Admittedly I am more of a lurker than a poster on here (I think my average is one post every six months - lazy typist!), but thought I needed to set the record straight having spoke to Laura and her connections before and after the puissance. Laura did not think that Roller Coaster had...

I reckon Nick and Ben are certainties, but looking at the results from the Nations Cup and grand prix in Rotterdam, which I think would have been used to decide the last two places and reserve, I think Scott and Peter, with Tina in reserve

I am surprised nobody has mentioned that Peter Charles and Pom D'ami aren't on the team. They were easily the best performers on Nations Cup teams this season, four fences in 12 rounds I read in a few reports on Hickstead. It would seem that maybe this really is a PR exercise or just to give...

I don't post on here very often and I am certainly no authority on breeding. However, I do have experience of running equestrian and non-equestrian events and have been to my fair share of competitions, parades, demos and fairs. I went to the expo yesterday, primarily to see a friend who was...

Hi, Does anyone know what time the show jumping classes at Kent are tomorrow and if they are for decent money? I know there's a trial at the weekend, but can only make it tomorrow. Thanks

I know a few. Robert Smith won the big class with Vangelis, Guy Williams second with Torinto and Joe Whitaker third with Kool Kaiser. Joe won the 1.30m with Mikado. Shane Breen and Dorada beat Laura Renwick and Beluga in the knockout.

It's "you cannot call yourself a rider until you have fallen seven times". It means that you need to have bad experiences in order to learn and become good at what you do (not just horse things).

By not buying equestrian mags and just reading them in the supermarket, are we not kind of shooting ourselves in the foot? If sales drop, mags won't have the money to run big reports from the shows we're at. If people from one discipline or another aren't buying the mag, why should they run...

Last year it wasn't a Whitaker first and second, William won with Leonardo and Dale Burnham was second with Cointreau Z, both made the last round but Dale had it down. Sorry, but I have to disagree about the number of starters. I think it was a nice number, given that it nearly always goes to...

I'm new here, so hello everyone! I'd love to see more show jumping on TV, but the PR machines behind football, rugby, cricket, F1 etc are well oiled and powerful. I know a lot of horse shows have to pay for their TV coverage, and in the current climate, particularly with sponsorship losses...
