I use a Neue Schule pelham with Waterford mouthpiece. At home schooling etc, I use a hanging cheek snaffle and he's lovely. But jumping and hacking this works much better, although he's still really really strong. As Pearlsaginger says, I also use two reins and I don't use roundings for...

They close at 11pm so all good! Makes you laugh though, the website gives the opening times and then there's a disclaimer underneath that says to check first by phoning as the opening times are likely to change. Unfortunately they don't give a phone number!

Yes, I have insurance and have reported the matter to them. I just rang the police but have been told I need to go in person to the police station as this is classed as a road traffic accident. Unfortunately, all our local police stations are closed on a Monday so I'll get to the nearest one...

Two friends and I were riding up a narrow lane (not wide enough for two cars to pass at once) and a car decided to try and pass us, not waiting for a passing place. I was at the front so she went past two horses before she got to me (we were riding single file). I put my schooling whip over to...

I like the traditional look with a bit of modern help with boots etc. All my tack is leather and my leather headcollar was dragged out of the loft when I bought my new horse after an 18 year non-horse-owning gap. Think I'd be carted from here to next week without my grakle though! :)

Anyone had any experience of a Neue Schule bit breaking? I ride in a Pelham with Waterford mouthpiece. My friend and I had stopped on a hack and she was holding both horses. My horse pulled one way and hers the other. Her reins snapped but my bit broke on the Pelham cheek piece where the...

I have a very strong showjumper who used to be in a Cheltenham Gag. I rang Neue Schule's advice line and they recommended their pelham with a waterford mouthpiece. They also recommended roundings for jumping, but he's happier and goes better without. He's still very strong, but we have more...

Definitely complain. I had a pair of Hunter wellies that split and leaked in about 10 months. I took them back, got a new pair and then six months later, same thing happened again. Went and complained again and got another pair. Have to admit though, I gave up when the third pair went!!!
