    Pregnant and just want to compete!

    Just carry on, I rode my eventer up until I was 8 months pregnant, granted I didn't jump but was still having full on flat work lessons, I also boxed him out for my trainer to jump. There's always a mixed response to riding whilst pregnant. :-)

    Advertising on side of horse box?

    No you don't I'm afraid, I have a 7.5ton horsebox with my company name on it (we are in the motor trade) as long as it it just for your horses that you are ferrying around then to have your name on the side is fine and you don't need an "o" licence either

    Performance Leverage Reduction (PLR) shoes

    Sorry pressed wrong button, personally knowing what I do now I would medicate first over the shoes, I don't think the shoes on there own is enough. The shoes are expensive £90 for just 2 fronts. The only thing with the plrs is because they are so soft you will see where the horse likes to...
