All I can say is that the small boxes are really expensive for what they are and there don't seem to be any decent newish bigger boxes around unless mileage is huge. Prices are totally skewed because of the 1st January 97 driving test cut off date. Have a lovely older 7.5 box with low mileage...

Next time - hope there isn't one though - get his number and give the police a ring on 101 (not999) they won't do anything but it is on record so if something happens this is useful. You never know but he may have been reported before for his driving and this can sometimes make police have a...

Have read a lot of the posts about Equitrek trailers and breast bar seems to be an issue esp for ponies which I have, any ideas/comments/criticisms about the Space Treka 111 - rear ramp, herringbone so no breastbar. Any ideas on quality of build am thinking of buying less than 2 yo. Lorry...

Love the little stripey rug - she's a total babe!

Dead to the leg! Moving your legs that much to get it going is not going to do much for your seat. Find a new school or buy a schoolmaster horse/pony, good livery yard to guide you through initial ownership with a good manege and a good instructor. Your life will change believe me!

I read a post on this forum dating way back where someone recommended "seeding" rubber crumb into the grass to provide a springy surface - this got around the "no planning permission" for an arena situation. Can anyone recommend this and recommend what type of rubber crumb, supplier? I have...

How long do they live? Get this one all the time and it makes me fume, after all you don't ask people this about their kids!

Well one girl did at yesterday's fun ride anyway. I took my horse about 100 feet across the field away from the jumps I was not jumping to allow other people space to jump. Next thing I knew was that this numbskull was cantering straight at me! Almost hit me sideways on. Obviously did not...

Outing of the knitting circle? -don't think anyone posting has suggested that this is what it should be like on a Fun Ride. Go fast yes - I do BUT don't go fast past others get someway in front of them first - you may be apssing someone who is on a youngster - how are you going to know? , they...

That's a real pain! The group I mentioned saw me trying to catch them up later - was trotting like a mad thing! my intention being to overtake as they were slow, once they had got the mad canter over with! When they saw me they trotted off to keep ahead of me. There point was?

Last week's rant was about two older riders at Milton Green. This week's is about two older riders at Upton Magna. Two women passing me right at the start asked if they could pass - fair enough - we are just going slowly says the one in the red airbag vest (bay horse). Fine thinks I. Friend on...

Silly remark re: eventers etc but glad to see he is a grass roots rider. Too many non-riders think we are all from the landed gentry with tons of cash to flash! So that's Peter Charles, Mary King, Charlotte Dujardin all from basic backgrounds. Good comment from Charlotte's Mum after her success...

Don't give up on her. My pony has had Cushings since 17 now 22 was diagnosed and has been on Prascend for 2 years now. He is still doing Fun Rides and hacking twice a week (long hacks 2 hours plus). He also schools, still has the moves. Biggest challenge is limiting grazing. Mine no longer has...

Reply to the poster re: ride pix: Thanks for this. I shall try to id them from the ride pix and email to the secretary. Reply to the poster from Wynnstay: Thanks for this. Glad to hear the Wynnstay takes this sort of behaviour seriously. HOWEVER I have heard a lot of comment about and...

Whereabouts in the country are you? Obviously not detail just county will do.
