Omg I have never come across anyone else who remembers this!! It was a real favourite when I was little. I used to get a box every Christmas, they seems so special wrapped in silver paper. I’m so sad they stopped making it.

My boy had half his willie removed as he had one on the end of it. He was 22 when it was removed, was back in full work pretty much as soon as it healed. That was 2 years ago. The vet did say it may reoccur, although the margins were clear, Hopefully not for some years. It was all covered by the...

Anyone can jump in the club classes, whether you are BS registered, club registered or not registered at all. Being club registered just means you are eligible to earn points for going dc / placings.

She’s gorgeous! I grew up in the Middle East in the 1980’s and was lucky enough to ride an Arab mare who looked very similar. I don’t remember any of the horses out there looking as extreme as some of those you see around now!

I remember Ponies Plot! Two of the ponies went to completely the wrong children but the ponies engineered swapping riders at a camp didn’t they? And the children ended up making it a permanent swap as they were so happy! So many memories - I love reading and was lucky enough to have owned so...

I found this with the silicone ones. Very uncomfortable! I like suede seats - enough grip so I don’t slide but I don’t feel glued to the saddle!

Yep me too. My alarm goes on the morning and I wonder why I’m bothering. Dither all the way to the venue. Panic walking the course. Get on warm up and have a great time. Then drive home buzzing with how fun it was making plans and goals. Then somehow in the days that follow I revert to dithery...

I’m more amateur than you and I have a blonde ponytail too!

With it being an elderly box it’s probably worth asking someone in the know how easy it is to get parts. I knew someone who had an older box they ended up having to scrap due to being unable to source some kind of widget that had broken. I can’t remember what it was but seemed a shame as the...

It wouldn’t be for me as I need to click with a horse - it would be too much of a risk that it wasn’t quite right for me (through no fault of its own - I’m just really fussy!).

My old boy has a map in his head of all the lanes around here. We often let him choose the route - each time he takes us somewhere different circular route so it’s as though he leaves the yard with a plan in his head!

Oh lovely so he’s a proper long standing member of the family too. I’ve had mine for 17 years - longer than my husband!

Fantastic! Happy birthday for yesterday. How long have you had him for?

Last season aged 22 my oldie won the BS club leagues for our region at 70 and 80cm. This year he’s still jumping and doing everything he was doing 10 years ago but I’ve made the decision not to compete him as much and to stick to lower heights, hopefully so he continues to have fun for years...

I’ve seen a few truely awful ones, the worst being an 80cm cricklands qualifier where there was a cross pole where you had to land then do a handbreak turn to a triple bar, land from the triple bar and within 2 strides turn 90 degrees to get to a stile. Also there was a double which walked 6.5...
