Looking to transition from a riding school setting to having a private instructor and am looking for one in the birmingham area. I am based in Aldridge myself. If people could post here or PM me with their name, some info, their rates, and their contact info that woud be great. Thank you!

There are a few I can think off the to of my head, but they may not have anything available. There are a couple of RDA centres near-ish to walsall that are always in need of volunteers!

I only know of one, Joanne Corley. I'm not sure if she has a website or anything, but she is my college lecturer so I can get her contact info if you want. She is very good with a bargey young mare we have at the college and have been slowly starting.

He sounds great, but I have never brought on a young horse and I wouldn't know where to start. have looked up the other sellers though!

I have at last started the long process of buying a horse and I'm currently looking at whether or not to buy from dealer/breeder or a private seller. I want a horse that I can compete on ocally, but has the otential to go further. My love is jumping and XC, and I love a good hack. I'm currently...

Thanks! I had a look at the breeds wiki page and they are stunning and will definitely stand out at a show. Finding any breeders or sellers is another matter but its worth a try. And yes, will definitely be putting aspects like temperament and how I feel about the horse, above a colour. It was...

Hi all, I'm doing some research in prep for buying a horse and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to what breed to go for. I'm looking at doing working hunter, show jumping and a bit of cross country. But I would like a horse that stands out from the rest in that it isn't the...

I am looking for a good livery yard in the Walsall area. Part or full livery is a must as I am a full-time college student at Rodbaston starting in September. However, as part of my course I must do a 300 hour placement over the two years, which would be voluntary. So if there is a livery...

I would happily get a pair of good country boots too! Especially for the winter! ^^ Any good brands or specific boots I should look at?

I'm starting my equestrian course in September and am in serious need of a pair of new tall boots as the zips have gone in my older ones due to heavy riding, and the fact they were on the cheap side. So, I'm in the market for a new pair. I'll be doing yard duties in them as well as riding...

Hi everyone! I got my letter back from Hartpury College and they have invited me for an interview with them in a couple of weeks (had to be postponed due to family circumstances). I have been riding for almost five years now, albeit with a two year break due to an accident. I am by no means...

I live in Aldridge and have been going to a local riding school, but I don't feel as though I'm progressing as much as I could be. Bourne Vale is about a half-hour walk from me, but Twylands have far better prices (1hr lesson for £40, as opposed to 1/2hr for £30). So I was wondering if...

I definitely wont be mucking out in them as I have a pair of wellies for that, so they will only be for riding. I have also tried looking for a pair of Bromonts as they are highly recommended by friends, but sadly can't find a pair in my size. I'm also worried that they will be too long for me...

Hi all! I have -at last- outgrown my tall synthetic boots and am looking to splash some cash on a replacement leather pair. Everyone says that Ariat is the best brand -and I can certainly see why- but I don't have that much money to spend since I'm only in part time work. I started looking...
