I always buy these items online, my local tack shops either have a very poor level of stock for new season pikeur, eskadron etc or hike the prices up massively! I will also buy a lot from germany, netherlands etc as even with high postage the items can work out cheaper. I wouldn't even be able...

I have an equipe emporio dressage and I love it! I'm 5'9 and horse is a very dainty 16hh tb. I decided to try a monoflap dressage as I love my butet cc jump saddle so much. They are so light and my horse definitely goes better in the equipe :) I got mine second hand on eBay for £900 and have...

My gelding was insured with NFU for £5000 and I think it was approx £700 per year. He was very sadly PTS in December last year and NFU paid out straight away plue vets fees and cremation. I paid £8000 for the horse so wanted half decent insurance. I now have a cheap ex-racer who is only...

Another for Tails of fire- she is amazing and the quality is far better than other examples I've seen :)

I recently had a 2 stage vetting done on a horse that was £1500 and I was very impressed with how thorough it was. For my previous horse who was £8000 I had a 5 stage done and he had to be put down in December due to a whole host of problems and quite frankly should never of passed a 5 stage...

Ours has 3 :)

I have a Butet- it's amazing! :)

I have the Pikeur Skarlett and it's lovely (shorter softshell style) :) Mine has a gold suede collar but you can get them in plain black or navy. I'm 5'10 so don't need a shorter style jacket but the Pikeur Diana I had before constantly hung over the saddle and got on my nerves! Pikeur do...

Really inspiring to read, thank you so much for posting. I decided to go barefoot with my horse in June as his feet were so poor. I feel like I have more bad days than good at the moment :( My trimmer thinks it will take near on a year to get him back into proper work (IF his feet ever fully...

Lol! When not riding I wear anything around the yard from flip flops to Uggs (depending on the time of year!)......luckily it's our own yard so no one sees me!

Might be worth considering ulcers? You could always trial some coligone to see if there is any improvement?

It's really easy though- just buy all your breeches and coats in dark neutral colours (brown, black, navy etc) and then use cheaper items to add colour. I have tops from ebay, primark etc so it doesn't have to be expensive, I spend more money on quality items like coats. And I never wear nice...

Yep I ordered my usual pro hoof and it arrived quickly.

Smart and co-ordinated always, although I won't wear any of my nice stuff for general yard duties. Have dark base layers and breeches and will then add a coloured polo/jumper/scarf to match what the horse is wearing. Anything from grey to bright pink! :)

I have the LAS Eco and I think they come up big. You can change the liner though to make bigger or smaller. I am about a 55cm so I ordered the small liner, however it's a bit big so I could probably do with an XS which is something like 53-54.
