There is a stunning yard in Farthinghoe, but not sure whether that is too far away for you? :)

Have heard a rumour that a new livery yard is opening in Farthinghoe near Brackley. Apparently it will be for full and competition livery with a resident instructor. Has anyone heard any more detail? :)

Am not sure whether you have already found someone, but can highly recommend my instructor, Catherine Tee, of CLT Equestrian. I have 2 very different horses....one is an Oldenburg showjumper who is a schoolmaster, but the other is an ex racehorse that I am introducing to coloured jumps. Cat is...

Hi! :) Please can i have people's thoughts on the following.... I currently have my warmblood on 3 months LWVB, and my purchase date is the 22nd August. He came to me having been poorly shod from his previous home, but sound. My farrier has done a fantastic job in balancing his hooves so they...

I have a Timex Expedition. Leather strap, waterproof and has taken a battering over the 3 years that i have had it. Wasnt that expensive in Argos i dont think. Love it to bits.

No, just footie in the one foot. The stream idea is great thanks. Any thoughts on how long it can take for things to settle down?

Have had my boy now for just over 5 weeks. Just before he came to me his old owner had his shoes refitted. He was shod in natural balance shoes, for no particular reason according to his owner. TBH i dont thnk his owner was ever present at shoeing time as horse was on part livery. About 2 1/2...

My gelding has a similar problem. I have only had him for a month, and he has been poorly shod in the past. He managed to get a huge stone wedged between his frog and his shoe which i only just managed to prise out. Since then he has been lame. My farrier was out on Tuesday and fitted him a new...
