    Best short jodhpur/trainer boots?

    That's good to know! I am not too worried about the ankle support - really just looking for the comfort. Did you find the sizing was true to size? Saw a couple of reviews which suggested they were quite tight and came up a bit small

    Best short jodhpur/trainer boots?

    Hey all, looking for some recommendations for some comfy, trainer style short boots to ride in - something that isn't so rigid! We've been doing a lot more long rides and exploring the world of endurance and I'm struggling with my feet, my Shires Moretta long boots killed the balls of my feet...

    Help! Pony tanking off with me more frequently...

    He's just on turnout and hay and literally a handful of Bailey's light chaff to go with his supplement.

    Help! Pony tanking off with me more frequently...

    Help! My pocket rocket cob is the fittest I've had him, he's great fun, loves a good gallop and is certainly quirky.

    Feeling down

    You sound just like me! I was looking for a bombproof schoolmaster for my first ever 'owned' horse - always loaned before - and I ended up with a green 5 year old! I was falling off left, right and centre with all his spooks/bucks/tricks at first but nearly 2 years later I can pretty much deal...

    Saddle recommendations for an arthritis sufferer?

    Hi all, I've been riding all my life but do suffer from Rheumatoid arthritis and a muscle weakening condition. I'm not the most balanced in the saddle and certainly not the most stylish! I've had my Cob in a Wintec VSD for the past two years and have found it a comfy saddle but I do suffer...

    Feeding advice?

    I'm looking forward to welcoming a new addition in the next couple of weeks but wondering whether I should switch his feeds up. He's a 4YO Cob x TB who does need strengthening up over time etc. He's currently being fed Spillers Shine+Conditioning Mix, Spillers Horse and Pony cubes and a bit...
