I had a Rambo Duo and it lasted brilliantly, loved it! But my dear old hoss was so easy on his rugs. Even so, I tried him in a Weatherbeeta I was given one winter and it fell to bits. The zip-on neck zips failed and the front trigger clips sheared off. All the fastenings on my old Duo are still...

I pay a truly eye-watering £30 a bag for Pure Feed's Pure Balance feed. However, it's not something I begrudge as (a) the horse went from awful to sane and saintly on it, and (b) it's just a balancer - you feed tiny amounts of it and then add lots of forage, which I have ad lib on my livery. So...

I think people hear the world "horse" and just start spouting about how expensive they are. I've had conversations with non-horsey people when I had my horses on livery at nearly £800 a month. Not surprisingly, they said how expensive that was. Fair enough. But now I have a horse on DIY, for a...

Have to say Burghley TV for me has barely worked - got lots of bandwidth, must be Firefox. Been on all day and it STILL has only about ten rides loaded to watch. That, plus no controls gives it a big fat Bronx cheer from me.

In a nutshell. Well said. You must be another "celeb-obsessed hysteric" like me then!

Tinkerbee - go back and read what I said - I DON'T WATCH THOSE SHOWS! Can you get your head around that? And all I did was put a post on here. As a professional media journalist, I have access to media news, which I put on here. I also touch type exceptionally quickly, so a "long post" actually...

Er, where exactly did I say it affects my life? I don't read any tabloids, chat mags or watch "trash TV" either. And how would going to a developing or Muslim nation help? Puzzled... What I'm doing is raising this news in front of an informed equestrian audience and beomaning the fact that...

First she was Jordan, a hyper-siliconed "glammer modell" who was mostly a figure of fun because of her ludicrous boobs. Then she "got serious" and used - gasp! Her aktewal, like, real name, right. Now she is, as the TV voiceovers would have us believe, "an author, model, businesswoman and...

We moan about her because instead of the media focusing on positive female equestrian role models - Lucinda Green, Pippa Funnell, Mary King, Lucinda Fredricks, Kelly Marks, Steph Croxford, Louise Bell - to name a VERY few right off the top of my head, they concentrate on a talentless surgery...

Er, considering that there are people on HHO competing in all disciplines to a high level (remember the day "Sarkie" commented on here?) then I think we can safely say no, she's NOT a better a rider than most people on here. Where do you get that from? There are many deserving riders who are...

A lucky escape! Dd we know if he had been riding or was he on the ground at the time?

A frirend of mine loved her SC GP so much I ordered one - the Event model. To be fair, it wasn't the right saddle for me or the horse, but it really was truly awful. It wasn't really right on delivery, it wasn't right after another adjustment and when another saddler saw it he just grimaced and...

Doris 68 is pretty much there, but I would avoid the preamble and go straight to the "sorry, I'm concentrating here" point, and ride past with a blank face, giving zero reaction to any other words, and riding at the other end of the school to make the point even clearer. I'd be really wary of...

I'd second the idea of having an IH expert look at him, and also see if the steroids work. Get an idea from the vet when you should start to see a difference, and from that point, if you've not seen a massive improvement, move to plan B. Plan B, would, for me, be retiring him to a nearby...
