Heya guys - Thanks for all of your replies, unfortunately I agree with all of you. I wouldn't like to be made to do something I wouldn't want to do just because someone else does, I guess this was just a last resort for the last glimmer of hope. I'm not a "dressagey person" I can do it, I...

Hello, I was looking for anyone with experience in this area of horses being nappy in the xc. The first jump is always an issue but he's fine in the warm up first of all a bit of background: I have no idea what my horses past was like, other than I've had him for 4 years, he's my first...

After an unfortunate freak incident I have managed to end up with no bridle. I have therefore taken the opportunity to look into Micklem bridles. I wanted to get a deluxe version, as they look a lot more appealing in my opinion, however I have never had one on my horse before. I know there are...

Hello, First of all I must say I'm a slight skeptic, however I would like to be proved wrong. I was just wondering about the affects of aloe on preventing/soothing stomach ulcers? (I'm not looking for other ways of preventing please, just interested in the product, thanks :) ) I was wondering...

Hello, Looking for a livery yard in Sutton Coldfield for full livery and an indoor school, any suggestions? Thanks :)

He has been seen to crib bite a little bit, I don't want to label him as a 'crib biter' as its not frequent, he doesn't do windsucking with it, he licks a lot, (more before the general supplement) he is insured yes, okay by the sounds of it, Im going to have to ring the vet asap, I don't know...

Poop test sounds good, someone else suggested to me, I don't know by the sounds of this comment if it's worth just going the whole way and to scope him, I'm looking at selling him at the moment due to his xc problems in competition, so actually if he has got them it might be a good thing if it...

He's on baileys no. 17 conditioning mix, hi fi and naf General supplement, I think if he has got them it's due to his hay routine at the yard, which I have never liked, which means he's being left without hay for certain periods of the day, if he does have them I'll be sure to Change it

Just been doing a lot of research and kind of scaring myself I guess. I'm going to be getting the vet out but was wondering if people had any similar expirences? I've had my horse for four years, he's now 11 and we've had problems with our eventing, after doing fab in dressage and...

anyone? :)

Hey, I want to spoil myself/horse basically, tried a NS on before, and the difference - I couldn't even imagine they made so much difference! At the moment I have him in a bog standard loose ring french-link, we haven't got any major problems, we'll use it for show jumping and dressage up to...

Yep yep, totally agree, think that's the main thing that helped me through my stage 3, I was mostly "winging it" but real life experience is the key to making it easy and making sure you pass!

This is real good did Equine Business management degree with horse bio, and repro, so just need to get some nutrition knowledge :P Brill!

I can honestly say JDee I treat every competition as a schooling round, I don't feel any sort of nerves or pressure when I'm about to go xc or during the round

Thank you Soph, I have seen the revision notes one, I forgot to mention, I was umming and ahhing about that one as to what was in it as obviously buying online I can't actually flick through it! - The BHS have got a recommended reading list, which includes the BHS Stable mnagement book and Vet...
