Yes, and a good one

Depends exactly what you want, what you have done and what level you are riding at now. You can either go to a yard (but you would need to take your own horse to get the best from it), and hope to get proper training rather than just a glorified groom who gets to ride to excersise. Another...

Well done The picture is almost a dot on my screen, so cannot see it but from the comments he sounds super

I don't know why it was, I had a price range, and most of the comparable geldings were more than I could pay, the ones that I did try were certainly lower quality than the mares were. Its possible it was just the market at the time, I really don't know why it was

I get on well with both, when I was looking to buy I didn't care which I got but ended up with a mare as they are cheaper, and there was something about her that said 'buy me' I am much more interested in temperament than the sex of the horse, but if you have a mare that wants to work for you...

I use mostly Pikeur, but I only buy them when they are at the price I want to pay, otherwise they are way over my budget!!! I usually pay about £40 a pair, but patience is needed They last ages and have a lot of different fittings, I use them everyday as well. Others I use are Gorringe, and...

Very interesting article, I have not had mine done as I wanted to wait for feedback, and had read that horses could still carry it, and that it would not necessarily prevent the horse getting the disease. Looks as if I may have done the right thing and saved a lot of money as well.

Like you I would hack to shows do showing, gymkhana, jumping or go to a pony club rally etc and hack home again. If there was a 'busy' crossing or right turn on an A road or dual carrigway there would have been an adult there for safety. Ride bareback as it saved tack cleaning around the...

May only be 4 now, but will be 11 in 2012...........

Best way is to arrange it through a shipping agent, as they get the best freight prices and make sure that you have the correct health papers etc. They also have agents at ports and airports in case of customs problems. Last time we sent horses to the states there were blood tests to do as...

aaah that explains the question!! I thought you were thinking about putting your mare to him He looks so much better in the picture of him in this thread, easy to see why you liked him so much. It will be interesting to see how your mare turns out.

Can I join the club, narrow Coleman Croft - cannot find anyone for it looks like there are no narrow dressij horses anymore, and I guarantee all our saddles are like armchairs to ride in.

*Innocently* Oh dear KJJ, thats a nasty cough, have you tried Benylin
