    Bakewell show -Irish Draughts

    Hello, I am wanting to enter my mare in the ID sport horse classes at Bakewell Show in August and was wondering if anyone can tell me what the show is like? It will be the biggest show we have been to and I know there will be a lot of other non horsey stuff going on but would appreciate some...

    Our first dressage test today & I'm bricking it!

    Good luck, don't forget to breathe and have fun! :D I can relate to the nerves as I always sleep bad before an outing but so far it's always been worth it :)

    Young horse stops if unsure

    My 5 year old mare can do this and she occasionally takes it a step further and actually braces back slightly. She is much better than she was last year though and depending on what mood she is in is to whether or not I have to just wait her out or am able to ride her straight on. It's easier...

    Appaloosas at royal windsor

    My appaloosa was a solid bay out of near leopard mare by a blanket spotted stallion. My solid bay was fully registered with the British appaloosa society and aphc as a purebred because that's what he was... regardless of the fact he showed no colour characteristics. There are many solid fully...

    When you lose your horse to EGS what do you do

    I'm so sorry to read this. I lost my boy to this last year and he was gone within 24 hours as well. Absolutely heartbreaking, I know exactly how you feel. It's now 18 months later for me and I still think of him and how bloody unfair it is. I don't know the answer to your question. Time helps...

    Riding hats and helix (top ear) peircings...

    I've had mine pierced about 10 years now and it isn't a problem with my hat. It hurt like hell at the time though, couldn't sleep on it for weeks, but then I am a bit of a wuss too. ETA, I have a stud in.

    Changing a horse's name?

    My mare was called Tina... I shortened it to Tia so it's pretty similar. Can't say I have had any worse luck than I would have done for changing it?

    Who stayed with their horse for PTS by injection?

    I didn't and I really wish I had done. It's the one thing I regret more than anything. When my mum stayed for our old cob who had to be PTS by inj, the vet told her just to look away when he was about to go down, she did and then when she looked back he was just on the floor. She said it wasn't...

    What do you want to achieve in the next year?

    I would like to be able to hack Tia out on her own confidently, more often, and to have overcome her current blip of not being happy coming in on her own on occasions. I also want to continue lessons with her & progress with her flatwork as I am toying about registering BD next year. More...
