The first thing to know about Sapey is it's a pig of a journey! Quite old fashioned, and it has been quite straightforward at all levels but the last time I walked the Novice I thought it had several tough questions, a curving line of open corners running down the hill, rail ditch arrowhead and...

Thanks Wobble, it's been for sale for as long as I can remember, if only I could win the lottery - 2.5 million! Ah it was Kevin Frost last year, that's a good sign, when I googled the other day an entirely different trainer came up!

Wobble can you tell me who the contact is now at Helshaw? I go every Spring and every year there's a different racehorse trainer in situ! lamlyn2012 - whenever I have been there has been no one else there, perfectly friendly in my book! I find them tough gallops, quite steep!

always used to refer to it as moldy bold, still not changed, except this year as well as rock hard ground there was big puddles too!

I'm there on Wednesday with my cow pony, never been before but the course looks lovely, and it seems like its popular! Hoping I don't get lost as there seems to be closures on the M40 junctions

It was a right old bunfight to get to gallop but once we started no one was over taking lol

Spalding saddles is my saddler too - www.thesaddleman.co.uk Although the saddle is probably too blue for me I am going to see if Andy will make me the girth with the blue piping :)

I'm suprised by the comments, I have qualified and been to the RI for the last 3 years with a coloured, as a total amateur. I absolutely loved it. Not sure which ring the amateur hunters is in? Ring 5 has the all weather all the way around and is huge! Galloping my eventer up the long side of...

I'm dressage writing for an early section today, and am up much too early as obviously far too keen! Competing on Sunday, fingers crossed - it will be the first year out of the last 5 that it hasn't had to abandon :) Hoping the ground is perfect. Good luck everyone

I know Kelsall have a disclaimer saying their XC fences in the arena are not pinned down (and that's even in the BE arena eventing qualifiers)

Sarah Challinor (I cannot remember her married name!) would be the best show rider based very locally but I am not sure she if she'd come to you, you'd probably have to go to her

Someone local to me has just finished having one installed and one of the things we chatted about was that the absolute maximum a horse should be working on one is 20 minutes and that it is no good just having one session on them as the horse needs time (understandably) to get used to using...

I was wondering whether to try for the early one, got more chance of getting in I suppose. Dont know how long to leave to queue for, cant be bothered to spend my time waiting for something! Now they seem to put on such impressive demos you'd think they could make more seating, or a ticketing...

I have been to Your Horse Live every year since it's inception, when it was the equine event, but I have never watched a single demo (always too busy shopping and chatting) However, this year I do not seem to have a shopping list as long as my arm, so might try to catch the Tappers and Ben demo...

I've had good results to this problem with protexin gut balancer
