    Accommodation in exchange for care of horses

    Hi everyone, I wondered if anybody can help me? I'm looking for some accommodation in either the Hampshire or South Oxfordshire/Berkshire areas, where perhaps somebody has an annexe or cottage on their land that they are looking to reduce rent on in exchange for help with their horses. Basically...

    Why do people want to own cobs?

    Thank you faracat I stumbled across this during the morning coffee :) I'm now at work but I'll try and post a pic later :) I know that nobody meant offence with this thread the above was just a question that struck me, so I thought I'd ask. I promise it is genuine curiosity and I would thank...

    Why do people want to own cobs?

    As a horse lover I have to say I love all of them, regardless of breed, age, ability. Any horse that does his or her job as she's supposed to is worth their weight in gold to me. You buy your own horse based on what your requirements are. As long as the horse meets those requirements surely it...

    Anyone else got a horse who hates not working?

    I remember the first spring I had my TB she'd lost a lot of weight over winter so I thought 'you can go out on some lush grass and have a nice month off to get a bit fat' it was my friends field and I felt awful because .... She chewed all the fences, galloped around screaming her head off for...

    Anyone bought from Shane Walsh?

    I've met Shane a couple of times and found him lovely, I also know of lots of friends who have brought from him, every single one of them loves their horses and he matched them up brilliantly. I would absolutely recommend!

    Side Saddle Help!

    I have to ask above have you loaned a side saddle? I've been desperately trying to find one for lease and am currently falling short of finding anyone who does this still? Everyone I've contacted seems to have gone on to sell now instead. Thanks!

    Traveling a horse loose.

    I've a friend whose a dealer and anything young or tricky always goes in and travels without a partition and loose. We even often travel the hunters two together in the trailer just tied to each side and found they travel a lot better. You'd think doing this they might stand on each other, or...

    Books to have...

    Following this thread I brought and have just read memoirs of a fox hunting man by sigfried, which I just loved but broke my heart in equal measure. Followed by in the pink, a very different read but one I really couldn't put down. Molly Watsons writing style had me laughing from start to...

    Places where you can send your horse for time off/grazing livery

    It would be cost for me unfortunately. Whilst I could afford to pay for the grass livery, full livery is just a bit out of the price bracket. In fact probably totally out of it :) it may be that the job just takes me to another part of the country in which I would deffinately take her with me...

    Places where you can send your horse for time off/grazing livery

    Hi everyone, a big thank you in advance to anyone who can help :) It may be that I have to go to work in London for a year of so. This isn't set in stone yet but I think it is worth investigating my options. I'd like to find somewhere I can turn my pony out for this period to have a year...

    Oliver Townend

    I didn't see his dressage but his XC yesterday was fantastic. It was the one round that had me glued to the screen. I'm no eventing buff in any way but through my ignorant and unknowing eyes I've found myself really liking OT. Mainly because he isn't scared to run a few people up the wrong way...

    Feeling grateful for what I've got, not just want want want

    That sounds amazing. I still stop to be that envious person when I spot certain set ups. I can't imagine ever taking that for granted, but like everything I'm sure it gets quite easy, I said that about having a pony! But I will have a cottage and land in the countryside when I 'grow up' lol. A...
