My 6 month old LaPerm kitten loves peeing on hard flooring. Finally shes much better after Ive gone through various litters (and trays etc) and now find she likes a thin layer of silica litter but its awful as doesnt absorb enough pee so theres pee underneath which is gross when shes scratching...

Is this allowed? Just a bridle stripped down to the headpiece and bit (and reins of course) for BS and RC mainly? I know BS have been making lots of changes lately but I cant find info on if you HAVE to use these.

Thanks - can you recommend any nice, leafy and family friendly rural villages in your area? We can now go up to £500k which helps a bit. Ive realised that Ill just have to try and rent a field as like you say, my budget just wont stretch to anything with even an acre of land. Schooling is...

Thanks, yes sadly the job in Stirling didnt work out (company had to lay off a load of staff) - wish it was Stirling at thatd be a much easier move! Yes it is exhausting I have to say. This move is definite now though as OH has already moved to a rented flat in Sheffield to get going with the...

Thanks all, so much to think about.

Thanks so much Red-1, looking at those now. Thank you!

Thank you, yeah the ones that are just within budget seem to be far more East into Lincolnshire, but the commute would be rather far for all the ones Ive favourited so far (over 1 hour)

Thanks Red-1, so what sort of areas does this cover please? Is it Epworth, Crowle, Skunthorpe etc.? Just looking on a map!

So... nothing confirmed yet but OH may be about to be offered a job in Sheffield (so needs to be up to 1 hour commute). Im freaking out as we currently live in NE Scotland where house and land prices are cheap (and land plentiful). Our "happy" figure would be around the £350k mark. Maybe push up...

Ive had 3 ponies I can think of in my time owning horses that were an absolute nightmare to catch when I first got them. I did the basic "join up" with them and to be fair, it did work. I did it every single day until eventually they came willingly. Probably because they simply couldnt be...

Nahh, this wasnt just a smack with a whip, this was a really dumb thing to do and showed a total lack of empathy for the horse. She was at the top of her profession, you generally behave BETTER when you're in the public view. Yes, she deserves to not compete again and yes she shouldnt own horses...

Ive got a brand new one I tried once with mine, she didnt seem to like it at all. Its can be used 3 ways, for sale if your interested!

I have to agree. So many people are all "welcome back Charlotte". I was so very disappointed in her when I watched "that" video. IMO its very difficult to ensure someone has changed and will never do something like that again, as they felt it was acceptable in the first place which most of us...

I recently bought a 2nd hand Equicoat (now Reincoat), the winter version and I have to say Ive been lovely and dry in it so far, and it quite horrible rain.

What a joke IMO. Pre-novice should have been the lowest BE went (and yes I admit I have done intro's, but only because they were there!). BE is meant to be a level you aspire to, Pony Club and Riding Club are what you do first, then move onto BE if you want to progress IMO. Theyd be better just...
