Thanks for that Admirable, Bowhouse has been suggested by somebody else too so I will give them a ring :) And yes, my niece is based between Glenrothes and Kirkcaldy (I'm in the New Forest still!) so Bowhouse would be ideal :)

Does Lochore Meadows Riding Stables have a good reputation?...........they seem to run a junior riding club with stable management as well as horse riding!

Hi, I am looking for a good riding school in Fife for my 8 year old neice to have lessons at! I think she would benefit from group lessons (after an initial assessment and perhaps some 1 to 1 tuition!) so she can be with other kids a similar age and ability so a school that perhaps has a junior...

Thanks guys .................I thought the little ones looked really fiddly to do too but i guess it is up to her

Hi, not posted for AAAAGES but I'm sure you'll be able to help A friend was wondering where she can buy small bridle number discs from! She can easlily find the regular sized ones but saw a couple of people at the weekend wearing smaller ones on the bridles and she thought they looked smart...

Thats really annoying, it has happened to me a few times On one occassion, the people said that they couldnt make any other time than that date so I had to cancel a rather important hospital appointment and get the kids picked up from school and they didnt even turn up or call or mail or answer...

Glad the outcome was much better than you thought. I lost me golden retriever wehn he was 14 1/2 as he has suffered from mild epilepsy but during one of his very infrequent fits, he had a stroke and was paralysed down one side and was completely bent rigid to one side and couldnt walk. It was...

Used to do my dog with liver flavoured toothpaste, it stank though. Now I'd be more inclined on giving those chew bones that do the job for you and lots of crunchy food. Cheese is a good thing to feed a dog and it cleans teeth too!

I am hoping on getting a Finnish Lapphund next year. As far as I can make out they are excellent with children, good with other animals, dont mind being left alone, are very intelligent, like lots of excercise and are good family dogs. However, I dont know anybody that has got one so dont have...

Thanks everyone, I have resgistered wth a couple of new forums so will check them out too, there will be pics of charlie all over the net, lol!! FMM, I am based in the new forest, which is prob the best place to be based for shows if you have a forester but the competition is also very tough and...

Sienamum, could you explain how to slow with your knees further as i am not quite sure how to implement it and think it may be useful on my boy. Thanks.

Lots of schooling should help. Make sure the jumps are very small and 'boring' so he doesnt get too excited or concerned by them and if you feel him rushing, circle him before you attempt the jump and then sit and wait on the approach. At least if you circle him, you are not actually stopping...

I'm confused even more now, lol!! No wonder we are all confused with so many conflicting articles and websites about it!

He is too 'light' for M and M classes, although he has had success at local shows but isn't looked at at bigger ones, although he has gone beautifully, he was completely looked over straight away in preference for he 'fat' ones who were bucking and napping!! He has done M and M workers and has...

From my experience, drag hunting is exactly the way it was for you 17 years ago but with 3 or 4 lines over about 4 hours and being in the New Forest, no jumps for me!! Although the scent laid is strong, it easily dries up if it is windy and if the ground is dry or it is sunny so they can go off...
