Excellent email Janet. And I agree with everyone's responses but......... No one has answered my initial question!!!!! Lol

Defra are no use! Not had a reply from Zangersheide yet either :(

sorry if this is repeating anyone else...... With the recent horse meat scandal and abattoirs being raided, we are now being urged to make sure we have signed the 'not for human consumption' section in our horses passports. My vet has recently refused to treat my horse with Bute, meaning i...

EXACTLY this happened to my gelding. 100% to hack and very laid back, so i thought hed be fab hunting. OH NOOOOOO blew his head, since then hes a swine for spooking out hacking, spins etc but i can handle him. When he sees a horse in the distance, he goes mental! Gradually he is...

Can anyone enlighten me to how they are 'meant' to ride? Today i have tried the Black Country Vinici (bearing in mind ive come from a K2 jump) and found that i felt loose or not secure? Is it just me not being used to the closeness of the single flap or do monoflaps take getting used to...

Check BDWP the event is still on but they are reviewing at 7am which is rubbish for me as I'll be there by then! I've just this minute finished walking the course ( in the dark!) and it's sodden . Put it this way, if they decide to run I'll be withdrawing!

ETA: Its a bit of a pain to reach. You are best leaving the A1 at Barnsdale bar>thru askern and the thru Moss. The roads are small and very windy for a long period, but ive seen a few big boxes there.

I compete there every weds! Its lovely, very very nice surface. The courses are lovely and the jumps are good. Although on the downside they dont like to rush......they will hang on for certain people. So newcomers rarely starts before 2.30, which can be a pain. Theres not much parking...

Lol yep Mandy its me :) Although this is predominantly my mums account. I hijacked it!

Well, ive never done a report on this forum before. But im that happy i wanted to share my news We ventured up 'norf' this weekend to the Huby & Sutton Agricultural show. Stayed overnight so we could have a stressfree weekend away with the gg's! My two friends competed in the earlier...

Congratulations !! What section were you In ??? I came 7th in my Section too !! dressage of 35 and double clear well pleased :-)

I rode it today too-the ground was fine. No puffy legs afterwards and it didn't bother me (im normally very picky) The grounds been thoroughly spiked and after the horses on it today it was nice and bedded in... The worst bit id say is on the top of the hill but its only a short run. Good...

Thanks everyone. I have just put him on that Horse First 'relax me' calmer. i have Skipton next weekend so ill know if it has worked then!

Im at Buckmister too! Mines in his first season so everythings new to him but he jumped it fab :p

Ink has now done 5 BE100's in his first season and produced 5 DC's!!!!!!!! But the annoying, heartbreaking thing is that the dressage winds him up unbelievably. He goes extremely short in the neck, tense, exaggerating leg aids (walk to canter on the spot) and his veins pop out of his neck...
