Sorry, *ROG

Thanks ROGER does the nose weight concern you at all?

Hi I recently bought an Audi Q3 2.0 TDI Quattro as I really liked the car. The salesman asked if I wanted a towbar fitted and I said yes in case I ever want to tow my horse. Then the idea started to take hold and I have been looking at trailers. My horse is rather large at 16.3hh and...

I work in the City and have a horse on full livery. I would say I probably ride 2 nights during the week but I occasionally work from home which helps. I've recently moved him onto full grass livery which is cheaper (so I suppose better value) plus I don't have to worry that he's stuck in a...

Ooh thanks I'll take a look. Yes from looking at a few pics I think Littleton was a fair 80 as it had a corner, lots of skinnies and a ditch (HATE ditches!) and he really flew it, he is a big boy so I don't think the jumping is much of a problem for him. I like big rolltops so anything with...

Thanks, I think so too! I love his donkey ears :D

Hi! Thanks for your help, I'm definitely going to work on fitness over winter/early spring. My first one was at Littleton Manor. Interesting about Borde Hill as I looked at pictures and thought it looked on the smaller side - just goes to show how useful a person's insight is!

Hi I did my first BE80 last week and have completely got the bug. Horse coped extremely well with jumping side of things (dressage we will work on) so am looking for recommendations/where to avoid for next season. Ideally a few gentle BE80s, a few BE80+ courses and then some nice entry...

Thank you! You won't regret it, it was so much fun! Which events are you going to go to next year? I think if you are near me, Munstead is supposed to be quite a good first event?

Ah I hope she had a good run? :)

Thanks very much! Indeed - waiting impatiently for November to start planning my entries!

Thank you very much, no me neither I thought it was a bit of a technical course as you have a bird feeder, a few strides to steps up then you come down the hill and straight onto the corner so they are travelling quite fast. He was a very good boy as he usually takes the chance to slip out the...

Thanks! I thought the banners looked great but Sid seemed to think they were going to eat him, sigh... Thanks there was two really nice gallop stretches and he absolutely flew round, it did feel a bit fast haha but I just knew we had time to make up. I think someone else got eliminated for...

Thanks were you competing? He is rather handsome but he knows it!

Have you looked at equilibrium allsports boots? They are protective but closer to brushing boots in design?
