    I feel like I should design something and make my millions!

    Why don't martingales come with the rubber stopper?!

    I'm talking about the stopper that goes in the middle of the martingale, where the two straps join, rather than the stoppers that go on the reins. Yes that makes sense! Finally got it on and to be fair, it was a funny half hour!

    Why don't martingales come with the rubber stopper?!

    I've just spent a hilarious and frustrating half an hour putting a rubber stopper on my new martingale and wondered why they don't come with them on! Any ideas?! It took 3 of us, some hot water and some pliers to get the blasted thing on! I now have very sore fingers!

    Looking for info on Surrey equestrain scene.. Want to move here.

    I live in Walton-on-Thames which is really close to Weybridge. There's a few yards here but hacking isn't great unfortunately. I work in Ealing and the drive does take about 1hr30 during term time but only 40mins in school holidays! I don't drive round the M25 way though it's too...

    Does your cat do the chirpy thing?

    Mine is very chatty! Whenever he jumps up on the sofa or the bed he meows a little greeting. Or if he's in a different room to us he chirps to just remind us where he is! He is especially chatty in the mornings, particularly when we are having a lie in! He also chirps when he's playing with his...

    Vet or Not?

    I booked him an appt just after I posted. Thought there was no reason. Much better to take him even of there isn't anything wrong. Just didn't want to waste the vets time!

    Vet or Not?

    Hi, I have a 9 year old persian cat. I noticed last night that he was a little weak on his back legs. He struggled to jump up onto the sofa and seemed to pull himself up rather than push up. He is still walking and running (as much as he ever does, he;s quite lazy!) without problems, and...

    Riding and competing with scoliosis?

    I have mild scoliosis in my lower back. Like someone said above, the main thing for me is knowing when I'm sitting straight. Also, doing yard chores can really hurt so I do have to be careful.

    Cat Sitting- How much?

    We looked after their dogs last summer when they went away and they paid us for it and gave us a bottle of something nice as well so would like to reciprocate. I am happy to pay I just didn't want to appear stingy!

    Cat Sitting- How much?

    Thanks for the replies! Hopefully what I was thinking is along the right lines then :) I didn't want to offend her by not offering enough so i think £50 and a bottle of her favourite drink should be ok then.

    Cat Sitting- How much?

    We are going away for a week on holiday and a friend is coming over to feed the cat twice a day while we are away and hopefully spend a bit of time with him so he doesn't get too lonely. How much would you pay them? The person lives 1 minute walk from my house and would need to come twice...
