Despite google imaging Ridden Sports Horse Class, for an unaffiliated show I am unsure what the correct attire is... I have had two reports: Ratcatcher with velvet hat, snaffle and "embellished" browband, white saddle cloth, no martingale/boots etc. OR Ratcatcher with velvet hat, double and...

Bit of a way off, but this will take some planning! My soon to be Husband will be based at Catterick come January 2015 and I will be joining him with my horse. I am looking for a super livery yard where I can have him on a full or full/part basis as I will be working during the week. He is a...

We had our Le Moss sired gelding put to sleep 2 years ago, he was 27 still sound and well but winter was coming and he had dropped off a little. For us it was better a day too early than a day too late. He had a full career P2Ping, Chasing and then went hurdling (he was very quick) and still...

Has any one heard of micro chips working their way to the surface of a horses neck? This appears to be happening to my horse on his neck where the chip was put in circa 6 years ago. I cant think what else it is as its the exact site where the chip was inserted. Was wondering if I should have...

I have the most sensitive TB possibly on the planet - a Nuumed sheepskin was like wire wool to him, so changed to a Le-Mieux - which is conditioned with human hair conditioner and then washed in woolite and allowed to dry natrually - ive had it 3 seasons, its as good as new and horse has never...

I have ridden in one that belongs to a friend quite abit. Her eventer went up to three star in his no probs, it is very minimialistic, but I like saddles like that, he has a very high wither and good front and this fitted him well for all fast work, SJ and XC. Its a good quality saddle and the...

Rosie Thomas is excellent with youngsters, and giving confidence - she is firm but fair. Although I dont know her, I have also heard good things about Christine Hardinge.

Sadly its a high crown one, which makes my already long face look even longer.. Ill have to sit tight until the right one comes along! Thank you for your suggestion

Where would you look for a 2nd hand Patey? I have tried ebay for weeks, to no avail, I have a good budget (sadly not quite good enough for a bespoke new one). I have tried several hunt websites/classifieds, field and country antiques as well as various other horsey forums etc. Sadly Patey...
