Thats awful, jump penalties is much worse on a record. It is not so much the actual 6 penalties but the principle that BE prides itself on the idea that there events are so good that it justifies the expensive entry fees and yet when you have a problem you cant even get anyone from the event...

Having just read the article in Eventing magazine re grassroots riders feeling the pinch and Paul Graham defending the high level of entry fees by suggesting that if people competed in each discipline separately it would cost far more (really?)and that in return you receive well organised...

I dont know how your vet has diagnosed this but, we have a horse who was diagnosed with scintigraphy with DDFT inflammation at the attachment to the pedal bone. After a total of 1 year of either rest of light work he was still intermittently lame. He had MRI about 6weeks ago and I was told that...

My daughter was in arena 1, did a beautiful test (I have the video to prove it) and got 39.5! The comments on the sheet were all negative except for my daughters riding mark which was 7 and said "purposefully ridden" that was the highlight. When I spoke to people in other arenas there were...

I sold our beloved little pony to what I believed was a brilliant local home, they said all the right things! Turns out they are not willing to work any problems through - easier to sell pony to any high bidder and lie if necessary to do so. They are a family that must be seen to be winning...

Lovely to hear how well your progressing - you are a very strong lady! All good luck and best wishes. X

[ QUOTE ] I stopped caring so much - I have never ridden better! LOL! [/ QUOTE ] I totally agree - I just take it as it comes - i'm an amateur rider, I dont have to earn a living from riding, I do it because I want to. If I cant enjoy it then I shouldnt do it! Imagine the pressure...

We were ballotted out of Burnham Market and about a month later I realised we hadnt had a refund - contacted the organisers and BDWP by e mail and was assured I had been refunded. I double checked and sure enough I hadnt. Again e mailed both organisers and BDWP - no contact from either of them...

There was a thread on competition riders a while ago about using thick household bleach - had been recommended by a good farrier to somebody to help harden the feet. I asked my farrier and he agreed - said that in his opinion the bleach will kill bacteria which get in the feet from standing in...

Can suggest a Falcon dressage - I have just changed a Falcon dressage for an Albion because the Falcon has very little knee roll - more like a show saddle but with a deeper seat. If you are interested I am about to put ours on e bay. It is 17" M. Private message me if you are interested.

Thanks to everybody -I feel positive again. Back and teeth were done when I first got him - there was a problem in the neck and he has definitely improved since then. He is so beautiful and has so much quality I would never have afforded him without his problems - goodness knows what happened...

Have a lovely problem horse -knew all about him when I bought him 6 months ago. Has a SJ problem and gets really really stressed and then panics. Has been going well but today he was terrible for no real reason. Can anyone give me some stories about horses they know that have come good with...

Thanks just bought a pair!

As per post really- have a horse with black legs who has some white hair scarring - very ugly - not my fault - any tips for dyeing them black. Thanks

I am trying to do my assignment but have to stop and have a quick look at HHF every half hour or so. The idea is to get it done so that I have more time to revise for imminent exams -yeah right - cant seem to function unless under extreme pressure! Can see some very sleepless nights looming!
