In a few weeks I am meant to be sharing a horse with someone else (who I do not know) and I am really not looking forward to it. I can only imagine bad things about it, it just sounds difficult but at the moment it's the only option I have. What are other peoples experiences with sharing a...
i have completed my benetton blue collection so want to start a new one! what colours look good on bay horses? (le mieux please!) i will insert a photo of my boy!
I just recently bought an 8yo tb mare who I hope to make into a jumper, but she is very nervous and spooky. I know that alot of it comes with age but jumpers have to brave and I'm worried that if I took her to a show she would just refuse and spook at everuthing. Will she always be like this or...
i am looking at a show in a few weeks at arena uk (it would be my first overnight show) and was wondering if anyone could explain to me what a 'hook up' is? i was looking on the website and there is temporary stables and 'hook ups' but am not sure what to go for?
I am going to a New Forest and Connemara auction tomorrow and am hoping to pick up something I can bring on. Obviously you don't get to see the horses being ridden or try them out and can only go off what is being said, so what should I look for in a pony that could indicate they might be a good...

It always infuriates me when people say riding isn't a sport but today I was definitely more than angry. Today I had a conversation with a few people (both of which were teen boys) where they basically continued to tell me how riding was easy and how horses served no purpose and are useless. I...
Does anyone know any websites or places that sell cheap/affordable show jumps? We really need some new show jumps but everywhere I've looked its been around £70 for a wing, £30 for a pole and £300 for a full jump. I just really don't want to spend this much money when I know they will probably...
A lot of the time when I am jumping my pony he tends to get in very deep to jumps. We'll be cantering at a jump and I will see the stride and take off point but he will sometimes add in another whole stride or half a stride. Because he gets so close it means his chest gets very close to the...
