    Fuming

    I rarely post on here anymore due to the bullying behaviour of some members - I think the Horse and Hound team should do something about it but I doubt they will.

    Equestrian superstores - Robinsons vs Rideaway?

    I've never been to the Superstores but I stopped using Robinsons online when I found out they are owned by SportsDirect.

    Thoughts on payment for schooling etc?

    I pay a professional £30 for 45mins and yes he has proper BHS qualifications as well as being a good and sympathetic rider.

    E&L insurance

    I've been with E&L for a long time, they paid out for my old horse's colic operation about 14 years ago with now quibble and the paid out when I lost a horse to grass sickness 18 months ago, again with no problem.

    This is suspicious I think

    Yep I had one like this once, it was a scam.

    Where you began riding? Me, Whiteleaf...

    I learnt when I was very small somewhere near Burgess Hill but I can't remember what it was called - when I was 7 we moved to Lincolnshire and I was bought a pony and basically had no formal lessons til I was in my late teens when my little sister started and we went to Mill Farm in Fotherby and...

    People's attitudes make them bullies not their beliefs.

    complete mistake in gifting a horse

    Fantastic that you got her back - it has been a tough journey for you but it sounds like your wee girl is happy to be home. Sorry you got hit by the forum bullies - they're the reason I rarely come on here anymore.

    do you still feed in summer?

    Yes. I lost a lovely mare to grass sickness last year so my new boy comes in to give him time off the grass and has haylage, a small feed with supplements and probiotics to be on the safe side.

    A bit of horse and life advice please! Very sad at the moment

    I would get a horse. I don't think you sound immature, you are clearly a very caring person going through some tough times. I've had some very rough times in my life - I won't go in to it all here, this is about you not me - and horses have been my salvation, my escape and exceptionally good...

    Candyfloss walks all over grass sickness

    I lost my beautiful mare to EGS last October and I had a scare when my new boy had colic/virus at the weekend. The disease is so quick and devastating. I pray no-one reading this goes through it. I will never forget the sight of my poor girl going through it. I knew nothing about EGS before...

    New Look H & H

    New look doesn't work for me. It feels like they are trying to dumb it down and compete with the other horsey mags on the market. If 'fashion spreads' is what you are after they are carried in the monthly horsey mags. What I liked about H&H is that it was more newsy than the others. Still...

    Getting a horse transported from Scotland to Lincs? Any advice?

    Yes, that's about right. I used them to bring one up to Scotland from Surrey and that was £400ish I think. Excellent service, they did it over three days so not to tire the horse too much and livery for the two overnights was included.
