    Welcome to HHO Towing Clinic

    My poor MUM has assured me she is happy to, she used to ferry my old pony and our old single trailer around when i was younger! Of course I would show my gratitude with all the red wine and cheese (after the driving of course!) I would like to stick the L plates on and have her as a passenger...

    Welcome to HHO Towing Clinic

    I do not. However the mother is indeed happy to play taxi a few outings next year until I finish university. I currently do a lot of motorway driving to uni so it's not very economical to fork out for a towing vehicle and to do my BE just yet. That can be on the agenda once I've graduated...

    Welcome to HHO Towing Clinic

    Hi there Rog! I haven't been active on this forum in ages, but have recently purchased a trailer. My lovely boyfriend has his B+E and drives his defender 110 so no problems when he's available. However, he is due to join the marines in September! Well obviously with him being away I will have...

    Royal Greenwich Equestrian Centre

    I was hopeful they would take liveries, not that I would move my boy any time soon. Fingers crossed one day! My OH is in Charlton so would be perfect for the future.

    warm up arenas

    Warm up arenas are a scary place for us whether or not there are inconsiderate riders! Last time there was only one other horse and his stable mate(we were there super early for this very reason) and we lasted all of about 5 mins before he got wound up by the 'stranger' and we decided to call it...

    "Horsey people" that havent got a clue!

    These have made me laugh. But it is very true that you have to start somewhere. I've always gone by the rule that unless I know something for sure, I just ask. My fellow livery is always more than happy to answer any questions I have-- it always saves me from potential dangerous/embarrassing...

    Appleby Fair

    From what I see, just because your great grand dad Jimmy or whoever was, was a traveller does not make yourself one. Particularly if you're nicking anything and everything, abusing your horses, causing fights and displaying other aspects of anti-social behaviour to the extent that other...

    A Levels; to those who didn't do so well..

    All through my A Levels I had no idea what I wanted to do and didn't want to go to uni, so I wasn't very motivated. I got an A* in photography, C in English lit and D in Drama. I'm sure Drama teacher would say I put too much time into Photography-- I even got full marks for my final year. As you...

    I am sure this has been covered many times... How much do you pay for a set of shoes?

    £55 full set, £35 for fronts and trim of back feet. If I had to pay £100 I would be going barefoot, particularly as mine is fairly hardy so could live without.

    Feeling anxious and uneasy......is it me or is this all a bit odd?

    Been following this thread, hope it all works out. I echo everyone else. Hopefully they are just scatty. :)

    Sore losers

    You also get this from those who fail their driving tests. Being 19, I've heard many of my friends going 'I clipped that wing mirror because there wasn't enough room' or 'My examiner was a miserable old man who didn't like me and that was why I go 15 minors', or even 'that's not a major, it's a...

    How long did it take to find your perfect horse?

    Joe was the first I tried. He fitted the bill and was on budget at 1000. For that he was/still is green and learning. But the main thing was that he had potential and was safe. No major quirks or vices, just inexperienced. It's hard work, but every day he's making huge improvements and is...

    In hand competition pony!

    Thank you Connie. It seems the only gloves I can find in my glove stash are garish 'canary' ones? Eurgh. I will purchase a new white pair. Here's a picture for those interested in his feathers-
