    Remounting whilst out hacking

    Tap on the off side quarter (or just lay the chip there), hold the right rein shorter so the quarters stay in, just as you do when a car approaches from behind when hacking. Teach a verbal cue. And mount from different heights.

    House and yard insurance

    We are with Cornish Mutual - they came in cheaper than NFU and are used by many of our friends. Made one claim with no issues. A very personal service where you speak to a human, in Cornwall, and discuss what you need - would recommend.

    I know the answer is me… but…

    Tell you what, let’s do a gundog swap session for a bit - you have MrStR’s five, and he can have all yours bar the beagle. Yours will be horrified at living en masse in one kennel, and his will be delighted at seeing the inside of a house (which I expect they will demolish). Anything that...

    The agility thread

    I’m always devastated that a shuffling old lady is in my videos, when I distinctly remember running fast! 😁

    The agility thread

    That looks like a lot of effort and fair play on that blind 4-5 because no way would I get there!

    What rugs do I actually need?

    I would get a 50g and 100g, same make, different colours, and buy one attachable neck which can go on both.

    As Marigold4 says, as a rule of thumb it’s a hand from two years old.

    Done before but life after riding?

    There are so many groups pushing themselves to me on fb - all geared towards over 50’s, active woman. I can’t get away from them! 😁

    Done before but life after riding?

    I asked ChatGPT - I made some assumptions about you, that you were active, retired and older than 50, and needed advice on what to do in spare time. It came up with loads of stuff!

    The agility thread

    KC show, only two rings, unfortunately agility first… dog had forgotten he had ever been trained in anything resembling agility, and was E’d by the second obstacle because he jumped off it to visit the judge and then returned to it. Pulled off numerous jumps, didn’t get AF contact by a million...

    Which Wellies??? Help pls

    Aigle Parcours ISO 2. I’ve had two pairs in 20 years, and the ones I’m wearing now will be at least ten years old. They are starting to perish slightly but are still waterproof, and I haven’t looked after them - I wear them to the beach in the water and don’t wash the salt off. The only small...
