Personally I am not so sure that a snap election is the way to go. You only need to see what happened to Zac Goldsmith. We have voted out but if Liberals and SNP stood on a "remain in the EU" ticket they could grab 40%+ of the electorate. This would be enough to return an overall majority in...

It could be someone who has been badly fooled previously by well prepared sellers who have ridden horse into the ground, turned out and then appears to be extremely placid when in reality it is extremely sharp and not suitable at all. Please note I am not putting you in this bracket just that...

I have long thought that Knighthoods seem to be coming too easy nowadays. An MBE then OBE for achievements within your particular sphere seem to be fine but a Knighthood should be based on more than proficiency or length of service. Contribution above and beyond an individuals area of expertise...

Your alternative is to park your lorry on your drive and park your cars in the layby. They cannot stop cars parking and then you probably won't need to rip out the hedge.

There appears to be no guidance within the Highway code on parking in a lay-by during daylight hours however the following guidance does relate to parking during hours of darkness: 250 Cars, goods vehicles not exceeding 1525 kg unladen weight, invalid carriages, motorcycles and pedal cycles...

I never said that the cost was not a factor it obviously is, especially for countries where Eventing is not normally undertaken at 3* plus level. What I said was that the cost is in creating the facility in the first place not in running it for 1 day less or more. Also I did not suggest that...

With respect It is not all about the cost or the number of horses. It is largely about the Olympics trying to be inclusive and not restricting opportunities to a smaller number of nations. The splitting of the event into Team / Team Individual / Individual would mean that the top names are...

This will not encourage nations to send younger more inexperienced riders to the Olympics. In a team of 4 you can carry one on this basis. An alternative would be to run the team and individual as separate competitions. You could also potentially create a medal structure, one for team, one for...

Strictly speaking horses don't pass or fail vettings per se. The vet will give you his opinion on whether the horse is physically suitable for the job you want him to do. This would include comments on conformation if that is likely to lead to an issue that would prohibit the horse from...

As you know what the time slot is and where its coming in from why not stake out the route for a few nights with a friend and some leaflets showing damage caused. Approach anyone with a dog and politely explain "that you know its probably not their dog but inform them of the problems that you...

The RSPCA appear to be very good at giving the impression that they have the right to come and check on an animals welfare and people that don't think they have anything to hide will frequently let them. The RSPCA then inform you that your animal is being subject to cruelty and state that they...

Are you in Pony Club or if not do you know anyone who is ? If your pony is nice and safe just more of a second pony than first then you could try speaking to the Pony Club DC and see if anyone is looking for one on loan. If it is going locally through Pony Club then you will see it out and about...

I don't think she will call a General Election until Brexit has happened, there is too much risk. If the Liberals ran on a Remain ticket along with SNP then you could find that many people that do not want to Brexit would vote for them. With the Brexit voters being split between Conservatives...

This sounds like good advice, as being totally on your own can get lonely. List the good and the bad, then list what can be done to improve the bad. Hay situation then as per MM or failing that put so many aside for the week, double net his horses hay to slow it down Barging horse then teach...

If as they have said that it needs two new tyres, then this would imply that they have had someone check it over and it would also imply that it was not a nail or ordinary flat tyre but more likely a blow out. As I said originally I personally would have said that I would happily refund the...
