As as very green riders, we were told that if the horse is getting too fast on a narrow forest track and we can't slow it down, turn its head into the trees.

I've never owned a horse or even loaned or shared, but used to have a lesson every week, sometimes with an extra here or there. And I started later in life. I'd not sat on a horse in about eighteen months when I did the Equirando for the fourth time last summer. I go up to the school every...

For a bit of grace and humour: Lady Muck We all know that where there's muck, there's brass.

Might work for you, but when I see that kind of name and there's clearly nobody with those names involved I feel misled and think of the brand as being untrustworthy. There's something to be said for a brand name that means nothing... If you do the marketing right it eventually becomes...

Wow, 3.600 Ft is about €9.40!

I'm sure some of those are wriggling...

Was there a vending machine nearby?

I think you mean Ko-Cho-Line. https://www.carrdaymartin.com/our-products/leather-care/intensive-conditioning-protection/ko-cho-line-leather-dressing/ I've never tried it, but it has a good reputation. I used dubbin on my hiking boots in the past, or mink oil (not really made from mink, these...

Here in France a traditional way of limiting sheeps' movement is to fit the flock leader with three pieces of wood around it's neck, so that it can't push through a hedge or fence to easily. That frame is called a "tribart". If the sheep wearing it can't get through, then the others can't follow...
