I have just printed off my horse's record in PDF format from the BSJA website (took me a while to figure out how to do this!) Anyway, I was surprised to find that in the "Winnings Table" the points in the "Total" column have been printed in reverse chronological order to the rest of the...

Thanks for your replies. My rider knew that my horse's winnings were close to the limit for the competition we entered and that is why he contacted the BSJA to confirm eligibility, which seems fair......for those of you who keep accurate running records of your own it I suspect that you...

I dont want to buy the horse on the chance that he might be ok on hard feed....should I get the current owner to feed him correctly and then see what he is like?

I am looking at a horse to buy who has nice moves but is very laid back to the point of being half asleep....takes a lot of leg to get him moving...once he is going, he feels good to ride. His canter is just lovely...really collected. At the moment, he is being fed just grass (turned out 24...
