I’ve had a couple of those lightweight polyester combos similar to the HKM one Spirit7 has recommended and found them very good. One was an Equitheme and the other some generic brand. Much less expensive than a Boett and wash and dry like a dream. You do need to scrunchie up the neck and pull it...

The physical shop is horsey heaven.

I echo what others have said. Move yards. It’s closer to home, your daughter has friends there to encourage and support and have fun with. The present yard owner sounds lovely. She will understand.

I had two ID’s I bought as weanlings and kept here until they were four. They lived out during the summer and could come and go from their stables where they had beds and hay as they pleased in the winter. They were handled daily and expected to be polite. If it was cold and/or wet they wore...

Has the government committed to banning trail hunting this parliamentary session as stated in their manifesto? I couldn’t see anything about this in the summaries of the King’s Speech I’ve read. Does parliament enact laws that aren’t included in the King’s Speech?

How did you get on in your lesson P0ny Lover?

Every spring and early summer my little farm transforms into an aviary. I can’t go into the stables without starlings screaming at me. I can’t go into the hay shed without swallows getting all extra. I can’t use my show jumps because there are swifts in the barn where I store them. I can’t pull...

I’ve never towed, only owned and driven a 3.5 and 7.5 tonne lorry, but I’m going to buy a trailer soon. I’ll be booking lessons because I absolutely want to know what to do if things go egg shaped like if the trailer starts to weave.
