Try talking to your YO. No adult in their right mind WANTS to be the reason someone is upset and feeling bullied. Perhaps take a big breath, and ask her if she would mind having a quiet conversation. Tell her you love your horses, and that being at the yard is something you want to look...

I actually just bought some. ******* it, you only live once. Plus I get VAT so worked out to $165 POUNDS on the exchange rate. Only just over budget. I cant wait!!!! They better fit. Hahaha

Ok just had a google, and the Donatello PLUS come in my size!!! Yayyy. Just out of budget...booooo

I got these ones:http://www.hopevalleysaddlery.co.uk/tredstep-raphael-long-leather-riding-boots-tall-height-sale.html so not the donatello, but same size chart. Got the full? There is no size guide for the "plus" boots?

Thank you, this is the pair I have just purchased, but the largest calf sadly is still a bit too tight. Its so odd, because my calves dont look massive!

Thats a lot of stretching! LOL I could get elastic put in some I suppose?

I am still on the hunt for a pair of boots to fit my wide calves. I dont like the look of fuller fillies, and need something smart as i plan to use them for low level showing as well as dressage. I am a UK size 5, and have a calf of 40cm, so would need 41cm+ I'd say? I cant find...

Thank you!!!! He has been bute free for four days so far. Fingers crossed.

I cant seem to find my old thread, so will post an update here. Zac had the vet out, and TBH I think she thought I was nuts. But i could see the issue. She flexed him and he showed not worsening of stride, but was a prat to lunge (one of the indications to me all was not well). So he had both...

I live in NZ, and am lucky enough to keep my horses at home. I seem to have an issue whereby I collect horses, that usually go lame with one obscure injury or illness or another. (I swear its not me!). So love of my life horse (JacksonBrown), has a weird hind end lameness that no vet can...

I bought some lovely (LOVELY) boots from Hope Valley in the sale, and true to form, the ******* dont fit! (GAH), Not only that to make the most of the postage, I bought a Jockey skull cap as well. And that too is too small. Im after some WIDE riding boots. Good enough to do dressage and low...

Love it here. Coming up 9 years. I do miss the UK tho, and the shopping, and the Irish horses. I miss riding a decent cob and ISH type. :-)
