Does anyone have one? Do you love it? More importantly, does your horse love it? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. TIA

Thank you Adorable Alice

Thank you HappyHollyDays. I will contact him and hope he's taking on new clients!

Looking for recommendations for a good farrier who will be patient with an old horse with mild shivers. Northants/Warwcks border. TIA (Also posted in East Midlands forum)

My 23yo Sports horse very probably has arthritic hocks. The Vet is coming tomorrow to discuss the diagnosis and treatment options. The left hock is chronic and the right is acute. He is not lame, he tears around the field like a hooligan and happily stands on his hinds legs to wave at me and...

Later than late but just doing a search on my old boy's breeding and this thread came up. His sire is Phillip Pembroke (Sire Louella Eisenfarn, Dam Willow Sharn VII) and his Dam is Bella (no further info) so I wonder if anyone knows him? Cornbrodolly perhaps? He's called Mista Boo, he's 22y.o...

Thanks everyone. BD came up trumps and the test arrived in the post today! :-)

Thank you Britestar! :-D

I googled repeatedly before posting here and couldn't find a usable copy. Never mind. I'm sure I'll enjoy it - we will definitely not win but I'm just going for the fun of getting out :-)

I've just entered into a dressage comp. being held next Tuesday. We're doing Intro C and I've ordered a copy from BD but it may take up to 5 working days to arrive - too late!! Does anyone have a copy of the BD Intro C test they'd be willing to share? TIA.

Anyone in the know about leather and saddle making? I know the above saddle has a carbon fibre tree but I don't know about the leather or about where it is made. Can anyone enlighten me? I have been told that it is English leather but that the saddle is made in Argentina by a very good saddler...

That's good to hear SEL. My on/off lame gelding prompted my research into surfaces. Without his "input" I'd probably be going for a sand and fibre surface :-)

Hi blood_magik One of the (many) reasons I'm going far a waxed surface is to avoid the need for irrigation and the CushionTrak has a higher wax content than the SoundTrak so it should be ok on that score. Interested to hear though that it stuck to everything!

Hi TheMule Sorry to hear about your bad experience. Which Martin Collins surface did you have? How recently did you have the problems? I have to say that I've heard similar stories about several equestrian surface providers - unless you're a big centre they don't seem to be that bothered. :-/
