Thank you, some interesting points for me to discuss with him. He is very keen on the science of shoeing and I've always given him free rein as such with my two. He hand makes each shoe, so he isn't just putting a front on the hind, it is a hind shoe, made to fit her but with a toe clip. I...

My farrier has just shod my section d with toe clips on the hinds and I'm just debating whether to ask him to go back to what we had previously or let him run with his experiment. His reason for doing to was to let the side walls strengthen (and he did say something else too but my toddler was...

Anyone any experience or facts about this?

I've not been but I've seen Cain Valley advertising showing for all at Llanfyllin, they seem to hold a show most months through the summer. Also look at what is on at Radfords. Church Stretton hold a lovely local show in August. Both they and Radfords have their own websites. Rhos Farm hold a...

I tend to use a mixture of the three. It does depend on your surroundings and the time of year. Eg Autumn in the woods, orange isn't as good. My coat is pink but I wear a yellow tabard over the top, my hat silk is pink, horse wears a mixture of the three on legs, neck strap and stirrups...

Another vote for Belton, you can see a wide range of horses and riders up close, plus as the ground is pretty sandy conditions are nearly always very good.

We also have an L200 4 life with a 'farm canopy'. Brilliant towing vehicle, very stable, very solid, will tow off road uphill through mud no problem. Like the others have already said the turning circle is awful, like the QE2, but I've not got it wedged yet and we go to some pretty tight...

When mine went on loan he went in his head collar and nothing else. He went on permanent loan and she wanted to get everything for him and have it all as hers. He had way more 'stuff' with her than he did with me! Very pampered! I think it depends on the loan, if it wasn't for long I would...

Don't have any of the actual sets you are asking about but my black mare looks smashing in pretty much every colour. I am a big fan of green so have a few green bits and bobs (plus my other is chestnut so goes well on her too!). Burgundy is another she looks very smart in.

No school here, we mainly hack but if conditions aren't suitable we don't go out. If we have prolonged bad weather I might go for a wander around the fields just as something to do as I can get on in the field closest to the yard and then do a short field tour without going on the drive. It...

Mine doesn't appear to have a name on, I don't use it at the moment as my current two both run hot so I've swapped to using a parsons rump as you get the hi viz and plenty of airflow/ventilation.

I tried one and didn't get on with it at all. It totally threw me off balance with a spook, I felt like I couldn't move to keep my balance. I thought it would be a nice addition for long hacks but I couldn't get on with it at all. I also found jumping difficult as my butt was glued to the...

Is she rugged? If not I wouldn't groom much more than what you are doing. Mine are both rugged, I brush them every day, just a quick flick over with more effort a couple of times a week and they are both super shiny. At this time of year I use a shedding blade, rubber curry comb and a not too...

Mine will eat most things, you have to be careful what you leave in reach. They both go mad for buttered toast, that must be one of their favourites. My black mare I were riding through road works, she tootled past all the jack hammering and as we went past their van the window was open with...

I also struggled with this, mine is a 42" and most girths seem to start at 44" which didn't help. In the end we dropped on a Jaguar leather girth with a good forward cut, they aren't about any more but you may find one second hand. Another option is getting a one made, this is what I was...
