Hey Guys I am looking for a yard with all year turnout and good hacking around Woodbridge/Debenham, Suffolk. DIY, Assisted DIY, grass livery or private yard all considered. Horse is very well behaved chap with no vices he needs lots of walk hacking due to injury so a school is not...

Boundary Farm, Framsden near Framlingham? Might be worth a call. Good luck.

With everyone who says brown and brass, and rubber reins. I also agree re no clips, I prefer buckles to billets, which tend to stretch more in my experience. I also like to see the leather extended under the buckle particularly on the flash strap so there it is less likely to pinch soft nose...

Had a Jus de Pomme - she was a YR ride and was very scopey but rather lazy, was a delight in the box and very easy to do. She was bay and quite an attractive horse, nicely put together wish we had kept her and put in foal but she had to finance the next horse.

3 hours - your horse will be fine, maybe take a damp hay net if worried about dehydration. Keep a window open in the lorry to circulate air, I usually have one open at the ramp end if herringboned so that the air flow doesn't blow any grass seed into eyes or ears. You can always stop and...

I got an office job about 4 years ago but when I was a groom I did 6 show jumpers on my own, all stable duties, feeding, lunging, fitness and kept tidy. On show days I had help from yard owner to bath/plait etc and she lived on site so did late night hay. That was totally manageable and I also...

Thanks - do you have their contact dets pm me if you like :)

My young horses would do a little bit of hunting leading up to Christmas for fun and to get them thinking forward (no schooling until the new year), would take them to BS/BD after Christmas, if weather enforced a holiday I would chuck them out as much as possible and just hack. These were horses...

Nope - my ex saw the horses as competition and would pout and sulk if his presence was ever requested at the yard (I had a yard of 4 at the time). We did have a difference of opinion about the best type of horse power him being into motorsport however this meant the weekends were guilt free for...

If I were you I would approach a freelance groom through word of mouth/recommendation and pay them, that way you will be more likely to find a suitable, experienced rider for your horses. Whatever you decide to do please make sure that who ever you do find has proper insurance. Good luck

I am interested however horseless at the moment but still think it would be great practise for when I get out eventing again. Got loads of 'stuff' hanging around to add to the car boot sale as well........ keep me updated please x

- I second the Farringtons, in fact I have a 17.5 med brown dressage that I dont know what to do with............ Echo what others have said, I would make sure that you get proper reputable and professional help with getting this saddle issue sorted. Re Passoas I find them very uncomfortable...
