    Hunter Balmoral equestrian boots - the ones you can ride in

    Did you get them op? After buying several pairs of riding boots / jod boots / country boots, I've come to the conclusion that Hunters are the only thing that fit me! Considering the equestrian ones, but can't believe I missed out on them being £50 at Burghley!!

    So many horse for sale ad pics put me off, the people in them that is!

    Totally agree! The best I saw was a young 'trendy' lad sat on stunning horse, he had on- a flat cap, no top, those low jeans do his pants were showing and flip flops?! What was the point! The horse was the most stunning horse I have ever seen and he definitely distracted from it, he was in ALL...

    Burghley tickets - additional postage charge?!

    Yes it probably is human error. Maybe cheeky was the wrong word, but as I order loads and loads of tickets (and do quite honestly get annoyed about all the booking fees / delivery charges) and have never had any problems, it does frustrate me that what I class to be a very expensive purchase...

    A random one, is the road sloping at all when you turn right? I found that my gelding would nap at steep up or down hill, but would happily go another direction away from home if it was flat. I also noticed he slipped and sort of scared himself when we had been down hills (used to live In a...

    Reasonably priced hunter wellies?

    I got some of the £85 ones (adjustable) for £52 I think from amazon.. Also I bought some silver ones just for festivals 4 years ago, ended up wearing them for stables non stop and they're still going strong, maybe times are changing? Personally I've never had any issues with them anyway..
