    Stirrups for knackered knees!

    As the title says really! I’m sure there’s been countless posts over the years, but - as we’re going into 2025 - I imagine there has been plenty new releases over the years! I currently ride in the Shires Compositi ones, but I’ve had these for years and I’m hoping to upgrade in the boxing day...

    Is it bad that I want to full clip my horse

    I full clip Harley all year round; regardless of his workload. He gets very hot and itchy. Easier to groom and nicer for your pony! As others have said, you can always rug up!

    Full Cheek Kind Snaffles

    Another one for Myler! My lad is in a loose ring for schooling & hacking, and a pelham for jumping etc. I've tried him with allsorts, and this is definitely the nicest mouthpiece I've used by far!

    Showing - Where have all the classes gone??

    There was a handful of local shows I had planned on doing this year with my boy, competing in the working hunter. I had planned on attending 5 shows, however only one has working hunter classes!! Looking at the show schedule, it seems all the shows have sacked off any of the jumping elements...

    Livery Yards - Apperley Bridge

    Can anyone recommend any full/part liveries with space in Dec/Jan for one lovely gelding? 20 mins radius of Apperley Bridge. Enquired at so many, but they’re all FULL UP😅 Must have floodlit arena & year-round turnout.

    Full Livery People - Do you see your horse daily?

    I don’t see Harley every day! To be honest, I probably only see him 2/3 times a week? I’ve a part loaner that rides 3x a week, then I only go up to ride! I do try go up and see him when I’m not riding, but it never quite works out like that.

    Side loading trailers

    Someone on our yard used to have an equitrek and hated it! She said she’d never have another as it was awful to tow and that she’d stick with ifor or cheval liberte. I’ve also never been keen on side loaders, but think that’s because my horse hates them! I was speaking to my yard owner and...

    Hiring out my horse trailer?

    The only issue is there’s only one trailer hire company within an hour of me. I’ve used them previously a handful of times but she regularly cancelled on me to use it herself - the last time costing me a hunt cap - and she never refunded me for my missed events. It’s why I’m considered hiring...

    Hiring out my horse trailer?

    Hi all! I’ve an ifor williams 505 in good condition (recently been serviced with electrics redone & new tyres!). I bought it a few months ago and it’s been on 2 outings (one of which was lending to another lady on the yard?). I’m thinking of hiring it out as I could do with the extra cash. I...

    Choosing a trailer? Single/Double?

    And also don’t forget to consider what your car can tow; ROG on the forums is most helpful for towing weights & licensing.

    Choosing a trailer? Single/Double?

    I’ve just bought an IW 505 (2005) last weekend. I bought it privately and has been sat on the persons drive unused for a year. Was £1900 which is a good price as i’ve not seen any of a similar age for less than £2500 (my budget) and even then they’ve sold in no time! Had a trailer company come...

    Am I missing something - tow car question

    where from?! Our 65 plate was just shy of £30k last year with just under 40k miles! Although we absolutely love our disco, if the budget allows we’d highly reccomend. Nowhere near as bad on fuel as we expected it to be. Or you could go for a newer Disco Sport if you only tow the one horse? You...

    Moving from DIY to full livery

    Was luxury! I do miss being on full, was great for my mental health. Only reason he’s not on full now is because I can’t afford it anymore x
