Please trust me that the more pressure that you put on yourself to get back on, the harder everything gets. I understand the limited time frame, more than you might imagine, but please don't put yourself under pressure that not essential. Look after yourself and your little one and a month or...

I'm almost a year post birth and my plans went out of the window 18 months ago! I felt uncomfortable riding at 5 months (fast/fittening work) but drove him 6 months gone at the national Championships. Once that was done I had no reason to keep him going and my sharers rode him to keep him...

Barry Hook is in Hampshire. I'd strongly recommend sending all four to be put together and give him at least a week with them to get them going. I've never seen a bad report, he deals with all sorts (and I know of two world class drivers that send him their competition WB's straight from Holland...

Whereabouts are you based? And what pairs carriage do you use? How big are the pairs? Sorry- many questions!

Thank you!

I'm trying to find out how the interview usually goes- what type of questions/practical information is needed? Thank you!

Me too! My carriage driving horse and I will be starting proper training a bit later as I'm due an op on Oct 10th to remove the metalwork gained as a result of our last foray into jumping- rotational fall in the school and a smashed collarbone for me, metalwork been in two years as when it was...

I suppose this is where I come in...! 16.1 (full up) Hunter/sports horse, to a Bennington BX4. I accidentally bought a spare carriage for him, along with a schroëder harness very like the one pictured, but black bound with dark tan... They're rare but lovely pieces! Here's my boy- He's...

I'm on holiday in a cafe enjoying an hour out from OH and kids, having had a meltdown this morning and just wanted to say that this has made me giggle- the thought of little dots on a Clyde all wearing willies :D Sorry, On a serious note, I'm picking bits up 2nd hand as well, but have...

Has anyone had any good response from using this site? I have a pony needing a new home. Very talented, very tricky, no good for showing or stressage but a lovely sharp/very responsive drive and able to be competed by the right person, however he has too many niggles for anyone 'normally...

http://coffeepotstud.com/index.html County Durham, so a bit of a hike, but well worth a phone call! The pics on the site don't do their ponies justice- I'll be paying either them a trip or a local judge who uses his stallions when I'm ready for my baby's first showing A which I'll be driving...

Sounds to me like it's your enjoyment and his! Manage him carefully, keep an eye on him and have fun.

Something very like my boy- he's a LRG/LW hunter stamp, I'm not looking for world beaters, rather sane nice types that can go round a driving trial at Club and small scale National level, up to intermediate class with the scope to be trained on a little more later on, that can also pop to a...

Hi all Bit of an odd question, I'm looking for horses to bring on for driving trials and am looking mainly in Ireland at the moment. The type I'm interested in are 3-4, under £2000 ideally, unbroken or started under saddle, 15-16 hands and short coupled with good conformation, a good shoulder...

I find that they breed a lot, and though you might get the odd gem, I've not met one yet- the ones I know are all slightly more neurotic than usual with D's (I have a D, not a hillgarth) and it's a bit of a lucky dip with them... But if you're buying soley for BSJA, why get hung up on a Welsh at...
