    Just a strange oddity!

    I’m allergic to horses as well (and dogs and cats) good job we have all of them! I definitely have a bigger reaction to my mare that has sweet itch than any of the others, I think it’s because she has a more scurfy coat than the others, I don’t let her lick me, she’s more inclined to use teeth...

    Winter riding tight/leggings

    I've got a few pairs of these and really like them, also was very impressed with their customer service when I had an issue with a pair. https://scorchingnorth.com/collections/riding-tights

    Last weekend in October plans??

    This was between Cirencester and Cheltenham (Cotswold Team Chase), I think there are a couple of the mini events through the year, not sure where as this was out first one. All the courses hold Novice height which is the next one up but it is a huge step between the 2! Well it is for me anyway!

    How much do you pay for professional event photos?

    Well, having just spent a small fortune on photos after completing our first ever team chase on Saturday (only a mini but still) because I was on an adrenaline high I am an advocate of just buy the pictures, think they were £15 each for prints

    Newbury - parking/cafe/wifi suggestions

    Think you can also book a lunch table at Donnington Grove hotel, and there are (or used to be) some lovely walks around the estate.

    Newbury - parking/cafe/wifi suggestions

    There is a garden centre on the way into Thatcham from Newbury, not far from Donnington. I think it's Wyevale. A bit further out but the other side of Hungerford is Cobbs farm shop which has a lovely cafe.

    Horse Health Programme

    I do this for our 4, works out at about £40 a month for the 4 of them and covers yearly jabs, teeth and an annual health check. Also gives discount on vets fees and medication. I think i get good value for money from it.

    Abscess leading to bone infection, surgery the next step, any experiences?

    Hi! sorry to hear you may be going through surgery with your boy. Our lad did an 8 week box rest, lots of bandage changes which required sedation at first, but with hand grazing and short walks allowed, and to be honest I was dreading it as he has previously not done well when stabled, however...
