    Livery Yard near Taunton

    Also have a look at Curland EC. It was taken over by a great friend of mine about a year ago. They have a 20x60 outdoor arena, a 20x40 indoor and amazing hacking on the doorstep. They also have regular clinics with top trainers there. Don't think there is a website, but they have a great FB...

    Re-locating to Somerset/Devon - any suggestions welcome!

    The Blackdowns is a great place to live and have your horse. Easy to get to the M5, A303 for commuting, but miles of fantastic hacking. The yard I'd recommend in the area has recently been taken over by friends of mine. Indoor and outdoor schools and fantastic hacking on the doorstep...

    Help I am blinded by terminology

    I'd use whichever of those two options is Jo Heuff! She is an amazing McTimoney person, and based on Somerset, so hopefully in your area.

    Pony schooling

    I'd recommend Mike and Tori at Aylmore Classical Dressage - http://www.aylmoreclassicaldressage.co.uk/. Tori is the right weight and height to school a small pony and is brilliant at schooling as well as ground work.

    Farrier near Wellington

    Which side of Wellington will your horse be? I agree that Andrew Dennis is very good, but if you are the North to East side, you may find Dave Matravers will come out to you. I highly recommend him as well.

    If you were looking to take your horse on holiday...

    ...Which websites would you look on? Our new house has a holiday let and spare stables so we are looking to offer 'bring your own horse' riding holidays. Having set up our own website, I now need to advertise it on a few sites, but am not sure where. Thanks for helping!

    Advice on daily care of a yearling

    Look at it this way. If you were to read this post from another person on this board, would you think it was a good set up for the colt? I agree that looking for a stud to keep him at would be a good idea. Try HenryHorn on this board, she runs a fantastic stud not too far from you (albeit in...

    Riding again after 5 year break and hip resurfacing?

    I had hip replacement 2 yrs ago (aged 37). Riding is FAR easier after the operation than it was for several years leading up to it. I'd highly recommend the suggestion above of regularly seeing a physio after your 'normal' physio sessions are finished. You will have been moving incorrectly...
