Sorry if this is a stoopid question, when do you do your placement? It might be worth getting in touch with Mitsubishi who are in Cirencester. I know they are (or used to be) very hands on in the organising of Badminton, even sending staff out of the office to help fence the course off! I worked...

Replied in CR x

I would definatly take a headcollar and leadrope, you can always put this on over the bridle in between classes, or take bridle off completely if you prefer. I always have some of those tack cleaning wipes close by so if bridle stays on and gets covered in any grass/ saliva/ etc... its just one...

Sometimes if horses are fussy drinkers we have in the past given them electrolytes before going to the competition and when we get there to ensure they drink to throughout their time away from home. This was only really for those that were really fussy and all other tricks for getting them to...

Sorry, forgot to put, give the horse a trot up in-hand probably around 3 hours after finishing to double check for any lameness/ stiffness x

Hi, the most important thing after cross country is to make sure you keep the tendons cool and inflamation free, so usually lots of icing/ cold water, walking out in hand for a pick of grass a few times (depending on what your times are will determine how often you can do this though!). Usually...

Another option might be to go to uni, but get in contact with some 4* riders and see about working for them during holidays, etc.... My uni summer holiday used to be from the last week of May through till the middle of October - the busiest part of the season and riders are always happy/...

Although I would also like to defend the photographers as well, I can remember competing at Tweseldown back in 2004 and paying £12 for a print back then, so the price has not leapt up as much as other products

I hope that wasn't aimed at me! I would probably have been fired from my jobs many times over if I didn't know the difference :D

Oh I'm sorry, you actually said it was stupid to sell a 'high res' jpeg for £5, but you still haven't actually explained why? If it is because the buyer can then e-mail/ print off as many copies as they like so what? Its not costing the photographer anything in printing costs, the buyer will...

I don't get why it is stupid to sell a low res jpeg for £3? If someone is willing to buy say 3 of them thats £9, or 3 at £5 is £15, and as a photographer you don't have the set up costs at an event, you don't need someone else there manning the machinery/ printing photos, don't have the costs of...

I've no real advice to offer but came across this (hope it works) http://www.crneventing.co.uk/crnsyndicates.html don't know if it would be any help to you or not? Just wanted to say good luck, as love reading yours and william's reports :-)

Its an absolute nightmare. My mares old field used to have the Pennine Way running through it and one summer we went to catch her and she refused point blank - ended up not being able to get near her for two weeks. One day when I was down trying someone who lived nearby stopped and asked if the...

Thanks becca1305, lots of ideas coming now and lots of things to think about, will probably end up writing a dissertation for o/h to present!

Thanks sj_xc_hannah_ I thought that they would need to offer something more thank just a pair of sunglasses, I've been reading through the sponsorship threads on here but they all come from the opposite side of the coin! x
