Ohh that's interesting - I didn't know the competition bridle was "nicer" might save a little more for it! Thanks

Ohh that's great! Yeh, I thought that was it - I just wasn't sure about the nose ring! Thanks so much!

I'm about to buy a Rambo Micklem Bridle, but I was wondering if anyone knew if you could compete in the mulibridle? I know there are 2 different types, but I wasn't sure if you could only compete in the Competition type? Thanks

We've been XC schooling round Auchlishie, Strathearn, Glenfarg etc... I'd probably start at BE90 - I heard Hopetoun have a nice BE80t course... Yeh, I heard about the fundraiser, which I should be doing hopefully, I love Gleneagles! Hadn't thought of Hutton!!! Thanks!

The fife area! ooh sounds good! Thanks so much!

Go for Albion!! I've ridden in my friends and they're lovely!! I have a Kent and Masters (it's actually GP...) and it doesn't have much support in the knee... Granted it's a GP, but just thought I'd say :)

I'm desperate to go out British Eventing this year on a Ticket, and I wondered your views on the best First BE courses to do - preferably in Scotland!! I've SJ'd up to Newcomers but my horses is quite spooky at new things... Thanks!!!

I use a Dr Cooks and love it so much!! It can take a while for horses to get used to it - for example, took me a while to get my horses in an outline in it. I read a book about bitless/tackless riding and that really helped - it's called "Riding Free" by Andrea and Markus Eschbach... Having...

I know that if I'm not feeling confident, or if I'm not concentrating fully, then he's more likely to do it... He does it more XC because of spooky things... Once he's warmed up properly XC then he goes perfectly :) It probably is rider error.. I've not had a riding lesson that he's stopped at...

I jump at newcomers! Not a particularly "high level" but still.... I'm not sure, because he's so happy jumping at that height as he FLIES round courses with no problem.. Then just gets to one fence and freaks out sometimes! He did the same thing jumping 75 cm courses - he's even done it jumping...

Good Idea actually.. Hadn't thought of that!

My horse has always been a little bit of a stopper, and now we've started competing to a high level, I need to address the problem even stronger... There's nothing medical wrong with him, we've checked, and he always jumps it the 2nd time round... I'd just like to know if there are any...

Thanks so much, I'll have a look :)

I am a 17yo competitive (mainly SJ) rider in search of livery in the Fife area. Preferably somewhere near Inverkeithing/ Burntisland... Really tight margin, but willing to go further afield so any recommendations would be so helpful! Thank you

I was just wondering if anyone knew of any good XC courses for hire in/near the Fife/edinburgh area? Tried Strathearn (been before - loved it), Kinnaird and Craigie but they're all to far away... Anyone been to "Letham Farm XC" and know what it's like and if it's available for hire? Any...
