My last pair of riding boots have split and I am looking for a new pair for the next hunting season. Can anyone recommend any good pairs that are comfortable??

I have this cob which I plaited fine last year, but I tried yesterday and it just didn’t work! I plaited really tight but when I went to roll the plait nearer the top it looked really loose and not round at all. His mane nearer his poll is split into both sides, but I pulled the whole thing...

I am 17 and looking at career options and love hunting. I’m not really worried what section I go into but just wondering if anyone knows a typical day from when it starts and finishes and the typical routine of being in hunt service for any of the roles.

We have an 8yrs old cob and every time you go down a hill mainly in fields he tends to flick his front feet out and round in front of each foot and slides as he walks. When he slides it’s not small is a good 1/2 metre to 1 metre in length. I just wanted to know whether it’s just his way of going...

I have a pair of lister star clippers and they are amazing and wouldn't swap them for anything else as they also have a good reputation. They are easy to adjust the tension and are really light and they clip really tight and nicely. Definitely recommend buying a pair!

When you say hair spray do you use an aerosol hair spray it one of those liquid squirt ones?

I need something to hold my plaits better, as at the moment I use nothing apart from the bands. Just wondering if it would help with extra grip and hold and also if I helps to get tighter plaits.

I can't seem to put a photo up but he is feed on hayledge, 16 plus by dodson and horrell and oats when he needs them. In the day he is put out in the field.

This is a long shot but fingers crossed someone will be able to help. I am trying to trace an old horse just to find out hows she doing and what she is up to. she's a mare and is called Tolcarne Tansy but we called her Tansy for short. She is liver chestnut with no socks and no marks on her...

I have an Irish Draught cross, who's feet isn't dry but they seem to just crack at the ends, they are pretty soft but not massively so wanted recommendations for feed which would harden his feet.

Our horse took off with my dad and broke 3 of his ribs as he fell onto the road and was then funny to mount after, and part of his problem was that he was blind in his left eye but only half of it, so now he is being trained right from the start as if he is being broken in, patting the saddle...

We have a cold water hose but as winter is approaching I would like some sort of warm water source as also I am now so feed up with using buckets full of warm water as I get soaked. Is there some sort of connection that can go on the cold hose to make the water warm or is there some kind of...

I use lister star clippers on our hunters and they are amazing they come with a 1.5 blade which gives a tight clean cut, and the blades are so easy to replace, and the clippers are so light and easy to handle, would highly recommend these.

He would really suit being hogged, but be careful as when we bought our cob he was hogged and had his tail clipped which it shouldn't of been! but he was itchy as hell and rubbed right down to the skin so won't be hogging him again, but a good top tip that i was told was to put baby oil on after...

His mane will be pulled up to hand length as it has had the summer to grow so would be able to be plaited up in to bunche, but i don't want to do it if he will look silly
