As I'm sure abbijay knows only too well ;) there is a place up in Millom, Cumbria that does hacks and lessons and all kinds of riding activities but just with heavy horses! Mostly Clydies but a few Shires and Ardennes along the way! I've been loads of times and its AWESOME! The horses are so...

Totally with you smiffy.. I missed out on every ticket in the first round and the second round I prepared, got out of work, went to find wi-fi to buy tickets on my phone, at precisely 11am I refreshed the website, found tickets I wanted (Eventing - Cross Country) and added 2 to my basket, after...

oh yes please! as we're on a riding school and on riding school/loan ponies we have to make sure everything is super super safe so we don't accidently damage them! but ditch with tarpaulin sounds good and filling in a corner as well, I'll ask about barrels as we don't have any and I'd have to...

Well I got laughed at by 2 riding instructors at my yard for replacing my hat when I fell off and hit my head and I even swapped it again when it fell off the back of a luggage trolley in the airport and smacked the concrete floor (sad times) they said they've had their hats for YEARS and threw...

we dont have any short wings :( we have standard ones and quite a few jump blocks with the dents in them.. like this...

My proudest moment this season was definatly not in our showjumping! :rolleyes: we competed last year at 65cm (I know, tiny) and got placed a lot even though fluffy cob is well... a fluffy cob! She thinks she's a showjumper so I'm not going to tell her she's not! so thought this season we should...

sorry I realise this thread has probably been done ad nauseum before but I can't seem to find any articles or anything about it but I KNOW I've seen stuff like this somewhere! Was thinking of corners with two poles on three blocks if you know what i mean but they didn't balance probably on...

I think there is a stable free at Burrows Lane Farm in Prescot, it's very close to the East Lancashire Road so good transport links to Liverpool or Manchester. It's got 3 all weather arenas, working hunter field, turnout and its DIY but they do 'breakfast' for you. We also ahve arena...

Thank you everyone! We were very happy (well I was, Libby didn't really care much until the currant buns came out :D) dora: gallop shampoo whitening! It's brilliant! and obviously a lot of elbow grease. lol hornby: I know, not quite sure what she should be classed as! maybe next year we...

Oh so so so happy! Myself and fluffy-cob-on-loan managed to qualify ourselves for the Golden Saddle Championships at our local show by coming second in the Cob class (never managed to win it, partially to do with one very nice clipped out cob always being in same class and partially because one...

Hmm.. I shall have to research buying a new saddlecloth (shame! ;) ) unless any one knows a way of putting a border on an existing one? (we are in a recession, apparently..hehe) and I agree that I dont like them either but I stand out enough being on a extremely fluffy footed grey cob whilst...
