I forked out £74 recently for a vet to come and do a blood test - blood test was free so the cost was only call out and storing the blood! £74! :(:( Made me double check that my first aid kit was all up to date and fully stocked, as the cost would definitely make me think twice calling the vet...

Couldn't have come at a better time! Thank you so much :)

Gorgeous kit, but not understanding any German I have no idea whether they'd post to the UK or not!

That was really interesting - thanks for posting.

I'm glad other people have said it's a TV - I thought the edging around the bottom of the photograph was one of those brown and gold cardboard frames you get with professional photos and was really wondering what kind of angle you'd have to hold the original photo at to end up with the second...

Ha, I like this. I was always told to 'make the right thing easy, the wrong thing difficult'. When any horse/pony I ride is being difficult this reminds me to focus on being positive and making it easy for them to do the right thing, rather than getting all defensive and only...

I think you mean Star Andalusians?

My friend swears by "Schooling Exercises in Hand: Working Towards Suppleness and Confidence" (yes... I copy and pasted that!) by Oliver Hilberger. Here it is on Amazon. Not read it myself but had a flick through her copy and it does seem good.

Brilliant - thanks so much Vanner! Have heard about SSS before but didn't know how to make it up - have stocked up now it's half price and will be following your mixture soon as it arrives! (Plus, just HAD to treat myself to a new pink nail varnish to take me over the £20 to get free shipping... :D)

What a lovely pair of horses - she looks beautiful in that second picture especially. :) AND gorgeous stables - I love that kind of set up. Glad Mollie is so happy at her new yard :):)

Haha Gala your intro made me laugh! You sound just like a fairy godmother... But a bit far away for me :( Good luck finding something.

5'6'' and weigh 51kg (not sure what that is in stone but I'm not really fat or thin) and own/regularly ride ponies and horses from 13.2hh to 16.3hh.

Oh yes! Was trying to work out the other day whether I could afford a cleaner or not. Should start playing the lottery really.

I'm a big fan of blues in a variety of shades, plus browns and sandy/gold colours. Green can be lovely too. I'm sure if you search for 'matchy matchy' threads you will get plenty of ideas! Nikkimariet and Prince33Sp4rkle over in Competition Riders have bays with the most amazing...

Typically, this site has every size but yours... But thought I'd share anyway as it depends if you could bear to go up or down a size! Price is listed at £75... not sure if that is too good to be true though! Don't know the website and never used them before, but if they're genuine that's a...
