    Do you think this is too much bling?

    Erm i not keen on the bling being on the nose band as well as on the brow band. Maybe get a plain nose band other wise it is a bit OTT.

    WOW - Rolette sold for 3.5million!

    OOps yes it was forester not astra!Escapado`s new rider has just won a Team silver at the Olympics so i wouldn`t say he`s not known at the top tier, although it`s taken him a while to come through he certainly has a top string of horses and we`ll be seeing a lot more from him.
