I used them to import a horse from Dubai to the UK. Flew from Dubai to Frankfurt then driven overland to me in the UK. Fantastic company that kept me informed of every step of the journey. Like others have said, my horse did arrive a little bit shell shocked from being on a shared transport and...

I brought my 16/17 yr old Arab back to the UK with me from Dubai. And imported my current mare from Portugal. I plan to move to Canada in the next 10 years or so and will take my current horses (the one from Portugal and New Forest) with me who will problably both be in their late teens at the...

Very true! I did a science degree but obviously cannot compare to a med degree for work load!

I kept my horses all throughout Uni. and chose a uni within 30-60 minutes of where I kept my horse so I could continue the same as before. Uni 'social life' is overated in my opinion, but I have never been a big drinker and would much rather spend the time with my horses (really showing off my...

Good point! I am up in Cumbria so probably a fair bit cheaper than near London :)

so I am a few steps ahead of you at the minute... worked on my career to get to a good salary, bought a house with my partner a couple of years ago and now I am 6 months pregnant with my first :) The main difference is that I am lucky enough to have my horses on my own land so it is easier in...

I have concrete panels on my barn :) currently don't have seperate stables in the building yet but will probably use them as a partition wall too. They are great! In terms of cost i guess they might be a bit more expensive but they will never fall down because a horse is leaning on them! For...

I have been using this over the past month. However, I have used it in combination with changing a few ways in how I manage my horses too so it is hard to say whether it was the tonic, the managment changes, or a bit of both! I got the liquid version. Horses weren't super keen on it but did eat...

Hello! I am currently 14 weeks pregnant and also planning to keep on riding as long as I can. My plan is to do lots of in hand work once I feel to big too ride to keep them ticking over. Then will probably just hop on again once i feel up for it after I've had the baby :) I have mine at home and...

P.S Found some old embarrassing photos! Try not to laught too hard but they may provide some inspiration!

I'm not sure how versitile this would be for jumping but I used to do some fancy dress shows on my pony when I was a kid. Resued a load of my grandma's old clothes and went wild! I will try and add a photo. Best costume was as a 'warrier'. Made a mounted games flag as a spear (or you could use a...

I have bought a ridden horse unseen. She was a Lusitano mare from Portugal (mare in my profile picture). Although, I did not ride her myself, friends of mine were out there on a riding holiday and rode her for me providing lots of vidoes and info plus many people I knew had bought from this...

Wow! Lovely looking boy! I bought the mare in my avatar unseen from abroad. Risky business but it worked out well :) Looking forward to seeing updates!

Anja Beran. Every picture and video I see of her working with a horse, they look effortless and amazing :)
