I can't check as had to send my licence off for something, but just a regular post 97 driving licence (passed test 2014).

No idea, just at the thinking stage. Just bought a house so won't be for a while/year anyway.

Might be convincing husband to get a 4x4 for towing. What do people recommend, noting that cost is an issue! Probably second hand or new on finance.

Could you send me some more info on the clicker training? That sounds good.

I fractured my arm 6 weeks ago and had a metal plate and 12 pins put in. In fracture clinic today the Dr said I have another 6-8 weeks recovery and to stay away from horses (fat chance). I came off as my horse bolted while I was mounting. Very high strung and green 9yo ginger WB. Bit of a...

I have tried searching past threads before anyone asks! I'm recovering from surgery following a bad accident trying to mount the horse I ride for a friend. He's always tried to set off once I'm mounted, and after a walk round the school he's fine. Only he did it once when I was getting on and...

Thanks all, I'm having surgery to fix it and having metal plate and pins in tomorrow morning. Consultant said its a bad break.

Can't sleep for the pain

Came off the naughty WB who thinks he's a racehorse today. Absolute agony- really messed up my shoulder and they've said surgery. No riding driving or working for 2 months:( He bolted and bronced when I was trying to get on, so tips on teaching him to stay still appreciated. Be nice as I'm in...

Bear with me. I've always used tendon/fetlock/brushing boots on my own horses, just as a habit more than anything. I'm currently riding an 8 year old, very forward going chestnut WB gelding, who is a fairly fine build, like a stocky TB. He was bred and bought for dressage, but his owner...

Brilliant thank you for the advice.

Hi, A horse I'm riding is wonderful. However he was bred and bought for dressage. I'd like to try a bit of jumping with him, and have been doing trotting poles and cross poles. However he's just trotting over the jumps! I don't want to raise them to an upright and risk him refusing. Has...

I became pregnant in 2011 and my husband said I'd have to sell my horse, and give up work. Which I did, so I am now horseless and a stay at home mum. Various friends have offered their horses to ride but it never seems to work out, and what I want to do is compete. Yesterday my husband said that...

We do it all day, he's obsessed with telling you what letter everything starts with. Although his preschool push phonetics so it's all "ah" "buh" "cuh" etc. and we do writing work for letters and numbers nearly every night. I'm definitely not going to be this pushy with my second!

Thanks for your replies, I got round to reading them after fighting to upload a picture, and there's some great ideas for us to try! He's quite a clever little boy (if I say so myself) and knows his letters and words that start with those letters so the school idea is a good one, and I can...
