SRUC in Aberdeen? Or Oatridge? Not sure exactly what courses they hold but both are fantastic places to learn. Is there an Ember bus that does either route?

I know what Morags are 🍉🍉 😂🤣

Our first pony (5yo 11hh Welsh mountain pony) cost £82.50. And yes, my sisters and I contributed the £2.50.

I don't currently know of any suitable properties for sale, but would you consider a long term tennancy on one of the large rural estates? If so, I may have a contact. Good luck for the house sale and move - exciting times! Also, we are in that exact area, and I'm more than happy to meet up and...

I've just bought a Premier Equine cavesson bridle with anatomical headpiece, and it's a really lovely bridle. It think it was around the £90 mark.

Chalk powder. Everywhere. Or a sales advert?

I've had Morton's Neuromas removed by surgery in both feet, but it was about 25 years ago now. I did use crutches for a few weeks, then just a bit limpy for another few weeks. I probably had 6 weeks recovery in total before normal driving, riding etc. I do remember it being really bloody sore in...

We had one with LV a few years back. Spray on steroids and keeping out of the sun were key - don't touch the skin at all if you can help it - so no socks/boots and no daily cleaning, drying or rubbing. Stabled all day, out at night, and spray on treatment only. We consulted Prof Knottenbelt via...

Protexin Gut Sponge. It's made a huge difference to mine.

Bogenraith Equestrian is a new venue in Durris/Banchory (AB31) with fantastic new facilities. They have competitions and good visiting instructors - Wills Oakden, Daniel Scott to name a few. Definitely worth looking them up. I wish we lived closer!

Have you taken her temperature? Might be a virus.

My daughter has just started HBA and absolutely loves it. New obsession on the horizon methinks! Good luck with your lesson, hope you enjoy it too 😊🏹🎯

There's a combined event this weekend near us, a full set of SJ in an arena, then a full course of 18-20 XC jumps, so I guess like an unaff ODE minus the stressage. £55 to enter. Gulp! I guess that's what it costs to run.
