Whereabouts are you ?

Thank you everybody,for sharing all your personal experiences. I won't make any rash decisions and just see how I get on. Thank you again.

I ve advertised for a sharer but with no luck .

I bought a girth from equiport that rubbed my horse after very little use. I sent them back the girth within two weeks and a photo but they sent it back saying tough, basically !

He is trying to do more hours but there is so many hours in the day !

I work full time to pay half the mortgage / bills with partner and keep my horse in livery. I'm having a baby in spring and will be on statutory maternity pay. I am wondering how I'm going to pay mortgage , child care and then go back to work part time , let alone livery shoes insurance etc If...

Leaving tomorrow for the 90 and dreading the dressage !

If I'm on the right rein and come off the track in right bend, do I then 1, straighten for one stride to then change to left bend and 2 change my diagonal . Some people say no as you aren't actually changing rein and some same yes because you changing bend!
