wow thank you all, each response was so useful..i've printed the pages! I need to get my bum into gear I think, there's more to do than I originally thought. I won't be teaching on my own horses but clients on their own and I feel better now I'm clearer on which insurance I need. I've decided...

Excellent thank you both. I am onto the HMR&C and so that will all be sorted very shortly. Thankfully my dad runs his own company and is good with stuff like that. phew! Still would like to know what minumum qualifications you need to teach with, or is it just insurance?

Cant imagine how upset the poor boy must be...horrendous :( RIP lovely horse

Hello all! Ive been lurking on the forums for a while now mainly because ive been so busy with horses and my new job/self employment (I broke free from the office...scary stuff) Which is where the question is leading to.... I have set up a small business schooling horses. The yard I will...

The hunt came past my friends yard the other day whilst it was in the stable, the way the yard is set up meant the passed no more than 30 metres away from the stables and it has sent her mare very strange.

I got mine couple of days ago, it seemed ok and horse went well in it however I have a sneaky suspicion it might be a tiny bit tight on his shoulders but am getting it checked out in a weeks time by Milners in Melton Mowbray, they can adjust it but its going to cost me £95 to do it. worth it...

I absolutely adore mine I would buy again however the only problem I have is that the zip came away from the boot about 5 inches down the length, i took it to get repaired which cost me £17, I dont mind as I love them so much however now the other boot is starting to get stuck at the same point...

Some excellent replies. After reading them all I only wish I could incoorporate more variation into his ridden work - i may need to get thinking. Sorry yes should have mentioned he gets loose schooled, lunged in side reins or put on the horsewalker depending on the weather. Thanks MD...

I am also interested in eventers and showjumpers routines but since mine competes dressage only I would love to see how others keep theirs to compare/take tips :D I try to keep mine quite simple as I work 9-5 weekdays but my MAIN interest is how often yours are ridden per week and when...

I havent read all of the posts as quite frankly it was driving me crazy, but I fully agree with dressage crazy, the horse is tense in most of the pics and looks a little unhappy and I agree the naughtiness seems to be a release from the pressure. However I think that PS is a very nice rider with...

I pay £50 per week that includes stunning overall yard, own 2 paddocks that I manage myself, large indoor school with full set of showjumps, massive outdoor school, nice indoor stables with windows, wash box etc etc also includes ad lib straw. I buy my own hay in. So all in all including hay it...

Very good idea, will have a look. Thanks again everyone :)

After Rossi's accident in the field yesterday which left him with a very sore chops (bruising and a large cut inbetween his lower front teeth and incisor) I called my dentist Shaun Carroll who was due to come out at some point this month anyway. I have alway reccomended him but now I think he...

Thank you for all your replies. This has given me alot of confidence and I'll be making a purchase with my next payday!With him being quite big and green (big green giant ..ahahahar..:p), he does tend to tip onto the forehand quite easily and doesnt seem to salivate very well so im hoping...

Has anybody had any dramatic (or small!) results using this bit? I've been browsing through their website and have decided upon this one from what they say themselves about it. But tried and tested advice is always the way forward ;) x
