Crossing the finish clear and in time at my boys final ODE before retiring him from eventing. I've never been so emotional, as I was in that moment!

Called mine up from the very bottom of the hill the other day. All horses came galloping up to the gates, except mine - who stopped half way to roll in a pit of mud. Then got up and continued on his way up to the gate to see me. I was in disbelief.

I too use wooden posts with insulators - very sturdy

All good options! iconique - I shall be making a trip down there in the coming weeks!!

Hi all - with winter on it's way I spent a whole day trying to wade through all of my horsey paraphernalia to try and organise myself and came across mountains of items that I really don't need or want any more! (saddles, rugs, the lot.) With Sandon Saddlery's closure earlier this year I am...

I am leaving mine as long as possible - clipping is one of my least favourite jobs!
