    Long Riding Socks

    Sock shop has some for £2.50 a pair. I really like them. Also have some good value bamboo ones. They last about 18 months but work hard in that time and are light but comfy.

    I find the whole thing incredibly weird and I think there is a lot more than we are being told. The horse has left without a passport but they are applying for a new passport? How can a 55% share dominate the other 45%? How did the horse grow in valuation in 2 years from £15k to £100k with her...

    He nearly killed Emily's boyfriend....at novice. He was never worth £40k. A complete scam.

    Sports Psychologist Recommendation

    I have used Sally - https://www.mindodyssey.co.uk/ which was really helpful. I used her once when doing 2* and once when I was diagnosed with cancer and my riding fell apart. I have also used TFT with Jo Cooper which was very successful. I don't think I have posted about them in detail...

    Searching for name of a book

    Definitely sounds like Caroline Akrill. I actually read the 4th book in the series recently!

    Showjumping books

    Buy something else - I have a tonne of showjumping books and waste of money. The most important thing in sjing is the canter and a book can't tell you if it's right or wrong. If you want it for exercises then just go on Instagram and screen shot them as much more useful.

    Yet another delightful rider..... not..... when will this end?

    I am not sure the person who owns EA and Point 2 is the highest bastion of integrity. Some of their adverts and comments over the years have been pretty preposterous.

    Yet another delightful rider..... not..... when will this end?

    Can I just clarify on this point - firstly Charlotte did not contest any decision with the FEI so accepted the guilt and hence why there was no tribunal or case to be answered so FEI went with the 1 year ban. Plus there was not other evidence of sustained abuse over a period of time with more...

    London International horse show

    Puissance is niche now. Tbh it takes a horse who isn't really compatible with modern sjing hence you only see Puissance very rarely now (uk/Eire) and full of mediocre horses. They will often just do 6 bars as well. I personally think it's done as a class. I hate watching it. It's super...

    London International horse show

    This just isn't true. Firstly, they actually jumped bigger. The fences were also more solid and fell less easily. The courses were not as technical though. The puissance had no rules for amount of time horses would jump. Secondly, there has always been a fair amount of tack on some horses...

    Bridle recommendations?

    Keep an eye on Dever website they normally do some strong Christmas offers with discount. https://www.deversaddlery.com/ I really like Butet bridles or amerigo.

    High blood - https://www.elitestallions.co.uk/stallion/Rahotep%20de%20Toscane 70% blood and won team gold at Rio. Coriolis des isles another worth considering with AA and 56% blood. Has a fair few offspring - jumped 1.60m with Max Kuhner...

    Grid work/Cavaletti style exercises for strength

    Loads on Instagram that I usually get some inspiration from. I screenshot and then add to my notes on my phone so can always access quickly for ideas. https://www.instagram.com/equus_academy?igsh=OGVtNDE3MG5rNm0z https://www.instagram.com/theshowjumpingblog?igsh=NjJ6bzJnbGtvZWFq...

    Which conditioning cube?

    If everything else works I would just add maybe a chaff with added supermarket oil of some variety. I usually get mine the cool and condition from Dengie as has some pellets in it and they all scoff it up. It's DE12 so a good start and then add oil if required. Will cost you a lot less.

    Severe Separation Anxiety

    I would look at Warwick Schiller because he has some really good work on this. These are very old now and he has a lot more up to date stuff about helping horses to learn to relax and also keep their attention on you if stressed about the their mates. Horses are herd animals and they have...
