Thanks. I didn't realise that about the pepper. I bought the global herbs as occasionally someone else feeds her for me. She's been on flax for a while for skin and coat condition, particularly as she's prone to feather mites, hence why I was wondering if it may be the turmeric that may be...

Global herbs sell turmeric ready mixed with black pepper, so you just need to add micronised linseed or flax oil. I've got my mare on it for the first time post first ever episode of lammi. It's turned my normally laid back cob into a complete nut job. I'm giving it a good few weeks to see if it...

Thanks. This is all taking some digesting, but will get there. We live within area 16, only 5 minutes drive from speetley ec at Barlborough, do we compete in the area we live or can we cross to others as well? As we're on the borders of both 21 and 23, which will broaden our options for club shows

I've tried looking for UKSJ forum on facebook and nothing comes up on searches :-/

Thanks. I'm a bit of an everything for her these days, so will bear the advice re pushing in and fences in mind! Not sure what you mean by jumping on a ticket? Do I go through bs for that or arrange it with the centre?

thank you :-) Will take her along to watch and see what she thinks, whether to give her another year or not, don't want to knock her confidence, being a baby still.

Hi all. My daughter has decided to make the step from RC and PC showjumping to BS. As a newcomer to this level of SJ much needed help and advise as to where we start would be so much appreciated. She's 16 and riding a 16.2 just 6yo WB cross, so I'm told has to do seniors. Obviously we need to...

Thank you. Will definitely look into that one as another option :-)

Thanks. Do they have a website? I have a friend who lets caravans in Filey so we have access to his whenever we want to head up that area but we're willing to consider somewhere with accommodation as well.

Hi. Does anyone know of anywhere around the filey area who does weekend/mid week grazing livery? We want to take our horses away with us for a short break in spring/early summer, we have somewhere to stay in Filey but need grass livery and parking for large 7.5t box.

We go through Pounds of chalk for showing, and have to rewash hinds when we get to location. White socks look stunning but are a right royal pain in the butt, lol. Not being up to date on the latest makes, there's so many more out there now than when I needed them many years ago! I need a make...

Can anyone please recommend boots for use in xc, sj that are lightweight, breathable and secure, can be used in water as well as being supportive. The pony isn't a fan of bandages being wrapped around her fetlocks for keeping white socks clean and for traveling, she tries to kick them off, she...

Thanks, I'll give that a try as well. She doesn't jog on hacks at all, walks on a loose rein until I collect her and ask her to trot, then trots on a loose rein until I ask her to come down to walk, generally by just slowing my rise and then within 2 sitting strides shes walking on a loose rein...

She lunges fine, long reining she'll walk along happily. Haven't tried a short hack then going into the school so will give that a go. I've started trying nh ground work with her to see if that helps, but so far we've only done a few simple pressure-release ie backing up, turning her...

She's not nervous of a rider and not in pain ridden, as she's a completely different horse out hacking. Physiotherapist gave her a thorough assesment and was happy with everything, my Vet also gave her a thorough check, health wise she's fit and well. She just doesn't seem to like the school. I...
