    Can you complain about a passport agency ?

    Trying to get a duplicate passport. Society in question has taken a long time but the big issue is they have told so many lies. I sent an email asking them to send me all the paperwork , nothing online, two weeks later nothing. Resend to same email and they said they had never received first...

    Any dressage people swopped from bomber Morgan to bomber loose ring ?

    Just reinstating this in case any advice . he is so much better in the bomber dc, it’s made me realise that he was strong because he didn’t want me touching his mouth in the ns bit. Just so much more relaxed in this. I have tried the loose ring snaffle and it’s ok but sometimes it seems to catch...

    Luckily for me, just went to have a think about subscribing and the sizing thing doesn’t work if you are one size on top and another on bottom. So have escaped that temptation 🤣

    Horse that goes introverted in the dressage arena.

    Can’t really help, other than to say it’s not necessarily you. I have a mare like this, you can feel her putting herself behind the leg as she goes down the centre line. Everyone says oh its you , you must be tensing up etc. friend who is an instructor, borrowed her for a riding club test, big...

    Any dressage people swopped from bomber Morgan to bomber loose ring ?

    My Welsh boy can be very strong esp in transitions down from canter. Usually in a ns verbinden. My trainer had the brain wave of trying him in a bomber dc Morgan, that I had already.he is so much better in it, just seems happier and less resentful of you touching his mouth. Obviously it’s not...

    Doing business in the equestrian market, make sure you have a clear understanding of business including what a profitable customer looks like

    And you really remember companies that do that little bit extra. Horzehoods , I’m looking at you ! Always a couple of polos or an air freshener in the packing and recently I sent back some jodhpurs as they weren’t quite what I needed and they called to ask before they refunded, did I need a...

    Rugs for a long pony

    odd question I seem to have acquired a 13.2 slightly poor cob x dachshund ! She’s really long and I’m struggling to find a turn out that fits . 5.6 too short on bum, 5.9 good length but too baggy round chest and long on sides. anyone had similar issues and found a good make ?
