I like the HKM neoprene ones. I use mine for xc and have done so for a few years. They look a bit worse for wear now but are still perfectly functional. The Velcro is really good on them. I don't like rubber ones so much as I haven't found any with reliable Velcro or rubber that doesn't break!

I feel absolutely terrible I've been given the opportunity to ride a VERY nice horse for a lady (professional) in the village, as said horse is widely acclaimed to be 'a nutter' & I don't think she really enjoys riding him/thinks he's worth the effort He is ridden in a running gag (not sure of...

Thankyou everyone!

Thankyou everyone!

You'll have great fun! And no one will think you are a 'wet lettuce'! My friend is 55, she started riding a few years ago and there is a whole group of them who have a group lesson at the riding school, they all love it!!

At the moment she has a scoop of stay power nuts and some chop at night, she's out all the time, but the hay and grass in the field is useless, she's just started eventing at novice. Recently she's started loosing a little top line and feels like she could do with some more energy...

What do you put in your stud holes when you are not using them? I've tried the rubber plugs, they stay in but then I can never get them out! I've also tried the cotton wool type ones, they either fall out, or get squished up and mud goes on top of them and then they also get compacted and...

Jump elite, I have lots of friends that work for them & like it there, so I presume they are straight, i can't see those people working there if theyre not

I'm 16, and I know that it's pretty obvious to say that I would consider the person, but we're not all as irresponsible as you think! 'My' horse belongs to a lovely lady so it is kind of a share, she lets me ride her and the others, I ride on my own most of the time and I have done for years. I...

Thankyou everyone!

one of my friends applies a mixture of sulphur and nappy cream to the horses with mud fever once a day, really helped!

In the week it's an hour - we cant really do any more than that because a) it gets dark and b) all the long routes involve a really busy road, which isn't a good idea at rush hour! At the weekend sometimes I go for a long hack, but again this involves the busy road
