This sounds good fun! We have a valley field where everyone goes for a blast and I'll be terrified when I first take him through there and was tempted to long rein him through there but a couple at the yard advised me otherwise! They said I'd be better off riding him.

Ooh I might have a look at this!

I've just ordered a fly mask with a nose cover aswell!

I totally agree about Friday - build up to the XC day!!

Although right now it feels like it will never happen i'm trying to prepare for when we might actually start needing suncream!! What suncreams do you use on your pink nosed ponies?

I love my Flexars too! I also love Blackfort Equestrian training tights

I used to camp for a fair few years and usually go up for a few days but this time on Sunday - I always feel Sunday is a bit like "its all over day"!! I'm thinking of maybe going up on the Friday as well but probably can't justify the cost! It's only about 1hr 20 from me so not too bad.

I have been debating to take my boy through fields! currently been out the lanes and tracks.

It's under advise from my vet and physio to strengthen him up hill work, transitions etc.

I've just started this at end of last week so thought I'd give it a go

I was taught by an instructor that has been doing it for many years and came out with me the first few times.

I am new to long reining (only ever did it once as a teenager) and now I do it regularly with my boy and absolutely love it! Does anyone do this? If so where do you generally long rein? Any pics would be great to see! Do you use rollers or saddle?

I have recently starting long lining my boy for rehab and I'm absolutely loving it! Going to try him with another horse tomorrow - he's been great out on his own.

Not sure if Salisbury is too far away but have you tried Larkrise Farm? They are on Facebook. They have a couple of sports horse types at the moment.

It's an absolute minefield! Facebook adverts i find hard as like someone posted above you can't search easily! I tend to follow (what I've been told) are reputable dealer pages. I recently purchased my horse at the end of Feb and my vet said if I'd bought him in the Spring I'd have paid about...
