    First time XC with OTTB

    I get what your saying about being on trial and needing to see what he’s got but it all sounds a bit rushed to me, and I’m usually one for just getting on with things. It’s sounds like neither you or the horse have had any preparation, your going to arrive with 30 mins to your...

    Planning for stables- which are 20 years old...!

    Another that would be a bit miffed about your solicitors not picking this up. However if in fact there is something in your legal docs that proves they were signed off I’d look that out ASAP, go back to your solicitor and check with them. Otherwise if you have enough evidence to prove they have...

I’ve also just seen...

    Schooling in walk

    Yip as others above I do loads of work in walk, I can been known to do 15/20 mins of walk warm up before we even get into trot or canter. I find it the best way to really get my horse between the hand and leg. Trot work is so much more pleasurable once that’s been achieved.

    How quickly do horses lose fitness?

    This TBH I find my horse much easier to deal with and much more enjoyable to ride when they are in regular work, fit, regularly handled and have a job to do, whether that be hacking or competition. Mine is on individual daytime turnout as that’s what works best for her. I’m not...

    Nuumed closing down

    I’ve just ordered 3 to stock pile including their new dressage one with number pockets on both sides, hoping they come through ok. Hopefully by the time these wear out there will be something the same on the market again.

    Horses out on bridleway - what to do?

    I’d speak to the rights of way officer in the council before I spoke with the land owners direct, thats their job and you never know how you’d be received by the land owner really.

    Nuumed closing down
