Will try that, it is the test listed for a competition on Easter Sunday and wanted to look at it before entering. Not quite sure why they are using it if test not in use! Have double checked schedule and it says Novice 20 (2007)!

Does anyone have a copy of this test they could send me? I can't seem to find it on BD website or dressage diagrams. Any help much appreciated.

Thank you for your comments, he is allergic to red top grass which also has some fancy latin name that I can't remember. I have ordered some spirulina to try and have emailed the lady in NZ. He is kept at a livery yard and there is no bare turnout area and not sure he would be very happy...

My horse was diagnosed with an allergy to grass last May, just when he eats it, not rolling etc. His face swells but does go down overnight. After looking at other options i.e.grass glands I decided to have him allergy tested and the test came back as 5/5 on the scale for a type of grass which...

I adore my Albion Kontact Lite, my armchair!

I use those very boots and they are amazing. My horse moves very close and can be a twit honing around the field and even rolling he has managed to graze the inside of his cannon bone so like to use turnout boots with over reach boots when I can. In the summer I use just overreach boots so...

I saw a video on Facebook and my first thought was that he looked like he had been given 'something' to take the edge off him. Laura Collett had publicly said she was unsure about how he would cope with the atmosphere and being a person who regularly retrains and competes ex racehorses, I can...

Saturday, i will be polishing tack and pony ready for Burnham Market on Sunday, only his 2nd BE100 so could be interesting. Had hoped we would have some rain but fear we will not so might not risk pony XC. Very difficult as he much prefers galloping on firm ground compared to soft ground but...

Never posted in 'Weekend plans' before but love reading it and seeing what everyone is up to so thought I would give it a go! Today, I am in work, putting finishing touches to our catalogue of 470 yearlings we are due to sell in the first of 4 yearling sales in October. Sunday, I am off to...

My horse had 11 processes treated with ligament snip operation last September after vet said he shouldn't be moving. He has been a revelation since and is back doing BE, hunting and dressage with no problems at all. I am very careful to do lots of lunging still (3 times a week) and physio...

Can also recommend equidisc, really easy to use and looks smart.

Vet has left me some antihistamines, how would you use them? At moment vet says has said leave him in and not even hand graze. Never used antihistamines before.

Swelling is from eye right back across cheek and then another load of swelling under throat where bottom of throatlash would be and about 3 inchs down his windpipe. Dont like questionnoing vet, but she is adamant it is not grass glands. I have had 2 vets from the same practice see it and both...

Thank you for advice. Problem - not grass glands, got to the yard last night and swelling was far worse and vet feels too far forward to be grass glands and I would agree. The swelling near throat was worrying as any more swelling would have affected his breathing. So strange, it literally is...

Wonder if anyone can help. My horse was in for a quite a time with the bad weather. I turned him out in fields he had been in before and he came in with very swollen cheeks. No temperature etc and vet was consulted to rule out strangles etc. He was given antibiotics and anti inflamatories...
