    Scariest thing you have heard a person say that owns horses

    "I dont want to ride another horse as 'X' (retired horse) will see me and would be upset." I kid you not.

    ex riding school pony- advice please

    My novicey 12 yr daughter rides Charlie, but I walk/cycle out with her and take a lead rope just in case. She has learned that if he stops at something, just to sit quiet and she can encourage him most times out of it on her own. If not, Im there to help. The more she does it, the more she...

    Ohb dear lordy i just got sacked :O

    It doesnt sound fair no, but TBH if you have worked for 3 years for them with no contract, & not paying the deductions you should be, then its tough luck really! Harsh but true. I hope you get a better job soon.

    Just Togs Mudruckers - how have yours faired?

    My Husband had some last December, heavily worn all year as he works on a stud, and they split just recently. They are really comfy and although he complains that they dont grip well on mud and ice I think they have lasted OK. We do expect his to only last 1 year TBH.
