Is there any possibility for you to have a livery - someone you could ride with?

What a lovely mare. Huge hugs to you.xx

Depends where you live. If at all exposed to driving rain or snow I wouldn’t have gaps. Up here everything would get soaked. I find in hot weather we get gaps anyway, even with shiplap.

Thankfully the grass is still growing well here and it’s not too boggy yet, so we’re still getting lots of field turnout rather than the hard standing.

Depends how bad he is. Mine got bored when I fastened the straps and he couldn’t pull them off. Hasn’t done it since (18 years!). Others might keep pulling and rip them.

I often do a stocking for liveries. I put in a nice hand cream, lip sils, chocs for them, treats for the horse, a pair of pimple palm gloves, boot socks… that sort of thing.

I love Ozzieman, I got into his videos during lockdown when he did Game of Thrones recaps.

I enjoyed mine too, also a long time ago. I failed my stage 2 the first time, and understood why, took on the feed back and passed a couple of months later.

I have always said that when our gelding dies I would like one of these but with him and my late mare grooming each other (because they did it so often). They are not cheap, but I think they are absolutely beautiful.

Is that still the case? It was decades ago when I did my Stage 3, but I thought they’d stopped face to face feedback because there had been too many cases of aggressive disagreements with the examiners? (could be wrong, I’ve not been involved in the BHS for years, but I got told a few years ago...

I’m the same. I always thought my two would end up going together but my gelding has thrived for a further 3.5 years so far, and I think it’s good he gets to be my no 1 after a life of being slightly second to my mare. And I always worried if it would be awful for the one who went second. But...

I don’t think so. Whatever my opinion of her, it was absolutely obvious that she adored him and he was the horse of her lifetime. And I can empathise having lost my own horse of a lifetime and know how much it hurt. And re them not being old, they were a good age for a sports house that had...

Sparkling Grinch. He doesn’t deserve that. He’s so easy going!

Ours has gone up from £40 to £50 because they’re having to travel further to source it. They’re hoping it will last the winter, but aren’t sure - they’ve never said that before.

I haven’t had time this weekend, but it sounds like an eventful event, I might pay the fee and watch it. T’will do my French good too.
