I have a shires optimus york gp saddle and it fits well and is comfortable. also very easy to adjust

It's just called adult training camp and its based at Keysoe :) I've only met a couple of people through Facebook, so not completely ideal!

I'm off to Adult camp this week and I'm so excited but nervous at the same time! We have flatwork, polework/gridwork, Show jumping and Cross country on the programme and it will either make or break me! I've just got my confidence back jumping and I've never been xc before so I've put myself in...

I just don't like the hairs on my clothes for work :( on my casual stuff I'm not too fussed!

Ok, so looks like I'll be spending my evening hovering saddlecloths! haha

Does it work well?

Does anyone have an innovative way to wash saddlecloths? I'm off to Adult camp on Wednesday, and won't have time to get to my rug washing lady or a horse friendly laundrette and I'm not a massive fan of washing them in my washing machine! I have a "horse hair catching bag" but I still find 10000...

Snap. after being blinded for about 15 minutes, I have now learnt to "roll up" the end like a little plait!

Your ponies' mane is as long as mine! If continental work for you, I'll deffo give them a go!! Not too fussed about getting some for best - the only outing I have planned this year is our first ODE! (EEEEEEEEEEK) So Continental reins are probably a good shout! Thanks!

Your post made me cry! I know all too well where you're coming from that was me 18 months ago. That is a moment you'll look back on when you're having a bad day/week/month and the emotions that you'll relive will be enough to get out out of the rut. Onwards and Upwards

Hadn't thought of continental, thanks!

I have a dales x cob and he was a very long mane!! I usually plait it up in a running plait for schooling, but hacking out I tend to leave it "au natural". My rubber reins rub his mane, so I was wondering what people use/recommend to stop this. would plain leather or laced reins be better?

Hello! I was wondering if people who don't know Benn and I can see a difference in his schooling. I've been working really hard on rhythm and relaxing! The first video was taken on the 9th April 2014 and the second on 9th July 2014...

I don't think it's anything to do with A&I's nuts. As a horse owner you should have checked the bag or asked to see a nutritional breakdown in the store before recalculating a ration suitable to your horses' nutritional requirements.

I'm a woman, obviously it's my job to control children! as well as it's my job to make coffee and clean! Oh and speak only when I'm spoken to!
