For me, this is a miracle worker! Mine wouldn't eat it in the loading period initially, but I mixed it into sugarbeet whilst I soaked the beet and then she ate it without a worry. I'm currently trying the "bombproofing" additive before shows, more for my own piece of mind I think! Just...

I can't stand breeches that come ride up under your boobs!!!!! So uncomfortable, and so I end up folding the top down and then they are quite bulky.. which is fine but given choice I'd have lower rise ones. I've got some "Hacked Off" ones that are low rise and were a sale bargain - I LOVE...

So where is a coloured stock acceptable? Just hunting..? She's a TB so I guess we'd be ROR or Hack!?!

My black dressage jacket was a bargain second hand Pikeur for £20 ! Might flog my tweed ...

Knew this bit - just didn't describe my showing attire correctly! It was the jacket I wanted to check!

Unfortunately, the cash available to splash is approximately *Scrabbles around in her purse.......* £1.87p :( My bank account is slightly healthier but it's only half way through the month, I can't say I really have a sum to buy a navy jacket, or a coloured stock for showing, or a browband for...

Oh nooo! All the answers I was hoping not to get!! :rolleyes: Haha, I thought that was the case! Shopping it is then.... :D

Bit rusty!! I'm doing dressage on Sunday, know for this it's plain jacket / white jods.. and it *should* be a white stock? Could I get away with a coloured one? (I really want a pretty one :p !) I'm hoping to do a showing clinic in April.. I *hate* my tweed jacket, can I wear black or...

Has anyone ever used the Equifeast products, particularly Cool, Calm & Collected? I started using it in around September / October last year. The changes are fantastic! It hasn't "sedated" Chloe, she still has all her character and her quirks, but she can manage the situations in which...

I did :) I was advertising my old horse and had a response from someone who sounded absolutely perfect for him. However, she had to sell her mare first. Just in conversation, I asked what she was selling. At the time I was selling Red and having a break, maybe for a few weeks while I...

I've had Saddles from Saddles Direct (albeit they didn't fit!) but their service is excellent. Don't they buy saddles off you and sell on themselves? So you aren't technically left out of pocket for even longer. May be wrong on that one. RideAway will also buy 2nd hand saddles. The...

My TBs current bridle is a cob size, but the cheek pieces are on the top hole. I recently changed her bit which then required to be higher and so I had to punch more holes. Punching the extra holes made the browband sit to high, and pinch. Surely I am not the only person with a TB with a...

Mine is not too bad. I only let her off though if we are in a place she knows (otherwise the smells are FAR too exciting!). If I see another dog, I'll call her back only because I don't know many dogs in our area to know if they are 'ok' she has a few friends who I know are fine but if I...

There doesn't seem to be a lot.. I've had my ear to the ground to find some recently but can't find anything. There is a yard as you come into Barrow from Cotes, just before the roundabout and the new housing estate.. but I'm struggling to find out anything about it!

Long lane never have livery vacancies as they tend to only have a very small handful of liveries and focus more on the riding school.
