Hi Ditto, i've just found my piece of paper from qualifying and just says times available on Thursday via ringing up and also available on the web site. I got my times off the website today and won't be ringing up. Hope this helps and good luck, i also maybe doing a bit of freestyle test...

I'm going too for Prelim and Novice and it is deffo run in sections. I went last Saturday for a pre emptive strike/practice and i was really impressed with how it was run/organised. Everyone is really friendly and the arenas ride well. Look out for the judges huts! I think it will be quite...

What with the new show season on the horizon..if it ever stops raining/snowing e.t.c.!! i'm thinking about showing my ex racehorse in Amateur Riding horse classes at County level. Previously i have shown him in ROR classes in a Neue Schule loose ring snaffle, in which he goes great in, and we...

Oh Dominobrown don't tempt me...or maybe a tiny bit!;)

Primitive Rising...blinkin' legend! Exceptional movers, awesome jumpers, lovely temperments and very trainable. I would love another big bay boy please santa:)

Hey there, couldn't believe it about Scarlet's injury, i stopped off at Dragonfly to talk to your mum and sister about it! -what rotten luck when you were really starting crack on with your jumping.You and Scarlet's clinic reports gave me the kick up the bum to start a proper jumping re...

And me, had my boy for a year and a half and had no idea about the 30 days notification and been merrily competeing him totally unaware!! Oops bit of grovelling required to Weatherbys methinks.:D

One for the northerners, does anyone remember Rufforth Park - nr York. 1997 spent my 18th birthday jumping in the warm up class on a Wednesday. Also met John Whitaker and Ryans Son there, and have to admit pulling a bit of his mane out, as a souvenir :eek:....and i still have it!

I'm a NHS Rotational Physio, i do work weekends on call- and to be honest the extra money helps pay my vet bills/rug addiction/shoeing bills! I find a lot of human rehab strategies cross over into schooling my ex NH gelding.

Hello, I totally understand your situation with your ex racers 1st live dressage outing. I took mine (12 year old ex NH boy) last September to a Unaffiliated dressage comp to do a Prelim, with the main aim being to just stay in the ring! I should add that i properly prepared, and he was well...

I think brown boots can look really good but defo not with a navy show jacket. I've seen a professional show producer/rider rock up in an RoR class in brown boots and they looked brilliant on a bay hoss. On the size thing with Ariats, i'm a size 7 but i fitted the size 6 better and i haven't...

Hi, just wanted to say what a fab boy you've got and i love his breeding. My retired NH boy is by Primitive Rising and as a sire, he really does pass on a certain short backed big bay type doesn't he. Good luck with him and i look forward to hearing how you two get on. I'm currently working on...

Hi, I've had my ex racer (National Hunt) for a year now and the best thing i did on the advice of my trainer was to stop using a loose ring snaffle (what he was trained in) and try a french link, which was a revelation as it had a much better action than the snaffle . I now have him in a Neu...
