Hello Looking for some friendly advice...I own a 3.5ton horsebox (van conversion) I want to replace the floor. The current floor is plywood with metal base. The problem is there aren't a great deal of horsebox specialists where I'm from. I spoke to a trailer specialist and he said he would...

Thank you very much Eventingmum that's really helpful xx

By the way - I know the first Eglinton was cancelled but they have now decided to re-schedule it over Scone Weekend as Scone has now been cancelled.

Hello Can anyone offer any advice on Eglinton BE90 event. We have had 2 runs at BE90 this year and he managed both of those very well. How is the dressage warm up, Showjumping and whats the cross country like, technical/beefy/whats the ground usually like? It's quite a distance for us to...

Thank you, I'll check it out

I hope this is allowed... I'm on the lookout for a 2nd hand Albion K2 jumping saddle. Preferably brown but would be happy with black. medium, 17 - 17.5' Have checked ebay, horsequest etc if anyone has any suggestions where else I could look or if anyone has one for sale, please let me know...

This is a long shot but does anyone know who the photographer was at the dressage @ wee Burgie on Sat? It wasn't George Michie as he was only doing the SJ & XC. Thanks

Thank you so much for your replies and for all the tips on making the stay more comfortable (or as comfortable as it can be) I may be able to convince my oh now. I'm so glad that i'm not the only one thinking of doing this! Hen - Your 3.5ton box sounds fab. My one is very basic! Im so...

Just wondering what you all do if you have to stay overnight at an event? Do you go for a local B&B or do you opt for sleeping in your trailer? Most events are quite a distance from me and I usually have to travel down the day before with my OH driving. B&B's tend to add a further £60.00 on...

Thank you MagicMelon! Sometimes It feels like we are so out of the way up here he he That's very helpful, I have now decided to enter the hunter pace. Like you say, we can pop over the stuff that we feel comfortable with and miss out the ones that could possibly knock our confidence (& jump...

Thank you Muffinthemule. That's very reassuring, sounds like it's nice course to take my boy to :) Good idea about the hunter pace. I wasn't really sure what that entailed but if I get to pick and choose each fence then that would be ideal for us! I'm really excited now :-) Hopefully see...

Hello, This is a long shot as there doesn't seem to be many people as far north as me on here :) Anyway, here goes: Has anyone on here done knock cross country by Huntly? I'm taking my young horse next month and I'm trying to decide whether to enter the mini (60cm) or the novice (80cm)...

RIP Freddie. How lucky he was to find such a loving home for the rest of his days.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I know exactly how you feel. We lost our mare very suddenly - last thing we expected :( I felt sick to the stomoch with the shock and suddeness of it all. everything was so good one day and in the blink of an eye my world fell apart. Take care of yourself, cherish...

Would someone please be kind enough to explain to me what pick a fence entails? Is it just as simple as it sounds - go round a x country course and pick whichever fence you wish to do (big or small) Thanks and sorry for the numpty question
