You can park right by Ogmore Riding School / Trekking Centre. You'll need to cross the river and follow it down to the sea. As far as I know you're not allowed in the sand dunes without a permit.

Hi all, I'm looking for DIY in the Bridgend area - not sure where to start! Would prefer a quiet friendly yard with manege, summer turn out and bring in at night during winter. I'd love to be near the beach but it isn't essential. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Lauren

Hi, I bought a horse in my gap year but lived in Cardiff anyway. As above, it depends on your coursework. There's plenty of yards although if you have no transport you'll be a bit stuck for choice. I'm paying £78 a month for manege, summer turn out and stabled at night in winter. It's the...

Hello, thanks for your message. It is an old injury that she had before me so I think I'm a bit limited with assisting any healing. She does have physio though which seems to help. She is a tb with poor feet but i'm currently working on strengthening them! Thanks for your help :)

This thread has made me laugh out loud - which is great considering that I have a stinking cold! My ex was really jealous of the horses - to the point that he would nag me not to check them! Better off without him =D

I'd have the vet check him over for ulcers, kissing spine etc. If nothing was flagged up & turning away was not a valid option then pts.

I wear mine - doesn't matter what the temperament of the horse is like as accidents can so easily happen. I fell off last April & broke my back. Luckily I was wearing it at the time.

To be completely honest I just go with gut feeling. I know that may not be of much use to you though!

Mine is pretty bold. The second time I ever jumped her was at a competition & came third! She's a 13 yr old ex polo horse :)

Pts - better to do it early than a moment too late. I feel for you - never a nice situation x

Mine didn't have any markings either. Pretty sure the vet completed it last time he was out though.

I switched from amtrust (who wouldn't pay out) to them. Haven't had any problems but then I've not claimed. A friend had a successful claim with them though.

Does he do the same if you bandage them? Mine scratches her face on them so I've given up! Hers is more to do with having a sweaty face though.

I would contact citizens advice to see if they could help.
