Really glad I decided not to go to the dressage freestyle like I normally do, I don’t think I could stand to see the public hero worship of CDJ like nothing ever happened. For me, it’s fundamentally changed how I view the sport after years of dressage training and spectating. When I do...

I use progressive Earth lami balancer, and use their vitamin forage supplement too because mine has ems, Cushings and is on an all soaked hay diet. He looks very well on these at 25 and I know he’s not missing out on anything with such a restricted diet. I mix the powder in some soaked high...

50g rugs are great, wish I’d got one years ago. I have a 50g amigo and it’s perfect for those horrible wet and windy days where it’s still mild (mine is fully clipped)

Really really sad news, I was so lucky to get to see both of them in their peak at London 2012 and I’ll never forget that day. CH has never done anything to make me question whether he would put the horses first, so I won’t speculate. 23 and 25 for horses that competed at that level is probably...

Connie prices are mad now. I don’t want another one because no connie would ever live up to my much missed and practically perfect Connie but even if I wanted to I couldn’t. When I bought him 13 years ago it was £8.5k for a 10 year old with excellent breeding, who had been around WH tracks at...

Fabulous victory for Ros, she really makes it look smooth and easy, the partnership is very special. Generally I feel like the quality of the field has really diminished over the last few years…. So few European riders now attend, it feels much more limited to the Brits, New Zealanders/Aussies...

I’ve always fancied having a few lessons on a trained western horse, as I’ve never ridden western before and it looks fun. Does anyone know of any decent places with well trained horses in southern England? Don’t mind travelling for the right place, I’m not a beginner and would want a reasonably...

My EMS/cushings boy has had lami a few times and my treatment is always the same: immediate box rest on a very thick bed, no movement as far as possible, anti inflammatories to control pain and heart bars if needed to support feet. Box rest until sound on a hard surface. He’s recovered from all...

My Welsh A LOVES big horses. The bigger the better! He was great at cozying up to a big placid horse, annoying another horse and then hiding behind his enormous friend. Never came to any harm, he was an excellent companion to my 14.2hh connie for years too.

It would be helpful to know which horse brands are using parent income accounts to sell their products, and which accounts they use. It’s all publicly available, it would just be handy to know who we need to pressure/contact/boycott!

Under 16s should be banned from having public social media accounts or a public social media presence, including monetised content. It’s absurd how many z-list ‘celebrities’ share every detail of their child’s private life on their own public Instagram to make a quick buck. By all means share...

Nothing more to say other than I’m so sorry you are experiencing this pain. It’s been four years for me, and if I think about it for too long I start crying again. We take on this pain so they don’t have to, it’s the last thing we can do for them. Allow yourself to feel the grief, but don’t feel...

I have a 50g amigo for my Welsh, it has liner attachments and is very waterproof.

Only one that was effective for me was NAF respirator boost (liquid) at a high dose, combined with vitamin e (natural powder) in usual feeds

Beautiful! Congratulations! I had my basically white Connemara for 9 years including lots of competing in winter. Things that worked: Snuggy hood head plus full neck rug plus tail bag in winter Proper purple shampoo, blue just does not cut it Wash tail and stains once a week, if you let the...
