My Dad is allergic to horses, the more time he spends around them the less sneezing and itching - except clipping, he can't be around clipping. My partner is also allergic to pet hair and has hayfever, he just has to take an antihistamine everyday and he is fine :) Its managable x

Im glad he is back to his job for you :D I'm holding out riding until spring when the ground isn't so soft, I'm finding comfort in looking at all the holidays I can take her on, just to hack. Its just a little heart breaking being on a competition yard where my girl is just going to waste :'( I...

I have a 16.2h Liver Chestnut ISH by Marmite D'or and Tims Quine. My mare has got impeccable manners, she just wants to please and nothing at all phases her. She is a perfect TRUE bomb-proof horse with a heart of gold. She has a strong affinity for jumping, this is the only time I can fault...
