nudge nudge, just hoping someone might be able to help :)

hi guys i picked a gorgeous lemieux girth cover whilst at Olympia in December, but my current girth is showing some signs of wear (old!!) and i'd like to replace it. i really fancy the fss/frank baines girths, particularly with the covers, but now i have a lovely lemieux cover it seems a...

Hi Cortez - I'm in Australia, so under the rules there, i can compete in a DB in Medium if i wish, and its compulsory for Advanced. I am orignially from the UK and always found this forum helpful - possibly much more so than the ones over here...! Hi Hexe - thanks for your feedback. something...

So I have just recently begun to compete my boy at Medium level, but my instructors are advising that I should be aiming to compete at advanced this time next year - chance will be a fine thing!! It looks like I have to compete in a double bridle at advanced, so I thought I'd be proactive and...

Ritz (stable name) was kept at Balmoral Equestrian Centre until he was sold in August. Eddie still has a few horses there, so i'd suggest maybe contacting them - www.balmoral.info - and they can get you in touch. Ritz is a stunning, stunning, stunning boy!!

Hey both, Thanks for your replies. on my old girl, i used to find the Horseware rugs very tight around the neck (she took a 5'6-5'9 rug at 14.1hh), this was 10 years ago that I was shopping for a wardrobe for her, so do you think that this has changed? Or would you recommend taking a...

Hi All It's been a vrey long time since i last posted, but I'm hoping you may be able to help me out :) I moved to Australia over 2 years ago and now have a lovely TB x WB on loan who I intend to buy early next year. It may be summer out hear at the moment but I'm already thinking about...

am choking up. what a tragedy to happen, and what a wonderful father and vet you had, to sy nothing of the brave brave boy who loved you implicity. massive hugs to you hunni xx

i have a friend with a 22yo TB, quite severely roached backed, but he had quite a decent low level eventing career before she retired him to dressage. well i say retired, she's now aiming to get him up to adv med this summer!

well i pay nothing for sharing! never been asked for any and its never become a problem. we've got a great relationship which makes it flexible as to the days we do. India is on DIY and unfortunately on box rest due to suspensory ligaments damage whilst pratting in the field. her owner is...

my last dressage test with Shadow back in sept 07 (it was part of a yard combined training thing, VERY low key but proper dressage judge), i think it was prelim one. we'd already done the jumping in the school and pony was getting a bit tired but went into once more for the test and felt quite...

that is pretty shocking Kenzo! i can't believe the cheek of some people at times! i loved my old yard (4 years ago), and i am still very good friends with the YO, whom i'd known since i was about 12, so 14 years now. i used to work there, varying between part time and full time dependent on...

QR yes in moderation with the share horse however, it was extremely rare that i did with my own horse. not that i care less for the share horse's welfare, but shadow was quite old and had had a period of about 30months where she was crippled lame and her ligaments/tendons seemed to be a bit...

the worlds biggest hugs to you hunni such a sudden and tragic loss is just so sad. it's really hard now but it will get better, eventually. i think i've really only started to accept that my girl won't be coming back and i lost her 15 months ago now. the time seems to have dragged and flown at...

so sorry she had such a lovely little face
