Hate big blocks , feel much more secure in saddle with no blocks! Might be because i have stupidly long legs too so pretty much no saddles fit me and puts my legs into a really un natural position. Also have to ride in my saddle with no blocks as my knee cap goes out of alignment if i dont as...

Yeah ive just become a member , waiting for my payment to clear so i can ring and ask them but i need to sort out an invoice for someone in the next few days :S . Ah okay i will probs go over that so will have to go trade eventually .

Hi Im just looking at going self employed and was just wondering if you needed to set it up as an actual business or you can just say that your self employed ie. the invoice just has your name at the top not an actual business name? Also im looking to do a bit of buying and selling and just...

Really sorry to hear that but unless you can give him a forever home until it becomes too painful for him I would pts. With loaning or giving away as companion you have no idea where he could end up and even if the people that buy him are lovely, they may have to give him up for whatever reason...

I used to do this for people , majority were word of mouth but i did advertise online and in a tackshop.

Antares are gorgeous but very pricey, CWD are nice too and a bit cheaper i think. Just ordered a tekna set as thought they looked a right bargain so glad to hear they're nice :)

My physio recommended swimming to improve my fitness for riding :)

Mine arent horse at all and when i was younger everything was a constant battle, i didnt get my first horse til i was 15 and they wouldnt take me to competitions until i was 18. It was only til i wanted it as a career and my dad saw the financial gains of buying and selling horses that they...

Think it matters more about how you ride than how tall you are , i used to ride for a dealer that sold jumping ponies and im nearly 6 foot but i ride very light and short. Have always felt more comfortably on ponies and much prefer jumping small short backed horses even though i look much better...

I bought a pair of konig leather gaiters and they are soooo smart, best competiton sort of gaiters ive seen and they even have little crowns on them :) dyon gaiters are also amazing , cant rate them enough !

Equiport sit nicely and dont slide back, the girth straps arent too bulky so i normally just tuck them under the saddle. Come in lots of pretty colours too :) !

pig out in the cafe , moan to my mum and send wingey texts to my trainer . lol once ive pulled myself together just try and end on some sort of good note by either popping the practise fence nicely , go in hc or try and get to trainers or another show soon as poss (obv not same day but a few...

You cant really say as obviously depends on ability and attitude of the horse. For a GP potential horse you could be paying SERIOUS money but for something thats going to be a good competitive amateur horse i would think about 15-20k :)

Yeah it was a really good experience , a lot of rubbish but a few quite smart horses. Just couldnt believe how cheap everything goes for !! Barely anything made over a grand. Was so tempted to buy this lovely 5 yo irish horse which only went for 1k , was sad to see such a nice horse go for such...

Kingsland but make sure its from the summer collection as the winter ones have a sort of fleecy lining to them
