    sacroiliac problems- end of the road? vets unhelpful

    Yeah injections (after xrays, scans, etc) then box rest then daily lunging, then work build up. Has to be kept on a postage stamp size paddock so she can't go charging about and will need to be lunged 2-3 times a week forever.... if you can afford a second opinion i would recommend Sven!

    Blue Chip Star classes?

    These are usually pretty quick and competitive classes. Depending on how tough the first round is and how many make it through to the jump off, I would expect the majority of fences to be 1.20m.

    How much longer???!!!

    Okay, this may but not be strictly CR but how much longer are these arctic conditions going to last???!!! I seriously am not coping with this weather! My school is frozen over, the lane is an ice rink, we have no water for most of the day and my horses have hardly done anything for a month...

    Olympia - is British Show Jumping as bad as they make out?

    Ooh this could end up being a contraversial post... Personally, I think that the issue we have is lack of horsepower not rider ability. We have the mainstays in John, Nick and Michael who are world class and have been at the top of their game for decades; plus we have many outstanding riders...

    BSJA @ Rockhampton EC - anyone been?

    Wales and West has been cancelled on the 20th - not surprising as entries didn't reach double figures at the last show. Rockhampton is not the best venue - v small and dark and the warm up is a nightmare. Needs a lot of investment! However saying that the people are very friendly and the locals...
