    Roland Tong/ Hannah Biggs - any experiences of lessons?

    Really sorry but I dont have any experience with Roland.. However: I really rate Hannah.. She is incredibly kind and gives extremely sound advice. It's also fantastic that she is so flexible so she was able to fit in around my very hectic school commitments. I would definitely recommend her...

    Medicating joints?

    Yep, my Young Riders event horse had her hocks done when she was 13. Made a huge difference!!

    In Defence of Ollie Townend

    I am just so glad that I did not ride around Badminton on Sunday!! If I had, who KNOWS what cruel words would have been written?! It must be absolutely heartbreaking for the rider, the owner and all connections involved to stumble across such critical, assuming and unfriendly words. (very...

    Coleman Croft Saddlery. HELP!

    Just a warning to everyone.... Still no magennis. I noticed that the coleman croft web page has the BETA stamp of approval, and gave them a ring. Apparently they have sent coleman croft numerous "cease and desist" orders, but have had no answer- phone or email since before christmas. It...

    Coleman Croft Saddlery. HELP!

    Hello everyone!! I was just wondering whether anyone had had prior experience of coleman croft saddlery? I ordered a magennis snaffle from them yesterday, and paid £12.50 for next day delivery. Am yet to have got anything through in the post, and have tried ringing and ringing on this...

    Hello All, Were off to the emerald isle! Hopefully we will be attending the Goresbridge May Sports Horse Sale which is very exciting..... I am looking for a classy little 4 year old someone, to bring home who will hopefully, very slowly become my hunter for special upcountry days. Then...

    Nathaniel underwood saddle fitter

    Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole! Talks a very convincing talk if you are not the most knowledgeable person about saddle fitting. Quite naughty- have heard of some very dodgy things about him, and have experienced it first hand (at our expense).

    Can I jump in?-Sports Psychology/Advice...

    I totally sympathise with your situation as someone who has gone through the whole junior system, and am now in Young Riders. Your situation sounds very similar to mine- I am extremely consiencious, verging on a perfectionist. I was always happy doing relitively well, until I won the first...

    Tweed Jackets

    Alexander James are my absolute favourites!! Ive got one which has a very pretty slight duck egg blue bit in the tweed, which is often admired, both showing, hunting and eventing. They will also use your own tweed if you can supply one you like!

    If you were to go for INTENSIVE TRAINING who would you go to? EVENTING AND DRESSAGE

    Rodney Powell. He is incredible at making a big impression in a short time. Tom McEwen is his protege- check out his results (or watch the way he rides- almost identical!) Very impressive jockey.... He always leaves you with masses to think about- I always used to go there for a couple of...

    Eventing WP positions - who would you write to

    Rodney Powell! definitely recommend. Seriously excellent 1 to 1 treatment, as he never takes on too many horses, and they are all really quality. He is a mega perfectionist, so she will learn unbelievable levels of turnout and horsecare, and would get to go to events in a rather snazzy lorry...
