are simply too far away to want to travel here. The only help I get is...

I should add that I have the opinion of a vet - when showed the book on core muscle exercises the comment was 'ah, we don't do that sort of thin in France'. The mare gets acupuncture but we urgently need to try to build muscle up using static exercises. I've managed this successfully before with...

Thanks for the info-- I feel shopping coming on!

I am bringing guests to an event near Cheltenham and will be driving up from Portsmouth. I thought a visit to a nice large tack shop/ saddlery en route would be fun. Any recommendations in the Newbury/ Oxford area please, or anywhere special further south towards Portsmouth? TIA.

Merlod, where abouts are these please? Only recognise Stroud which will be good for a visit and can check Colne Valley website for their position but not sure about Hunt Horses or Sydney Free?

Great name for a place... off to google where it is. I feel a detour coming on! Thanks Meesha.

Which town is Pickers in, please. I'm not from the area!

I am bringing friends to the British Dressage convention at Hartpury in November. Can anyone help with names and locations of good tack shops. We'll be able to travel if there is somewhere worthwhile. My visitors are French so they will be blown away by what's available in the UK. The bigger the...
