You look fine on him (he's lovely!)

I'd also go for yard two.

I'd recommend HorseQuest - we sold our horsebox on the same day as advertising it after receiving non-stop phone calls! So there are definitely a lot of people who view the adverts on a daily basis. It's the first place I use to look too, it's so well laid out, lots of photos can be added and a...

Really glad he seems to be improving - poor thing. My mare had her flu/tet last week and the swelling was enormous, it was done in the chest so not as severe as in the neck but she was very off colour for a few days - totally quiet and subdued which is not at all like her! Danilon helped to...

Eek!! We used to have a rabbit-killer... he was a welsh mountain pony so during summer went in a smaller paddock on his own which was adjacent to the other horses in their big field, and we kept finding dead rabbits in there with him when we went to bring him in at night. We thought the...

I'd hold onto your little cob, horses are supposed to be fun and it's clear from what you've written that this is what your little mare provides! I can't help but feel that if you send her away to a friend or put her on loan, you will become "stuck" with your tricky WB and find riding /...

I had a pair, they were really nice & looked so smart but fell apart after 2 months of wear (yard work only, I didn't ride in them) - so not sure how durable they are or whether I was just very very unlucky! They were comfy, but quite like normal leggings so weren't that warm really. Noble...

Kerrits are lovely, so are Noble Outfitters - though bear in mind that if you buy the winter softshell, you need to downsize as sizing is very generous! Their normal ones are true to size.

A short but sweet (and probably stupid) question... WP's - Is there an official/unofficial age limit? I've been very tempted by a recent advert and would love to take the gap year I never had to do something like this, but have gone beyond college/uni years and somehow got to mid-twenties...

Personality is so important to me, I've been horse hunting for a while now but struggling to find one I think I will click with. I like the fizzy excitable ones - not total lunatics, but horses that are quick thinking and forward going with a real zest for life, but that love what they do and...

Gastroplus really worked wonders for my horse - to be honest I hadn't expected it to work as there are so many supplements out there claiming to solve all problems but I thought it was worth trying it for a short while to see if there was any improvement, I'd read quite a lot online and GP...

It may come to that!

Can anybody please recommend some clippers which would be up for the challenge of clipping a hairy cob (feathers included)?! I made the mistake of overfacing our current ones and they gave up on me mid clip - it's a while before they can be repaired due to long wait lists (even so I don't think...

I treated myself to an Albion bridle when I got my horse almost 4 years ago and love it - soft and supple from the word go and always gets complimented. It has stayed looking smart and new, though I do take very good care of it! I also bought mine from the national saddle centre and would...

You're definitely not alone! My horse is so accident prone that it has become an enormous joke to my friends, family, work colleagues, instructors, vet, farrier etc etc - I am ALWAYS doing rehab and she costs an absolute fortune to keep because the list of issues keeps getting longer!! Every day...
