I have a fit Connie 5yo who is in need of a little zing! During the summer with the fresh grass he perked up a little and was happily holding weight on a scoop of hifi light and sprinkle fibre cubes just to keep him in routine. Since he has been in a little more he has seemed a little sluggish...

Not a usual post but I am relocating to Nottingham and would love to have a house mate who has similar interests! Is anybody looking or know of anybody who may be keen to buddy up? Thanks !

Thanks all :) I am so excited! I am going to be at blidworth equestrian (my others halfs mum is kindly taking us as a livery). She has extensive local knowledge so i am sure she will show me the ropes but always nice to know what is on around and about! I am sure we will settle in very quickly!

Hi all, I am relocating from the sleepy Cotswolds to Nottingham with work and happily taking pony with me! Recommendations of horsey shops, places and new people would be ace! Will be based close to ravenshead! There is a strong network of horse owners in the south on Facebook - is this...

I love stubbens and would like another one for Bailey - he would no doubt be their widest fitting but I think the flat seat and close contact will suit his shape... But it seems opinions differ between everyone including saddlers!!!

Mine is the original - so may be better with the compact :)

Have you bought from them before?

Hi All I'm sure this question has been asked many a time but here goes... I have a 14.1 and growing (bum high) 5 year old Connemara. He is fairly short in the back but comfortably takes a 16.5 to 17in saddle. I currently have a Kent and Master GP that I just can't get used to with its...

I drive a Fiat 500 TwinAir - she is just about practical! I went for all the mod cons as I use my car a lot in my non horsey life! I make a real effort to keep looking sparkly. I now use my 3.5t lorry for all the food etc.

Any recommendations on nice places to take horses on holiday. Probably taking 2 horses and looking for either B&B or self catering. Beach riding is a must and turnout would be appreciated. Thanks !! Alice

Caron Roberts Equestrian or Talland School of Equitation

A friend of mine is based in Worcestershire - EM Eventing (Vicki Hancox) she is exceptionally good. Also heard very good things about Caron Roberts in Wotton Bassett - a little more local.

Many thanks - I usually struggle if it is a dominant ingredient which it doesnt sound like it is in this case. I may give it a try as I always avoid, where possible, getting it on my skin anyway!

Would anybody be able to recommend a fly spray recipe that does not contain citronella (I am allergic). I would also be open to ready made suggestions although NOT Phazer - I got some of this on my face the other day by accident and it left a chemical burn. Many Thanks!!

I only do low level M&Ms .... so with a nice tweed jacket I would hope it would looks smart. I do have my black hunting boots with a garter strap that I can wear if black is ever necessary!
