Oh dear...I do feel your pain...mostly because as I write this I am recovering from my second operation on my arm 5 days ago. 2 years ago I got kicked in my arm. I didn't think it was so bad so I left it...8days later it still hurt so I went to hospital and found out it was broken. They put me...

I'm having exactly the same issue. Sitting trot is my nemesis and it's really depressing me. I'm better if I just forget about the stirrups and let them flap about or if I ride with no stirrups at all. Try put it all together and its a joke! I also fall apart with lateral work. I also ride in a...

Long boot-what do people wear? I always thought Brogini was considered a 'posh' brand but they seem to be going quite cheaply. Are they not that that great? By contrast are Konigs worth the extortionate amount of money and if so why? What sets them apart? And where does Ariat sit in...

Crumbs...REALLY??? I think I might reserve that for a lottery win or when I qualify for the Nationals or something. Bit beyond my budget but I must say it really does look wonderful!

Really nice...is it terribly expensive to do?

He looks a sexy beast! I know how you feel though...I competed this weekend for the first time in 8 years (although I did 1 intro test around 4 years ago) on a pony I've on,y been riding for just over 2 months who hasn't been out in years cos he's a bit bonkers! He behaved like a saint. Did...

In this weeks H&H in the dressage round up there is a pic if Emma Leech wearing a really pretty jacket with dashes of pink. Does anyone know where you can get the jacket from?

I think it might only be on Horse & Country TV

GG you're a star...but you might need to lock up your bike...I'm a biker too!

I'm a bit behind this thread but was searching for the same thing, but as I'm horseless preferably somewhere that had schoolmasters. A note on Dovecote...I've known Sam for nearly 10 years and he's the best trainer I've ever had. I've trained with lots of people since leaving his yard and I...

Is anyone actually going? I don't often go to these things but I really wanted to go to this. My research however has shown that going direct to Caen is £462!!! We could go Dover to Calais and that adds 5hours travel on EACH WAY! They don't make it easy!

Great stuff...thank you so much!

It's actually a really interesting topic and BS has some good points, along with other posters. Perhaps though a fresh thread should be started asking what is expected from a sharer so that this thread isn't derailed. I personally think that £200 is excessive and I've kept horses for...

I'm very rusty...so I'd probably be starting out around Medium. Ideally want someone that can come to the yard really. Can travel I think but if I do that then I'd probably be travelling to my preferred trainers, so having someone come to the yard is the ideal.

Hi all, Been a little while since I was around the horsey scene following the sale of both my horses. I've recently moved to Henley and, by the grace of god, landed myself a fantastic pony to ride. He's an old boy at 18, but has competed at advanced level and clearly knows his stuff. I don't...
