Hello! Please could I have some recommendations for rider insurance. I currently do not own a horse but will be sharing a horse to ride and compete. I have looked at BHS gold, does anyone have this and would they recommend? Thanks in advance :D

Thanks for all the response! The sarcoids have only dropped off recently so there is still visible damage there that anyone who knew what they were talking about would notice. I'm hoping that as they aren't anywhere too problematic people will be willing to overlook them as they will...

I am looking to sell my horse who has been treated for 3 sarcoids on his sheath using liverpool cream 6 months ago. The treatment had been effective and the sarcoids have dropped off but will leave a visible mark. The horse in question is a 16h rising 6 year old gelding by Harlequin du Carel x...

I thought I would have a break after selling my last horse in November and enjoy not being covered in mud, smelling like poop all the time and being able to sit inside while it's chucking it down and not have anything to worry about... I ended up with a 4year old a week later!

Some pics of my boy today And some from our local opening meet

Need a short stud guard but not sure which one! The John Whitaker one look quite nice and also the mark todd.. Don't want to spend a fortune but would like it to be good quality! Any advice muchly appreciated! Thanks

Horses with owners with OCD really are very lucky! No harm in being extra careful and thorough!

Thanks for all the response! He's spent the first four years of his life in a field, then was put into a yard in Ireland to be broken and prepared for sale. The people who i've bought him off (yes i've bought him!!) said they saw him pop a single 2ft 9 fence easily so he may have done some...

Yeah I have sold him! He went last last friday to a lovely home in Bissoe. Going to be doing a bit of everything bless him, he passed a 5 stage vetting as well which was great. Thought i might like a break but going to keep looking and see what comes up.. Saw a nice one yesterday but need to...

Not having much luck so far, looking for horse to fit the following criteria.. 15.3-16.3 4-9 years To event/showjump/dressage over the next 2 years. Hopefully with potential 1.10/Novice BE. Must be good to hack by itself, fairly easy to have around, nice natured in the stable/load/farrier...

General first impressions, I want something to bring on over the next few years, maybe do an intro next year and see how we got on and hopefully be competitive at PN and Novice the year after. Also compete BSJA and BD to a good standard, not going to be going round 1.30's any time soon but want...

Went to have a look at a horse today, he is a 16.1 4 year old gelding by Harlequin du Carel with Lux somewhere on the the dams side (breeding doesn't mean too much to me!) Came over from Ireland 2 weeks ago, broken about 6 weeks. Did his first dressage last weekend which I watched, behaved...

My horse failed a 5 stage vetting last September due to a minor injury to the superficial flexor tendon. He wasn't lame and had completed Pontispool PN with a double clear 4 days before. He then had 4 months off and has been in work since February, I have built the work up slowly being very...
