Cheers for that, you want me to pay to travel to volunteer, then pay to get my dog looked after. Like that is going to happen.

As a volunteer at BE events, what am I supposed to do with my dog when I'm at an event for up to 12 hours if I can't take her with me?

I would expect the first step to be speaking to the yard owner or manager and seeing if you can get your money back. You do sound well out of there!

Some yard owners aren't even horsey, so as a general rule, no I wouldn't. I would expect them to be able to call a farrier.

Andrew Nicholson for being so still and balanced. Mark Todd for being one of the nicest human beings on earth. Ian Stark for being the second nicest human being on earth and for having the cohones to ride Murphy Himself to such success. Least favourite riders are the ones who ride honest horses...

My mare had a series of 3 Cartrophen injections in the second half of last year. I can't recall the dose each time, but they seem to have made an enormous difference.

I had a mare who got tender behind the saddle coming into season at the beginning of each year. Oestress really helped her.

I was thinking more in terms of batmobile - batcave - bathorse.....
