    Recomendations for riding around East Kilbride area please.

    You would have been at Mid Drumloch around the same time I went for lessons, when Michelle owned it I think? In the era of Buttons, Croftie, Maggie & ginger! Not many places left to ride around EK now sadly. I moved to South Ayrshire last year & we're spoiled for choice now. Ingliston is...

    Gatehouse RXC1 wearers?

    Gatehouse RXC1 wearers?

    Thanks both. If I wasn't going for the RXC I'd just stick with the HS1. I've had CO before & loved my J3 but I don't know if I'd feel a bit nekkid going back after the HS1! I don't have anywhere local I can try on the RX without actually ordering it unfortunately.

    Well, that didn't go according to plan :(

    If it were me I'd give him the benefit of the doubt & a few easy days. Better to be over cautious for no reason than do any damage to the dumblood brain if he is sore.

    What can I do about poor quality Prolite boots?

    Either you got a sub standard pair or they have been used/abused in a way you would not expect. I have 2 pairs of pro lites, 1 pair I bought new & still look new 3 years on, the other I bought 2nd hand 5 years ago which look slightly more grey. Neither have frayed.

    Blair Horse Trials 2013

    Aww shucks, I think so but I'm biased, he did adapt very well for a townie :) All his friends are mocking him for sleeping in a horsebox, odd people, don't they know that's the norm?!

    Blair Horse Trials 2013

    We had a fab time. Tea stop at Measles en route, camping with team C, cheering on Team C, S-J, Quadro & all. Great fun catching up with friends, eating drinking & shopping. And my lovely OH survived his 1st Blair! :)
