Looking for a DIY yard around Gloucester, ideally near to Highnam as will be moving from Hertfordshire soon for a new job. Ideally somewhere that offers services as well I.e. turn out/bring in and mucking out for when work gets in the way 😂😂 thanks in advance

I'm very new to affiliating and am trying to get my head around the memberships. I have one horse who is owned by my friends who I am looking to affiliate under the riding club offer but confused as to whether the owner has to join as well? Also, I may wish to register my own youngster at...

Thanks for that turnbuckle, I know it's a nightmare just wanting a rough idea of running costs. 3.5t won't take two big horses so would have to upgrade for that. Good tip on the check before purchase, I was looking at this today

Thanks for that, we tend to be out at least once a week if not more as we travel for lessons as well as competitions. Quite happy to overlook paint job and interior as these can always be looked at in the future and done ourselves to how we want it, it's more justifying the running costs. It...

This may be a "how long is a piece of string" question but currently looking at upgrading from a 3.5 to 7.5 so I can take two horses out and have somewhere to stay in when on stopovers. Besides the obvious test I need to take to be able to do this, can anyone give a bit of assistance into...

Thanks everyone, I think we'll stick at what we're doing with hacking out as much as possible and anything in the arena being kept busy and new. See how that goes :-) glad to see I'm on the right wavelength

Thanks epeters - I've started doing that with her which seems to be working. I'm also trying to get her hacking out a bit more too to keep her interested - the girl who owns her is still at school so can only ride in the arena after school

Bump

Usually schooling/jumping. Out hacking she's on the whole fine, just naps now and again if on her own and is reluctant to go in front with others

Currently helping out with a friend's ex racehorse mare. Aged 9 years old, has had all the basic retraining etc. She has now, however, become very adept at deciding she's had enough and will stop and plant her feet when she decides she no longer wants to work - laziest ex racer ever! She will...

Hi Benji I've PMed you so hopefully you'll get it. I can give you my email if it's easier?

Anyone else watching HOYS on live feed? Just thinking how boring the speed class is as everyone seems to have come in for a schooling round. I get the reasons why but it really takes away from what the class should be. Anyone else fed up with it too?

I am wondering if anyone in the Hertfordshire area or nearby is looking for some help with the exercise of their horses at all? I've recently had the horse I share sold and can't afford to offer any financial contribution at the moment but just wondered if there was anyone out there looking for...
