    lawyers...

    I decided early on that partnership was not for me and don't consider myself a career lawyer. I recently changed jobs to a firm with a more flexible culture and negotiated 8-4pm 3 days a week and 9-5.30pm 2 days a week, but I have to say I'm not entirely happy with the firm and probably wouldn't...

    Everything has gone horribly wrong- desperate advice needed!

    Is your grandmother in receipt of state benefits at all? Income support, council tax benefit or housing benefit or anything like that? If so, she may be entitled to help with the funeral. I know you want to help your mother and do what you can for your grandfather but it isn't really your...

    Saddle arrived this morning yay, but no!!!

    My chap was measured as xxx-wide in a Saddle Company saddle and it was made to measure as their "off the peg" ones only go up to x wide I think. They can make them up to something like xxxxx wide!! Very pleased with it. I got the Verona which is leather on top and serge underneath - lovely...

    Encouraging horse to move forwards?

    Double whammy! A long schooling whip in each hand!! That seemed to work on my very unenthusiastic boy - great improvement in just one session so reverted back to one whip the next time and he was still much better (before it was kick, kick, kick all the time just to get him to WALK!!)

    Legally binding contract.....do you need solicitor?

    A contract doesn't even have to be in writing to be binding - a verbal contract is just as binding. Anything in writing (and any witnesses to it) would be evidence of the terms of the contract and your intention to enter into legal relations.

    Livery Yard - Leeds

    Thanks for replies so far. I live Adel way but the long-term plan is to move out into the "country" a bit more towards Wetherby/Harrogate sort of way. I currently have a 50 mile round trip to my livery yard which I love but finding the travelling a bit much at the moment, especially with no...

    Where can I can a feed bucket??

    I like a shallower feed bucket too. You could try one of these - I have one and it is flexible but don't know if you could manage 3 at the same time http://www.rideaway.co.uk/index2.php3?se...p;catcode2=RHFE

    Pony or Horse Size Haybar for 14.2 pony?

    Hi, my first post! Hope someone can help me. I really like the look of these, but the horse size ones look huge. Would they be too big for a 14.2 to reach into (all the way down to the bottom), or would a pony size one be a better bet? Thanks for any help.
