Horse is kept on a private yard owned by a friend and as horse is hers (I have him on loan from her) - there are very few rules, just common sense Things like field rotation, worming and so on is done by common sense, discussions and mutal agreement.

TBH, right now I wouldn't ask too much of her out hacking - especially as she is beginning to work nicely for periods in the school. I'd let her enjoy hacking for what it is right now (a physical and mental break from schooling) to prevent her becoming stale and as she begins to find it easier...

((((((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))))))))))) I think we've all felt this way at some point - I hope your horse gets better soon and you can start enjoying her properly again!

I'm the opposite - I'm more confident in real life than when riding. Will happily phone anyone or talk to anyone or real life, but will definately not just jump on any horse to ride! Although I'm happy dealing with any horse from the ground - getting on anything is another matter altogether, I...

Signed - and have passed the link on to others in my family & friend's who will sign it.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Hug))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Equine colleges are funny places, they are such artificial environments - I know, that at the moment it feels like it is "everything" but I promise you, it really isn't! Is there a tutor you can talk to? I'm at an equine...

Most places would sell it I should imagine although I think I got mine from the local health and herbal store - mine is just in spray form, but I think you can drops as well

It's completely natural to feel how you are feeling Ditto Booboos - I'm not a huge fan of jumping and although I'm working on getting my confidence back, there are plenty of other things like hacking and flatwork that I enjoy without ever needing to pop a fence if I don't want to! Having...

[ QUOTE ] Not £500, *only* £425 :P Those are really impressively revolting boots. I wonder if there is a limit to how much bling one rider / horse combination could wear into the ring? You could have those boots, plus the blingy spurs, plus the diamante trim on your jacket collar and pockets...

Sorry, I like those as well! Maybe I ought to take up showjumping ... I wouldn't even need to jump anything neccessarily I could just take the horse, add the bling and ride around the warm up arena looking 'cool' - obviously I'd be talking on the phone, disrepecting all the riding arena...

I actually like the diamante boots

[ QUOTE ] My bridle is pink & my saddle is havannah... haha. But I much prefer matching tack if it weren't for the fact it's PINK. [/ QUOTE ] Ooooh, whose your bridle by? Is it one of the webbing ones? Pink? Obessessed? Me? Never

I brought my Requisite stable rug for two years (when I was a bit desperate for extra rugs) - and I think I paid about £20 something for it. It's looking a bit tatty now and the fillet string was long ago replaced with baling twine, it's still functional but I'll replace it this year - but for...

I've found the Requisite stable rugs to be fine, like you say not the most amazing but still perfectly adquate - although I can't comment on the turn out rugs.

Saddle and bridle are both black - but having said that, the saddle is synthetic and the bridle is leather, so not a complete match! Personally, I think it looks smarter if it matches, but for general use it's not the end of the world if it doesn't
