Hi Can anyone tell me who the photographer was at Calmesden a couple of weeks ago? Thanks!

We have found a lovely new home for my daughters pony, he is a real star and they are so lucky to get him (imo!!). Now looking for a horse for my 14 year old daughter to start eventing on. We have 2 options, either an older PN type who can show her the ropes or a younger horse I can bring on...

Wonky pelvis is quite common to varying degrees according to my back lady - apparently about 80% are down on the left side, so similar to being right handed I suppose! - chiro should be able to help sort that out no problem, plus schooling exercises to build up that side once other problems...

Yep, agree - got one for my horsey and its really nice and comfy - puts you in a good dressage position without being too extreme. When I bought it saddler recommended it for a 'first time' dressage saddle as its not as cut back as some. I have a different dressage saddle for my other horse...

I have had Equimats for my 2 for 18 months - they are very light to lift and are thick and well cushioned - very pleased with them.

Ebbesbourne is a lovely event, very friendly people and good courses.... it is quite new and midweek so maybe why less ballotting? Larkhill is also an excellent event - can be a bit cold as its very exposed but rarely cancelled as ground is well drained. Its a bit of a hike from the lorry park...
