I have the trailer insured through Scottish Equestrian Insurance Services. It costs about £100 for £2500 cover. I already had breakdown cover with the AA so I got trailer cover added with the Organisation of Horsebox and Trailer owners for £49.

Local Rider magazine and NagMag have free entry for Thursday or Friday.

One of the biggest mistakes I have seen is the number of people who forget to 'halt and salute' when entering down the centre line. Minus 2 points at the start is not good!

That is exactly what happened to OHs saddle. We were going out for a hack and when he mounted he said 'my saddle just made a funny cracking sound'. On returning from the hack he checked the saddle by flexing the saddle from the pommel to cantle and the tree broke in half! We have owned the...

My vet recommended Allen & Page Fast Fibre for my old boy who has teeth problems. You soak the pellets so they go soft and I also add some Hi-Fi to it to bulk it up. I must say it does really seem to do the job for mine.

Another vote for Alistar McVicar from Anvil Vets. He has done 3 for me in the Horsham area.

Mouth ulcers are one of the symptons of cushings. My old pony used to get them but since he got his correct dose of pergolide they have not come back.

Another vote for the Suzannah. I've had mine for nearly a year and love it. I find it very supportive and comfortable to ride in and it sits beautifully on my horse (solid ID X).

There was a 30 second snippet on the BBC2 highlights show this evening. Come on the BBC, we want to see more!

I'm going to be in Hong Kong watching it. No Sky+ problems for me, just a bit of jetlag!

I'm also doing prelim. I've never been to The College before so I hope its a nice venue.
