    The east anglia version of olympia

    Ah what fabulous fun we had! Frank was too keen in the practice run to then forget how to turn tightly…don’t think we drove any of our planned lines lol. However by the end of it we were back on track! Annoying faulted in the last round which was our fastest but took second place and got a bag...

    Final Weekend in November Plans

    I'm completely bias but yes lol! I've had him 7 years, came to me as a lead rein pony and now he's a all rounder superstar. Still does lead rein duties, also is a first ridden pony and I broke him to drive at the end of 2021. He'll be 19 next year. No trouble at all to keep, the only negative is...

    Final Weekend in November Plans

    It was indeed a goodun'! Dressage went very well, 2 x 2nds with good solid scores (prelim was generous lol) I was very chuffed to get an 8 for my riding in both tests! Weather was so rubbish I didn't get to hack my new boy (part of me doesn't want to get my new saddle soaked lol!) just did a...

    Final Weekend in November Plans

    Exited for mine as it's a busy one so thought I'd start this thread! Saturday off to the BRC area dressage qualifier. I compete my friends horse who is just an absolute pleasure so it's always a relaxing and enjoyable day out. Hopefully back in time to squeeze in first hack on my new boy as we...

    BD Dressage to Music song selection

    I think for organiser and riders it is all a bit stressful as it can go wrong whatever format! But really is so enjoyable! Finding the right music and then getting it all come together is a great feeling. I did a BRC qualifier last weekend, mp3 all sent and basically when they hit play it was...

    Tell me your positive stories re hard to break youngsters!

    It's always a shame when it doesn't go to plan when you set out with the best intentions. I probably shouldn't post as I don't fill the required criteria of your post lol! But if you want to know ask and I shall divulge.

    Knowing when it’s time

    Its the hardest but most important decision we make for them. I think if the thought has entered your head you need to give it attention and think about it carefully. From what you wrote I think it's the most sensible choice. I never judge anyone for making this decision, only you as their...

    Hay prices

    £40 a round bale, Suffolk. Same as previous year but bales are smaller as we're able to squeeze another in. Our supplier has said we can have the same amount of bales as last year, only slight bugger is we've started earlier but hoping it will level out once they come in at night and move onto...

    Who is the associated championships for?

    I do wonder if they will amalgamate certain breeds and their relations e.g. Arabs and PBAs to create bigger classes if numbers remain low. The native section always blows my mind as to how big it is! Frustrating change for you, I admit I really know nothing about those breeds so wouldn't...

    Who is the associated championships for?

    I really enjoyed the Associated Champs, first year at Bury Farm then second year when they moved it all to Onley. Although I was in a very small section - Part Bred Arabs - so was lucky enough to place as we were very mediocre lol. I think it's nice competing against the same breed and certainly...

    These would be luxuries but heating - will help keep everything in perfect condition and a sink with running water.
