Costs for aggregates, like everything else construction related, have sky rocketed - it could have easily gone up that much in 12 months! In addition to this, haulage costs have gone up.

Approx £250/week (perhaps +VAT) I expect. If you want lessons that will be additional

Hannah Doggett takes on sales livery. She is in Warrington area.

I am going through the same thing as you are - parallel lives! My horse is, luckily, liveried on a yard that specialises in rehabilitation and has some really knowledgeable staff to support us. We have four weeks of long reining, ground poles at walk, swimming (he's a super swimmer and doesn't...

I weight lift for this reason, and do pull ups. Nothing overly huge, pull ups with a band that supports half of my body weight and bench press 40kg. This allows my back muscles to work rather than becoming tight and weak because they are contracting, relaxing and stretching rather than just...

My horse loves his. He was quite tight in his poll all the time and it was recommended to me by a friend. Really noticed a difference within a fortnight from not pulling away when bridling to generally being still with his head whilst working, and concentrating more. I really wouldn't be...

N22 is quite nice.

I sent my five year old away and ended up getting allocated to a job near where he was (I work as a project manager in construction so move around quite a lot) and ended up staying for a year as it worked for us both. We've since left and his training hasn't gone backwards. It set us up for...

Thanks all. There is confidence that the outdoor is being built as they are doing it now (i.e. I visited with diggers, etc. working). However, what you're saying is only emphasising the concerns I have over distance. Plus the fact that he's settled and established in his herd, which is also a...

Thanks. I should have been clearer that yard 1 is where I am now. It's true that yard 2 is further away, and whilst I've travelled it a few times i am aware that the novelty may wear off once the honeymoon period is over. I drive a lot with work and so I don't usually think about it, but I do...

Hi all I'm usually very good at sorting my own decisions but this time I'm stumped. Perhaps it's lockdown fatigue, but I'd like your advice. I've been on a yard now for two years, but I'm getting a little down with facilities. It has an outdoor and off road hacking and fear that lockdown may...

Science Supplements FlexAbility Plus or Professional. Really rate their products.

I have Tech Venice and love them. I've fallen off a handful of times in them, including cantering whilst out hacking (damn pheasants jumping out of bushes into the path of a young pony!), and the release has never failed.

When the weather is cold it has the same inflammation impact on airways as asthma, albeit without mucus. That's why strenuous work in the cold damages horse airways, and it only needs to be about 5 degrees and at a canter for damage to occur. Given that it's been so cold then mild, it could be...
