    Micklem bridle sizing - confused...

    Thank you very much for help. I don't know why I couldn't find that measuring tips - maybe because I always forget to switch accounts on my computer and on a public one I have bing as a default searching engine, it does strange things sometimes. I know about the site, but I would have to find...

    Micklem bridle sizing - confused...

    Thank you very much - I also thought they were huuuge, for me a big horse is... well, a Shire :). I'm not tall, but I love big horses and I bet I won't choose a horse smaller than 16-15.75 hh. My present horse is 15.7 and is slightly too small. But it's all about the head, isn't it? Why couldn't...

Why brown (which is, of course, smart) is not as good as we may think? First of all, it's really hard to find reins, bridle, saddle, riding boots and stuff in...

    Ouchies! Blooming horse!

    One mare form my stable got spooked when she saw her owner and her dog behind the fence (about 50m away). She knows them for ages and usually is not scared at all, I couldn't believe it when she was just about to run away :) they came closer and she became calmer immediately

    My birthday

    First of all - hello everyone! Aren't we late? If not, I think asking somebody who knows your horse and riding level quite well would be the best idea... some horses need different things than others, of course. For example many horses I know don't need warm rugs, so buying them would be a waste...
