    Lorry MOT

    Take it yourself (assuming you're female). I won't say why as it's very non-PC but our lorry mechanic suggested I take our lorry rather than my husband. I won't say any more than that and will let you work it out. It's really simple and they are so nice. If you don't understand what to do...

    Music for trot rhythm

    Just play video of her trotting on your phone whilst playing various tunes on a laptop/tablet (or whatever). It'll take hours/days and you'll trawl through hundreds of tunes but eventually you'll come up with some

    Le Mieux sheepskin half pad

    I have a 17.5" ideal Jessica on my 14.3hh mare, and the large was mahoosive ! I took my saddle with me when I went to buy the half pad so we tried several, with the saddle fitter. She agreed the medium was a far better fit than the large.

    Regumate . Do you need to feed at exactly the same time of day ?

    I don't think it makes a huge difference tbh. Mine gets her tea with her regumate anytime between about 5 to 8pm and I've never found it a problem.

    Moving to the countryside- tips needed!

    Sounds exciting but seriously, don't acquire loads of horses. Been there, done that. It's easy to do. Just stick with the bear minimum. Priorities for me taking on a property would be the roofs, soundlness of the buildings, gates and fences, electrics and plumbing. I'd get the chimney...

    Summer Music Festival - general consensus?

    I worked incredibly hard to qualify for this and sadly missed out qualifying by two places (judge at my last music test really slated us :-( ) But now having read feedback on FB pages it seems some people have been disappointed by the experience. Rosettes only to 6th place, no plaques, no BD...

    moving up from prelim to novice level dressage

    You've done prelim to death so absolutely move up. And you don't need to 'teach' counter canter as such. Just keep a little outside bend as you hit the straight, simples ! Medium trot is taking my cob a while to get her head round and we are working hard on it. It's not really established...
