I read this thread with great interest, because a year ago I was looking for a horse around 15.3-16.1,good on the roads, with a bit of experience wh,sj,xc and good flatwork. I wanted something that was around 7-12, that I could go out and jump round a working hunter and place decently. Budget...

The Champion Ventair is a really nice hat at a reasonable price - I think mine was around £70 - £80 or so. Is very comfy - the padding on the inside actually stays nice and squishy, unlike other hats where it tends to go flat. It also keeps my head ventilated very well - no more "hat hair"!

There is a standard length which I would be getting if I were you (sorry don't know it off the top of my head!), unless you have exceptionally long legs. :)

Ridden hunter - horse is a lovely type for a light/middleweight class. I would be more inclined to say middleweight, but see the type of horses that have already entered too. :)

I'm 99% sure it's her back. I would really be getting it done asap, because the sooner you get it looked at, the easier it is to fix. :)

Thanks! Where can you buy that stuff from? :)

Am just curious to find out if any of you have a really good effective fly spray? The ones I've always got have never really worked that well, and I want something effective. :)

If it were me I would be saying "NO!" in a firm voice every time she rears. This will teach her that rearting is not acceptable, and it's something that you do not allow. At the minute she assumes that rearing is fine because when she does, you just let her get over it. You need to let her know...

Uggh, It's horrible. All thats on the tv is football,rugby and gold, and a few others. Considering the amount of riders there is in the country (which seems to me as if it's roughly the same as the amount that play golf, if not rugby), I feel that there should be more equestrianism on the...

What do you do when she rears? Do you smack her/ tell her off? Do you ignore it? Hoepfully she'll grow out of it, but it all depends on how you respond to the problem as well.

Just saw on the link an earlier poster gave you: Jump heights for 4yo is 90cm, 5yo is 1.05 Everything you need to know is on that website, under judge's guidlines and competition details.

Is anyone else in hysterics at this post? I'm practically on the floor by now :D;):cool:

That's the one I have..... :(

Yep, I have one of the ones that are in little sections, but still doesn't give me the freedom of movement that I'd like.

I don't like wearing it because it's bulky, and just feels eugh.. :( I also feel quite stupid going to dressage competitions and being the only one wearing a BP.....
