So I've graduated from my equine degree and as mad as it sounds, I've always wanted to do a hairdressing apprenticeship when I finish. I applied for my degree last minute, to carry on from my equine studies as a National Diploma. All was going well, my ideal salon seemed really keen to take...

Her family show, however she is a native and I was aiming to do most things with her

Horse Quest appears to be more expensive than I remember, but there's not much of my horses breed on horse deals so not sure what website is best to advertise a youngster ready to be backed? Any help appreciated, thanks.

I've already done a large livery yard, stud and vets. the job requirements were within my capabilities but I was just disappointed with varying aspects and quite shocked.

I thought it would be a good step to gain experience but to be honest I would benefit more from a livery yard consisting of 2 donkeys. It definitely confirmed some of my concerns with British Dressage lately.

No never been on a big yard before. Big livery yard yes, but not competition yard. I was actually looking for a show yard as I'm only small myself and wanted to care for/ride and produce show ponies. However dressage comes in at a close second for interest so thought I would give it a go. I...

I won’t mention names on here, but I was very shocked after going for a trial with a top competition rider, to find a very poorly run and stressful yard. Is that really the kind of environment you would want your horses to be around? How can you tell the good employers apart from the bad?

Can't think why people do it.

My mums arab had a foal at 2

I did try a syringe whilst waiting for the magnesium oxide to come and didn’t notice it to be of any help. His not awful, just very nervous but it’s strange as you can tell it’s not naturally him, as he has no malice. I just can’t explain how much he clicked back into his happy self after a...

I usually for whatever reason in my head believed it would take a week to take effect. As I have previously posted, I was feeding for weight control of a native living out, I then ran out and realised I should change from Epsom salts to magnesium oxide. Suddenly I realised maybe magnesium...

What a lovely face! She looks adorable. It also to me looks like she may have had a foal or two in the past but get vets opinion too :)

Yes it was fitted. I think I will send an email tomorrow to say I'm slightly concerned.

Okay on further assessment, I can’t help but think my saddle is too narrow. His previous saddle was too wide and had started to slip. This saddle hasn’t moved whilst riding yet, however it just looks slightly low at back and too much room in front. I’ve not had a brand new saddle in a while...

My rising 6yo is schooling, hacking and jumping a small fence now and then. I would like him to still be fit, healthy and competing into his 20's so there's no rush for us. We might hit our prime at 15 rather than 8 but I can handle that :)
