    Top Spec ponderings...

    No answers on the stud one but the granular one is lower in protein than the cubes so may not be what you for the beast!

    Bridle Choice

    Thanks for the comments all I've heard good things about the Kate Negus bridles but never seen them and don't want to order online as had mixed success so far. Don't really like Albion, I find the nosebands too chunky on him and I tried a sabre with well padded noseband and a crank and he...

    Bridle Choice

    Following my previous post on bridles I have ruled out Mark Todd and am now torn between Stubben (which would match my Bates saddle) or Barnsby (which won't match but would have a padded headpiece). It's for a TB if that makes any difference to your opinion, and feel free to make any other...

    Can anyone help with horse share problem?

    DIY or Not

    Sorry to hear about the divorce. I've been on both DIY and am now on full. The extra cost for full can be stressful but I actually found that lack of time stressed me out more. The number of times I remember being stuck in late meetings during winter worrying about horse being stood in...

    DIY or Not

    I would personally stick with the full livery to give yourself the breathing space to focus on your job at this stage. Am guessing that you'll have the scope to earn more later on if you put in the work now, something has to give and trying to balance full time work (with overrunning meetings)...

    Bates Capilli Saddle - What colour Mark Todd bridle

    I've got a Bates Capilli close contact and being more than a little sad I want a bridle to match Don't want brass fittings which rules out John Whittaker and find the potential Stubben bridle too red so am thinking of Mark Todd - trouble is, I'm not sure if I need Oak Bark, Austrailian Nut...
