Hi, a bit of a long shot but I was wonderig if anybody had one of these around the Bexley/Dartford/Chislehurst area that they would be willing to let me try on my horse. Have tried on the medium wide and daddler is not convinced that the wide is going to fit so really need to try before I buy...

Who was it that advised this? If in your opinion you don't think your pony needs spurs than I don't think you are being oversensitive. Does the rider in question have regular lessons? Is the pony ignorant to her leg when she's out jumping? I wouldn't let many people ride mine in spurs. Infact...

I agree with a back check and an instructor! Even if it is his back it now may be a learned behaviour once it's sorted so will still need to be schooled out. If you can't pull on his mouth then try holding your hands up high, like level with his ears, when he gets fizzy and push him forwards as...

I cry like a baby as soon as it starts then all the way through because I know what's going to happen. OH finds it hilarious. First time I watched it was at the cinema with my nan. She fell asleep!

Thanks everyone. I'm pretty sure it is green belt, the floodlit menage surprised me but have checked the councils site and it is legit. It states on there that there is to be no dwelling and some other stuff without permission from the council. Is this normal wording or does this suggest hope...

Hi, I'm pretty new to the board and usually just read but I'm hoping somebody is able to help me. If anyone here has managed to get a mobile home as a sole residence on land that already has stables, storage and a floodlit menage-no previous dwelling or other outbuildings unfortunetely- please...
