    My 83 year old Dad did his first XC today

    As someone who is too much of a scaredy cat to ride xc these days I absolutely loved that! I think it is wonderful to hear you praise and appreciate your horse. What a great team.

    Does anybody keep their horses at home?

    I married a farmer I highly recommend it! I love having my horses at home specially regarding turnout etc. We make our own haylage and lovely hubby does all the maintenance jobs. He even built me a school. Only issue is his obsession with putting fertiliser on the fields. I wasn't very...

    to the cob haters ...

    Agreed. And while cobs may have their charms, there is nothing to match riding a horse with wonderful paces. I have a wb x ish whose trot is breathtaking. I also recently bought a tb who absolutely floats across the ground. The fact that he is tb put me right off because of everything I had...

    Vet has been today
