    How do you tell your yard owner you are leaving?

    I would really agree that honesty is the best policy. Honesty being that you want better facilities to enjoy your horse and to achieve what you want to achieve. As a horse owner I’m sure they will be able to appreciate that. They may well be happy for example to just hack but presumably they...

    Do you listen to Podcasts?

    No horsey suggestions but I’ve just finished listening to More Perfect. It’s about the Supreme Court but don’t let that put you off, it’s really interesting and very well produced. And as no one has mentioned it yet ‘my dad wrote a porno’ will have you laughing out loud. On a Crowded train...

    Free Rein riding holidays

    I did a four day unguided ride and it was great. The location is lovely, and accommodation along the way is always friendly and cosy. Horses are well schooled but not riding school plods. Would definitely recommend to anyone

    Advice needed - could this work??

    Alas not. To be honest he’s a hairy cob and we rarely leave the yard so had been no need! I’ve been trying to train myself not to buy unnecessary stuff which has now left me in this predicament!

    Advice needed - could this work??

    There isn’t electricity at the yard unfortunately though to be honest the doofus has enough trouble with spray bottles let alone devil electronics! And with the run up to the dreaded day I don’t think I’ll have a chance to go buy chalk (didn’t buy this originally as thought it’d just turn to...

    Advice needed - could this work??

    Needing to wash the beasts feathers in preparation for Boxing Day. Want to dry them quickly but no where near me sells wood flour. Could I use clean actived wood pellets? Am I being silly in thinking they’re basically the same stuff?

    Cost of having someone exercise your horse?

    Thanks all. It seems it’s probably about right if a tad expensive. I wonder if there’s a deal to be done for a longer term arrangement for the next three months. Guess asking won’t hurt?

    Cost of having someone exercise your horse?

    Okay gunna keep this short as feel I have a tendency to ramble on these posts. How much would you look at/ be willing to pay someone to come exercise your horse? Not talking about a ‘professional’ I.e a professional rider or instructor, more someone who is competent paid sharer as such. New...

    Because it makes me smile...

    I'm sure it's been done before but which pictures of your horse make you smile every time? This is mine because in my simple brain it shows what we could achieve if I learn which buttons to push plus I think he looks simply stunning (he was trying to intimidate some highland coos in the next...
