I've just replaced my RaceSafe 2000 body protector with a RaceSafe 2010. Any suggestions for what to do with the old one? I have had it about 6 years (longer, I think, than I should have for safety) and am wondering what can be done with it? Can it be recycled alongside clothing? It doesn't...

I ordered the short Kinpurnie boots as a gift for my Mum for Christmas (she's yet to receive) and they seem nice enough given the price. However, I also ordered the long winter Kinpurnie boots and sent them back because when they arrived the production quality was very poor (bad stitching and...

Thank you for this :) Sorry for not getting back to you sooner!

Thanks Kikke. I will definitely check out your suggestions!! Thanks for the head's up :-) Much appreciated.

I actually work in Wheatley, just east of Oxford. Always happy to travel for a bargain! Thanks for the head's up :)

That is a shame. Lots of luck to you too :-) I'm sure you will find someone fantastic. I think I will be ad-writing busy this weekend!

I wrote South East Oxfordshire by mistake, really I mean East of Oxford :o I work in Wheatley. I'm happy to travel though!

Thanks so much for this :) I will check out the tack shops (well, Christmas is on it's way and a splurge could be in order!) It could also be a place to advertise for a share :-) I'm looking to meet horsey people (and horses) as much as to ride as I miss my boy and being at the yard so much...

I'm actually someone on the other side of it. I've just moved to South East Oxfordshire and looking to do a share during the week (I travel back to my family home in Scotland most weekends to ride my family's) and I don't even know where to begin looking. I've been riding and owned horses...

Thank you everyone. Great advice :) I will check out all mentioned. Prices seem more promising than I had first discovered; as one place I'd seen advertised was charging £55 for a 45 minute group lesson and I thought 'eeeeeck!' Any tips on tack shops? And/or DIY/Part livery yards? In the long...

Does anyone have any recommendations for riding schools in South East Oxfordshire or thereabouts? I've recently moved to the area and looking to get involved and meet new people. I've been riding since I was a little'un (around 22 years) and comfortable with lateral movements, the odd flying...

World Horse Welfare are campaigning for ammendments to the EU Transport Regulation to improve the welfare of these horses and ponies. The ammendments will be voted on in Brussels very soon. WHW are asking for people to take action by the 18th September 2012. I just emailed my local MEPs via...

Thanks everyone! :)

Can anyone give me any tips on teaching a young horse to jump a Coffin? Taking my boy to a hunter trial for the first time next weekend. He is an enthusiastic jumper and can get very excited. He started jumping last summer and we have progressed him steadily since then. I used to event a lot but...
