Highly entertaining report as always but hardly necessary to make a mockery of the Irish commentator who happens to be one of the most respected finders and producers of young event horses in the country. Also a very well informed commentator. Worth listening to rather than mocking.

Lol, how sharp??? What's your number? ;-) I suppose I will just think more on it, but I've not had personal experience with rehabbing one from this particular injury and I am hoping to get some personal experiences. From what I have read online, it looks very much like this is the injury she...

In her defence, JHR is one of the very, very nicest, most friendly and approachable GJ people in the whole sport. She would not have meant any of that in a mean or negative fashion and I am sure was absolutely delighted to have seen you do so brilliantly in the next two phases. Well done for...

I am looking at my little horse having tenoscopy to determine whether this is the cause of her slight lameness and weird sudden appearance windgalls and loss of form. She has had two workups with one of the top lameness vets in the country and all of the scans, x-rays, nerve blocks etc, but he...

The rules are usually the same here in Ireland. Small Hunters are 158cms and under as are Small Riding Horses. Some local shows have an upper height limit of 160cms for Small Hunters - I have no idea why, but a few of them do. Intermediates are also 158cms. You can do workers if the horse is...

Hi Eventmum, tried to pm you but can't for some reason. If you do venture to Ireland I have one that might fit the bill. 158cms, was rsv champ riding horse at royal Dublin, and has jumped to 1m10 and evented with wins and placings EI100.

Seriously impressive, well done! I looked at the course photos last night and it looked really strong - much more like a Novice than a Pre Novice. Is that why the show jumping was 1m10 too - because it's a championships?

I'm another one going against the majority and I'm a graphic designer!! I must say I really like the new layout. I thought it had got a bit thin on content in recent times and felt like you could flip through it in minutes. Now it feels more like you can sit down with a nice juicy chunk of stuff...

Have a look at the Equifest group on Facebook. I'm pretty sure I saw someone advertising stabling on there near to Windsor.

Yep that keeps happening to me too. It doesn't inspire confidence that it's so slow to load and sometimes even times out. Still its reassuring that you had bo problems ordering, thanks for responding. :-)

Does anybody know if this site is actually being manned or up and running? Owned by Florence Bellm? The prices seem very, VERY keen in comparison to every other site I have visited for the same product, so I was wondering if it's legit? I tried calling their phone number but it seems to...

We had one like this over the summer (although vet was involved as it had to be stitched etc). MEDICAL grade Manuka is great stuff (the supermarket stuff has not been sterilised) and we bandaged with dry Animalintex until we were sure there was no more gunk to come out. What really speeded up...

Zorro my point was that there is more than one horse that fits your description in the sale. Whether you meant to or not you may now have affected the chances of the others too.

Zorro whether you intended or not, you may now have completely spoilt the chances for more than one person at this year's sale with your rumours and innuendoes. There aren't many horses in the sale as per your description, so I would respectfully suggest that you remove your earlier post as you...

Put a short whip in your outside hand and give him a tap on the shoulder when he starts to hang out. He'll soon realise it's not allowed.
