That was really interesting, thank you.

Hi guys I have just been diagnosed with Reynolds disease and have been told I need to get myself better gloves for both riding and general use. I have to admit I'm quite fussy about gloves so can anyone suggest ones that are both thin and warm? Although I don't want to spend a complete...

I also do everything in a double bridle as my horse is by far happier in this than anything else. For xc I tape the ends on either side of the buckle and again at the point the rubber starts. (I use rubber reins on bradoon and thin leather ones on weymouth). Touch wood I've never had a major...

Does anyone have/had one? I'm watching one on e-bay although really not a fan of the thought of buying a saddle from e-bay. I've got a welsh cross so he's a wide to xw with big shoulders and a short back. Just wondered what peoples thoughts on them are. Thanks

Thank you for your replies everyone, I knew that there was going to be no magic fix. I will call the insurance company and vet in the morning and get the ball rolling. Thank you for the support.

He's 95% fine with other dogs. Has always been a bit stroppy with Mum's dog as he adores her so I'm thinking it's jealousy. They walk together fine every morning and he's fine when they meet other dogs on the walk, the odd growl but nothing major. He's entire but the vet has said that the...

Hi everyone I'm a first timer in the dogs section so first of all hello to you all. I am having issues with my dog and I am at my wits end so am desperately looking for some inspiration. I will give you a bit of background information as I think it is all pertanent to my current...

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! Lx

Hey everyone. The realities of winter without my 4x4 hit home today after my taps froze for the first time. My horses are down a farm road from the main yard as I have a field and a barn to myself. I ended up lugging 4 water containers which I shattered after doing! This is all very well...

Hi What size feet have you got? I have a beautiful pair of new HKM leather ones on e-bay just now that are a 39 (about a 5.5) and have a 16" calf with a starting price of £55 (RRP of £140!). I'm selling off my stock from my shop that I shut. I'm lovelylisa1401 if you want to have a look, I...

Nothing to add but I'm SSSOOO glad HH is feeling better! I bet she can't believe that you are forcing her to do something she doesn't like and you're not even giving her the pleasure of jumping afterwards - she probably thinks you're a bit stupid just now and is just trying to take matters into...

Really sorry to say that my experience is similar to above. My horse wouldn't stop bucking or bolting and had developed a hyperactive gait with his back legs. He had the scan and he was found to have 'hot spots' behind his withers, in both hocks and his sacreallic joint. There was no way he was...

I actually have one of the trial flair saddles and it's still going strong. I think they are marmite. I like mine and so did the horse, he was broken in it and really struggled when I put a flocked saddle on him. The downside is if your horse has a big trot it can make it harder to do sitting to!

No idea re the mix but laying concrete is great fun! I left horse shoes, my name, footprints, hand prints..... I was really upset when me moved! Be warned though, however you decorate it, it will be there for a long time - I'm now a (trying to be grown up) accountant and a potential client...
