    No More Dressage at Belmoredean

    That’s a shame 😕. Is it changing hands again? I know it closed before when the racehorse rehab people rented it for a few years but it opened again under Robbie Carpenter.

    Using a chifney

    I had the best success with the Richard Maxwell training halter. Not cheap for a bit of rope but it was a game changer. Definitely recommend. I couldn’t gave coped without it. We’ve had a turbulent couple of years because shortly after this we got notice of yard closure and as yards are now...

    Show me your chestnuts! Black or Brown tack?

    If you’re doing in-hand or any showing brown is the standard. Shires do a nice inexpensive in-hand bridle. If you want to do dressage in the future black dressage saddles are much more common.

    Suggest a natural horsemanship trainer I can sign up to for a short while please

    Miri Hackett is on Patreon for only £6 a month. I find her quite similar to Tristan Tucker but not patronising like I find him. Tracey Duncan who I train directly with also has a subscription channel.

    Kempton park to be turned into housing.

    It’s not a specifically Labour thing every inch of the countryside where I live has been consistently built on for the last 15 or so years. The rich landowners around here are selling their land and they don’t care about countryside or country pursuits just lining their pockets. The Duke of...

    Squirrelly with farrier

    A HorseLyx mini lick tub (not a Likit) works well with both of mine. Younger horse wasn’t very cooperative generally and older horse became agitated after we moved yards when separated from his field companions whereas he was fine before.

    Hay prices

    Well most of us are on fixed incomes and can’t just ask for a pay rise to cover rising costs unlike businesses who can charge more to cover their costs. It’s not just hay that’s gone up it’s every single bill. I’m fortunate to be on a livery yard with its own hay supply but even then I think...

    How much would you expect to pay to reserve a stable?

    Only the yard owner knows what they will accept to reserve a space so you should ask them. As a part-livery my bill is split between the basic livery costs which include staff costs and consumables such as bedding and hay for which I pay for exactly what I use which I like as there’s no...
