We attended the kur on Friday - tgot there earlier than expected and ended up just where the stadium fencing ended to queue from - entirely expected and tbh got chatting to people and the time passed - the only thing that would have been nice was a few drinks stands or something along the queue...

Honestly I would consider doing a barefoot rehab - my horse had a similar injury with a few other bits, was shod with wedges and bars and it gave a brief improvement but allowed his feet to just flatten further to the point his heels just faded away and his frogs completely rotted away under the...

i believe he was ride and lead/In hand at Rockley but I rode from the day I got home ( I had a little ride in the school at Rockley - anyone who has been there - omg that view fromt he school !!! guaranteed to make you want to school :) ) I occasionally long rein or just take him for a wander...

Mine came back from Rockley in December and is back to the level of work he was doing before his enforced rest. What I am finding amazing is that he is putting on muscle now where I could never get it before - I don't feel I am riding different but he feels so much happier to work. My vet didn't...

Mine came home from Rockley walking for approx. 40 mins at a time - I carried on this until we were walking for about n 1hr and 15 - 4 times a week - then tailored back one of the hacks and gradually built up the schooling from there - he now schools fairly hard 3 times a week ,long hacks 2...

try and wait it out - adjust your advert and offer a little something - I had been trying to tell my ideal event saddle for a while as I lost the horse it was for no interest and then all of a sudden a lady wanted it and I had literally just stumbled across a dressage saddle about 15 miles down...

I don't look after mine at all (both the terrains I ride in and the windermeres I do the general yard stuff in ) the terrains last pretty much a year (always get a pair for my birthday :) ) and the windermeres so far so good - ariat customer service is awesome as well so if you do have any...

Good luck with your journey - this place was the only hing that kept me going at times as my vet wasn't being massively supportive and neither was my farrier but some fabulous people on here answered my questions and generally geed me up when I was fighting to get referrals ,vet visits etc for...

ohhhh exciting :) they are a lovely bunch - I just come and annoy them on occasions for lessons but they had mine for boot camp when I was away with work and he didn't want to come home :) If you need anything shout as I have been in the area for ages eg farriers,feed shops etc . From what the...

:) cool - it would be good as I am at a lovely but dead quiet little yard. I have a great flatwork instructor as well who dabbles in a little jumping and she is happy to come out to places

Tower farm equestrian in west malling and if you need a hacking buddy let me know as I am only in offham :) x

oh me me me :) Im a bit of a wimp when it comes to competitive jumping but would def be up for clinics etc im near Maidstone if that's any good for you and would be happy to contribute to travel expenses

I have been bringing my tb back into work after some issues , got a great new instructor and all in all things are good :) I have 45 mins lessons and after every walk/stretchy break the quality of the work decreases. Any advice on how I can get over this as its so deflating - we actually gave...

I will admit the first couple of years of owning mine was horrible - I didn't really know enough/have enough exp to deal with a gigantic giraffe who was pretty much racing fit - we disliked each other intently and made some huge mistakes but as people have said I started treating him like a...

step away from the ledge lady :) My ginger childs story is on here through various posts - he has come back from 7/10 lame in front with navicular issues,ddft issues - blah blah blah :) He went to Rockley , been rocking the walking rehab in his matchy matchy and we had our first sneaky jump last...
