I can highly recommend Fiona Hulme Dressage who has recently moved to Leek, Stafford. She travels and is the most fantastic kind, sympathetic yet challenging instructor. She is on FB.

NFU didn’t pay out for my horse when he was put down in 2014 with arthritis. The vet on his final examination said we could try de-nerving the front legs or PTS and de nerving didn’t sit well with me so I opted to put him down a few weeks later. So we didn’t meet the BVA guidelines and I...

What about the prolite version of the fairfax girth - it’s a lot cheaper then the leather version.

Thanks for all the replies. It’s very interesting to see it’s not as black and white as I maybe thought. I am more disappointed that the YO didn’t at least give me a courteous heads up that this was about to happen. The reason the horse is staying at the yard is to attend several high...

What about if I wanted to begin having my horse brought in overnight now? Should my horse have to stay out over night or should hers?

Thanks for the replies. It is interesting to see a varied range of responses.

Thanks for the replies. I only have 2 weeks left at the yard (only moving due to relocation) and feel it’s not worth the hassle of potentially falling out with the YO now but needless to say I’m not happy. She asked me a few months previously if I would mind sharing a stable and I said no...

Has anyone had this? Without my knowledge or say so my YO has been using my stable (I have one horse on full livery) for a friend of hers to keep her horse in overnight before day turnout for the last fortnight at least (mine has been turned out over night and in during the day although this...

I’ve subscribed to Olivia Towers Dressage which is interesting. Looking forward to seeing other replies.

Hello! I’m looking for someone with a bit more knowledge then me in the shoeing department to give a second opinion on the work my farrier is doing. Send me a PM if you wouldn’t mind awfully. TIA, J

The only place I can think of that have a large range of reins would be Henry James Saddlery. All super quality but I’m not sure if they have what you are looking for?

I’ve done the last couple of years and the going has always been firm (as is most things it feels like towards this time of year) but has a good grass covering for all the phases.

I'm another Ideal Impala lover - I've had the double flap and mono. Both great, secure saddles :) I have the mono for sale now in 17.5 MW/W if you end up looking for one
