I'm looking for advice/recommendations on solo riding holidays. It would ideally be this month as I've got some holiday time booked out. I'm thinking perhaps Eastern Europe or Spain/Portugal would be good options. Any thoughts? One extremely important caveat is there would have to be high...

Just to clarify on some assumptions here, I have spoken to the horses owner about the incident but plan to do so again. Preferably when I next go down. Other incidents I'm aware of is him breaking into another horses field, and him being left out overnight because he's been too difficult to get...

Good replies and responses to my questions, thanks! I'll try and address some of the questions... Field / routine etc. Part of my frustration is I don't have much control over this. For instance, the nappy behavior while leading in. I may easily solve this by hanging a hay nay at his tying...

At the moment I'm sharing a slightly interesting horse, and wonder what peoples thoughts are. Big, grey 17.2 ID. 12 Y/O. He's a very elegant horse, and I've been with him for a bit over a month now. I'm probably jumping the gun a bit, but I don't feel as if I'm getting that connection with him...

Hi all, I have a history of asking difficult questions, so here's another one for the finest minds! Okay, since my profession gives me flexibility time wise, occasionally on the local FB horse group I offer help between the days in not working. Last time round I got lots of responses. Even...

Wow - some really good suggestions here. Basically, answered a lot of what I was wondering. Moving on from a general question, I suppose variables play the most important role here. So I'll put some specifics on my situation. I put a posting up on an internet group (don't want to be too...

Hi everyone, just thought I'd get some second opinion here. Here's a tricky one for me, I've had lots of offers to ride peoples horses but at what point are they doing you a favor (giving you something to have fun and ride when you don't have your own) or are you doing THEM a favor by working...

Oh thanks, mind telling me a bit more? I'm based on the western side of Horley so I'm assuming I may be quite close. Interestingly enough, despite the convenience of FB I've found the old fashioned tack shop small ads to be really good. Don't suppose anyone can make any recommendations on...

Oh, really?! Mmm, it's like it disapeared off the face of, well...facebook :) Can I ask a favor....Would you kindly ask on my behalf. Feel free to copy / paste from my post here! Would be much appreciated... OK thanks. THe other day I noticed another place just outside Crawley, on the north...

Hi folks! Just wondering if anyone can recommend any horse communities in the area? Ages ago I used to be on the Surrey Horse and Pony FB group. Moved away from the area and am now back in the area due to work. However, the group I recall seems to have simply vanished, I can't find them...

Just wondering how people manage it! They must do it somehow. Do correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems the only way it can be done is if you've got sharers galore, full livery, space to keep a horse at home, or your yard is minutes away and or you can get very good assistance. Especially in the...

Hi GG, I know it's been a little while, but I wanted to let you know I'm still interested in your offer! Cheers, MMM

Thanks! I have been on that FB regularly and been posting a few times asking about shares, where to look and about the best shops to look at ads but have had generally no replies! I have been doing very regular sweep looking for suitable arrangements alas to no avail. If there's one you've seen...

Hi Gang Just wondering if I could get some pointers out here! I'm completely new to this town, having just moved out this way for work. But I still have a huge hole my life. Something horsey. Despite Cheltenham seemingly being very horsey, apparently shares are very far and few in between? I...
