I do think the market is going to bottom out soon, surely with the cost of living through the roof people genuinely soon will have to make decisions between the cost of fuel and heating and a horse. Especially people who scrabble through in order to have a horse!

Yes mine certainly did, granted she ended up on box rest for an awfully long time (broke the wing off her pedal bone and ended up in a cast) but the vet was centred around what was best for her, after the box rest we got her doped up and out in a field for some time to just be a horse again. But...

My friend had a horrific accident whilst hacking with me yesterday with which if she hadn't been wearing a hat she wouldn't be here today. Safe to say I checked how old mine was when i got back and mine is 7 years old so is probably time for replacement - i know i have had minor falls etc...

i have found the majority of cyclists very pleasant. People on bikes who have no idea how to ride let alone be around others are totally different though, we have loads that have bought electric bikes so come at you at speed, when its suggested that they could slow down to pass you, they often...

I bought a pair of XL LC's as they are wider in the calf. The LC's they are so comfy, I bought mine from rideaway.

You may find your local charities having online auctions etc, i know Happa and Hope Pastures do, you can pick up some fab things. Recently i have been using GS Equestrian and rideway, both have discount codes for newbies!

I notice you are in the North West, i wondered if you had been to see Peter at Hirds? It may be worth getting a second opinion/ work up from a new set of eyes. You absolutely are doing the right thing for her, sending lots of hugs, these horses are the worst emotional roller coasters!

Ugh, My lovely Musto training jacket, has finally given up on me, the zip has gone, as has the sleeves and the hood. So I thought I would just replace it, however it looks like Musto aren't doing the equestrian range any more! *Sobs* So suggestions for a quality waterproof riding jacket, ideally...

He really is amazing, I am yet to do a mounted clinic but have had unmounted treatments and afterwards i feel so much straighter and balanced. Really recommend.

oh thats awful, I was trying to order a couple of pairs the other day, surely there is enough demand for a UK supplier :'( Everything I am wearing currently is noble! Best value and comfort clothing ever!

yep, absolute waste of money, did not work at all, in fact i think they made things worse!

Skipton is hilly and upto height but i think it rides really nicely, some nice hedges and walls too!

So glad you saw the signs, mine gets colicky when the grass is super stressed, I do normally give her some Coligone, which I find works really well, however if she still looks odd the vet is out and an shot of buscopan and bute tends to work well. I think coligone is aniseed

I work from home normally. I get up at 5.20, out on the horses by 6:30 and at my desk for 8:30, have a hour lunch if needed and finish at 5pm. Winter I work from 7:30 and then have a 2 hour lunch to ride in :) Get washed and dressed into your jods and you are ready to go!

Oh I wish you could get Green dermobian still, it was the best for anything, I kept my tube for absolute emergencies but it ran out a couple of years back. Cornocesine - for hooves and my nails! Canter Mane and Tail, everything else is just not as good! Old fashioned rubber over reach boots...
