I sometimes video when schooling because I find it helpful to be able to see from the ground (in a way) how it's going. Normally end up sticking the camera on a fence, barrel or anything the right height! Doesn't have the benefits of being able to follow the horse but does the job.

Wow! Sounds like you had a fab day, what an improvement in dressage. Well done.

5750 for two horses.

Depends who you ask but I asbsoloutely hated riding in it. Wasn't impressed with it at all. Local saddler won't stock it, actually, as he thinks it's so awful!

I always look at it as depending on the circumstances. For instance had the only one of mine sold that failed a vetting not been bought anyway, I wouldn't have told any potential people that it had as what came up at the vetting was all rubbish. Should a horse fail on something that is a...

I found it made the horse I used it for very relaxed and extremely laid back to handle and on the ground, but didn't make a change to ridden nervousness.

Know exactly how it feels...times two! Poor you. Really hope he finds a lovely home. I'm rubbish at lottery else you could have £3000 (£500 so he will never run out of pink booties )

Thanks for the help! Have now sold it for 2200 to a friend. Happy for quick sale.

How much would you expect to pay for a green (not sure colour has much relevance to price!) 3yo Ifor Williams 505, w/matting throughout. Not used that much, still in great condition. Regularly serviced.

I am nearly always talking!Whether it be hacking, schooling, sj or xc. "Good boy/girl", "what a star" and "get on" feature most. If you talk then you have to breathe. Helps me calm and focus. Horses I've had seem to like it too. I accidentally swear sometimes (like if horse has put in an...

Not very competitive unless there's a very good reason to be, and in that case I will be quietly confident. Don't get nervous about competing as I love it, just about my own ability. Analyse everything..probably over analyse really.

Can imagine how you're feeling. Huge vibes for you and your horse and fingers crossed, hope it goes well.

The mare I had used to fizz up very easily (couldn't have any cool mix, nor pasture mix for example). Obviously depends on the individual, but after trying different feeds I had her on Staypower Muesli when she was competing. She did very well on it and didn't fizz up at all.

It was rather quiet which I guessed was because of Bicton. There were only two other competitors there at five to nine. Only just over 20 people in the BN I think.
