its a great confidence builder, they even have the mechanical horses to give you extra help on if you need any. ouch! i hope you get better quick! you ride two different horses everyday, in the exception of 'sir can i ride harlov tomorrow!! sir can i ride harlov tomorrow!!' which he would let...

no, it doesnt bother them at all. i was never nervous of the horses or falling because i wouldnt consider myself as a nervous rider but i did get nervous on one horse because long story short, i got ran away with for 12 laps of the 2f round gallop, and was exauhsted from trying to stop the...

you wear a radio, and they follow you in a van. the latest time your off the yard is 6, in the summer after waters up, otherwise, it would be 5 i had 2 falls, first was in the indoor and someone got ran away with behind me and came right up my horses bum, he launched and turned super tight...

they ask questions like 'what is your experience (if you have any) with racehorses', 'why do you want to go into racing?', 'how far would you like to go in racing?', 'where do you want to be in a few years?', i cant remember them all, but een if you havnt prepared an answer, dont worry, they're...

hi, i went last year and it is so much fun! they mainly teach you how to race/work ride and do basic stable management from mucking out to putting bandages on, etc. anything in particular you would like to know?

sorry for late update - went back about 20 mins after this post and stayed with her for half an hour to see how she is, she'd had a good bit of hay, had another poo in her bed, wasnt curling her lip but was still quite phlegmy, so called vet for advice whos first thought was that she'd eaten a...

my horse is showing really strange signs, possibly colicy? - not very interested in her tea (but did ave a tiny nibble at her hay), curling upper lip, sore belly if i touch it (she usually loves a scratch!), every now and then she has a load of spit come from her mouth and shes also really...

im at college and left a friend in charge of my mare and yearling, just found out that my yearling has not been wearing her fly sheet and mask at all since i left 3 weeks ago (shes ment to wear them 24/7!) and now apparenty has bad sweet itch!!! another friend told me that there is yellow puss...

vet was called early morning - she had a reaction to either a fly bite or flower. she has eyedrops from the vet but he also said she will have to wear the mask and sheet (but i was buying my mare and filly those anyway) shes quite good with the drops, as long as your gentle with her head and do...

also can someone give me opinions on using optrex eyedrops on a horse? i know someone who used it with success but im worried what happens if it goes wrong

i was talked out of it by everyone at the yard, saying just use optrex, it will sort her out blah blah blah but if there no change tomorrow morning i'll call the vet out

i dont really know how to explain this without a picture but my little girl has really awful runny eyes. this morning i noticed her right eye slighly runny so i bathed it - which she was a total cow and behavior was just embarrising infont of everyone - but this afternoon i almost had a...
