Well done! Brill result! x

My two mares travelled everywhere together in my IW trailer - never a problem until about 6 months ago when I was taking them back from a friends yard where I had been scooling for a few days. The mare in my sigi started panicing for no appartent reason setting of the other one! When I got the...

I have a Ramiro B - the mare in my sigi. I do show jumping with her only so cant comment on eventing. She is brave and honest and will climb a fence for you if she has to. She is out of a TB mare. Interestingly though a Ramiro B 4yr old is leading the 4yr Future Event Horse class at the Dublin...

Thank you all for your help and ideas! I will be putting them all into practice and will keep you posted!

Can anyone offer me any help, ideas or exercises to stop me over checking in front of the fence! I know im doing it and I know I shouldn't but I just cant help it! I approach the fence and even though on my turn to it I say to myself "don't check" I still end up doing it and when I get to the...

So sorry for your loss RIP Jazz

Saxon 600 Light! Bought two for my girls at the start of year and they are fab! Would really recommend them. Great fit - both my girls are different shapes but neither rug moves or rubs. They have a light fill so are perfect and I noticed the other day that you could get them for under £30 now!

My ones are called "Rain Legs".They fasten round your waist like a belt and then you can roll them down over your legs when it rains - they stop just arround the top of the boot. http://www.rainlegs.co.uk/
