Oh just horrid isn't it??! When are we going to get a let up :( that said my horse has been living out as he has dust allergies & will finally have to come in from Tuesday, but some yards here have been on lock down for weeks already. We're fortunate we have separate summer & winters, that said...

Honestly no help/ ideas for you, just posting to say- dear God I feel your pain! It is so awful to be constantly dealing with mud & wet rugs, I can't remember the last time I saw my horses white socks :( and its rained at some point every day for the last 6 weeks. I'm fortunate our yard manager...

God Lord they are super people there- not only looked after myself & a friend that were clearly new and despite trying to traipse round at the back out of the way, some how ended up at the front! One of the lovely masters waited with me while I retrieved all stuff from my saddle bag with what...

Oh dear- Thank you for the clarity, we were going round in circles at the office! Great having your help and advice on hand, many thanks again Rog :)

Hi Rog I wonder if you may be able to comment on the below vehicle please- I'm afraid the information is a little unclear but hopefully it will be enough..... 1) licence B only 2) unladen vehicle weight 1800KG, short wheel base ford transit 3) GVW 2800kg 4) GTW 3500kg 5) 1000kg (trailer is a...

Hi Have your tried the British Show Horse society web site? That's usuall pretty good, but I suspect it maybe due to shows having to amalgament (sp?!) classes due to lack of numbers. Maybe check out the show horse society show at Addington in September, they generally have lots of classes...

I couldn't really not reply the this thread, firstly, thank goodness their both ok and here's hoping Buzz will be back bouncing round XC with his usual perkyness in the near future. Secondly, it has been touched on regarding the Moto GP & Super bikes etc, my father is also an avid fan and he...

Hi That's exactly what I do with mine, he's very nervous if we get a bit of slipping and doesn't jump well. Hope that helps :)

Fylde do off the peg 2 inch cob nose bands, they're lovely, just had 1 myself, can't remember how much but think it was pretty reasonable & beautifully made :)

Sorry perhaps I was rambling :rolleyes: what I mean is, the collection I've achieved has only come through schooling, not noticably from a change in bits. With the only acception being when the double is in for showing, however this is only as this must be the tack used for this sport, not as a...

Hmmmm are you sure you didn't ride my horse ;) I have been working on the same issues, to be honest with my big lad I don't think they affect the collection massively, unless your talking going from the snaffle to the double for showing? I have used lots of transitions, shoulder in...

Thanks to Honey & Kateo for your advice x :)

Just out of interest, if the YO gives you notice are you legally required to pay up if you move before? For example YO gives a months notice and you leave after 2 weeks? Sorry to hijack but I am quite interested in peoples take on this thought, I as have been on a yard with no written...

Hi Benson I'm not sure where your located but if you've found a rugby shirt that's the right shade, Equiport do beautiful embroidery, you could alway post it?

My cob is vey similar to yours but 4 white socks all round, but my jacket has burnt orange & yellow through it, hence my tie is burnt orange and the shirt is cream. May I request some tack pictures with you in your gear? I'm always up for a snoop at lovely coblets :D xx
