I like her Michen :)

Have you looked at Sophie Damment? think shes Romsey so not too far from you she always has lots of nice young Connie's and connie x's - probably at various stages of training and price points but might be worth a call? https://www.facebook.com/SophieDammentEventing/ Sorry to hear about Boggle x

Sounds like you'll be fine OP, can you get out to a couple more clinics before the RC areas? I, like you, don't really like jumping at home, if i do i usually keep it about 1m/1.05 yet we compete at Fox so 1.20+ a bit, i just don't like it in 'cold blood' much prefer to go for a lesson/ arena...

a £1000 hat doesn't neccessarily protect you 10x as much as a £100 hat but hats are now designed for more than safety. Safety obviously being paramount but then people also want to consider more things when purchasing a hat; how does it look? whats the air flow like? will it keep me cooler when...

Darley do a very short (50cm) BS compliant whip with small handle, the 11yo (small) girl I work with carries it fine. As for unaff, if their schedule says 'run under BS rules' then technically yes you will need to comply https://darleylifestyle.com/collections/darley-whips

I use them on my competition bridle to show jump, she can just be quite reactive to outside influences when in the ring, since wearing them she hasn't been so bad - i don't think they make the world of difference but for only ₤20 it was worth a try

I feed Ruby Rowen & Barbury Ready Mash Extra in a separate feed when she drops off a bit, its excellent - she is also THE fussiest eater alive, will eat something for a bag or so and then not touch it atall. Normally shes just on Saracen Enduro which she loves, through the winter i guve her the...

Mine can be a bit nappy going out the yard and doesn't LOVE hacking so you;d probably still be sat in the yard. If you got her out, she'd find you the quickest route back to the yard :D

It's annoying but that gap wouldn't really bother me to be honest - but thats coming from an eventing background where you just accept you could have a 9am dressage and a 3pm SJ :p But generally my horse is very happy to be stood on the box, I would just walk her for a bit between the two...

We ended up at BS Premier League show yesterday with lots of fancy horses and riders! :O Ruby well and truly held her own and finished 3rd in the 1.10 open, only her 2nd time at that height. Just to give an idea of the calibre of riders there, Gemma Tatterstall won our class :D :D Then...

Ahh thats so lovely AH! Sounds like you have 3 very special ponies <3 Can't wait to see what Skylla can do as she grows up - all very exciting!

Ahh thanks for joining in guys! Love the matchy matchy DB - Such a trend setter! Was reminded of this quote earlier and thought very apt for this thread; Somewhere behind the athlete you've become, the hours of training, the sweat, the tears and the coaches who have pushed you...is a little...

*Positive sharing post!* Do you ever think about what young you, would think about now you and what you've achieved? I often think back to horseless 11,12,13year old me; I used to think that only the big dogs jumped BSJA (as it was), 2'9'' was just out of this world as i struggled round...

Yes definitely! As long as Boggle is happy to be the grown up, Ruby is not the happiest of hackers :p:D:D

I've not been around much this year but since I started the one at the beginning of the year, wanted to join in with the updates! :D Last year i wrote: 2018 - I'd like to get round a 90 again, and maybe un park the step up to 100. :O - Learn to Halfpass! Aside from changes, this is my most...
