Looking for recommendations about short term schooling livery options for my grassroots eventer. Looking for a professional event rider to take her for a couple of weeks for some tuning up and keep her fitness up whilst I'm away. -West Kent/E Sussex area. Any thoughts or recommendations would...

I feed my event mare chaff, pony nuts and blue chip pro balancer. It's done wonders for her condition and over all healthy glow/ shiny coat. Even though she's quite a blood type and majority TB, now that our grass has come through she's holding her weight very well and is not on a high quantity...

Just wanted peoples thoughts on competing on a weds and a Saturday in the same week. The Wednesday is a local combined training and the Saturday is a BE event- doing the 90 which is well within her comfort zone. Just wanted to go out and get some course practice before the event and Wednesday is...

Try hazelhurst stables W Sussex. Lovely event types that can jump and nice people to deal with :)

I don't think your asking too much and i had the exact same issue with my search three months ago. I'm based in Kent and restricted my search to the south east and similar locations you have mentioned above and defo felt this was a factor holding back my search especially when matching the...

I would say just keep things calm but get him settled into the yard routine as quickly as possible. I would defo turn him out if the others go out as that is a good way for them to see their new surroundings and blow off some steam. In terms if avoiding riding- my policy is always to just crack...

I would start by feeding what he is currently on so its not all big changes for him in a new home. However by the sounds of it you are planning to up his work and therefore his feeding needs are likely to change and it also depends on the quality of your grass and amount of hay you feed etc...

Hi there, just wondering if anyone is going to munstead on Saturday from West Kent area that would have room for a very well behaved horse on their lorry. Would pay for petrol and your time of course. Struggling to find transport but really want to go! Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!

Would be beyond grateful if anyone could help me and tell me the test as can't find it online and left it too late to order one as competing sunday am. Thanks!

I have just entered for Larkhill 90- Hoping its a nice one!?

I would ask for some more video footage before you go ahead just to make sure you like what you see! If that's the case and if it health issues that are the big worry for you get it vetted and then get it on trial if it passes. Ok it does look desperate from the seller giving you this option but...

Thanks! Thoughts on Chilham and Ascott Under Wychwood?

Looking to take my new horse to do our first BE90 and want to start off on a nice confident run. Just wondering opinions of the easiest BE90 courses in the South East. Thanks!

I had the exact same issue in December when looking for a solid BE90/100 horse that had lovely character and established enough to take out and have fun with. I thought we had a very reasonable budget but most people (particularly dealers wanted excess of 10/12k) and our max was 7.5k. After...

Looking for a yard around tonbridge area but willing to travel about 20 mins. Friendly people, turnout and good school is a must. Currently finding it hard to come across good yards that aren't already full so any suggestions welcome! Thanks
