Hi! I've been there for a year now and can confirm you just need a normal length jumping whip and a schooling whip (mine is 100cm). Don't worry about sizes too much, they won't be measuring your whip at any point! Just ensure you have a shorter whip and a longer one and you'll be fine. Good luck...

Hi, In September I am headed to Hartpury College to do an equine course. Among my list of equipment are two whips: Schooling whip (maximum length 30") Jumping whip So I thought that would mean a dressage whip and a jumping whip. However, as I looked around, most dressage whips are 90cm...

Hi, thank you for all your great replies! I should point out I have just moved to Gloucestershire from Oxfordshire, and I'm hoping things will be cheaper here, lessons seem to be (my lessons used to be £40 for a 45 minute private lesson). I am meeting the lady tomorrow, so far she has not...

Hi, does anyone know of where I could get an affordable tweed jacket? Not for showing in, but for every day wear. I'm looking for something under £100, and preferably closer to the £50 marker if I'm honest! I love the Joules ones but I can't afford to spend that much. Thank you :)

Just caught up on iPlayer.. Personally I would not buy from a dealer, I would rather buy privately but that is just personal choice. I have been riding for 10 years and would never go and view a horse on my own. It's true though, that a vetting is expensive, especially if it fails and you...

A common misconception is that you need to get leather saddles fitted, but that you do not need to get synthetic ones fitted, that you can just bung them on and it's just fine! I know someone who owns several horses and tends to have a few old thorowgood saddles and the like knocking around...
