Thanks cblover, it's really strange, every review I can find is really positive, so just wondering whether to cancel and get some from somewhere else or keep waiting. Boys are due to come in this week and would really have liked them as one is a bit of a stresser. Did your mirrors help your...

Hi, was just wondering if anyone has ordered any stable mirrors from this company (also Eclipse Equestrian) & had any joy? I ordered my two mirrors & paid a month ago and nothing. No answer to phone or email?

Oh hurray!! I've been reading with increasing doom having had a 2.5hr loading experience at a show today. My new horse is a slightly nervy type and is more used to lorries (ex polo) than trailers, but had been loading okay, but just getting progressively less keen to actually step into the...

Ah thanks idx :) My boy still gets it in the school, but at least having spoken to all of you I'm not panicking over it now. Have only had the horse for three months and I've broken him already?! ;) First tb for a few years too! Happy H, I have been dreamily eyeing up a Mattes sheepskin...

Oh thank you idx, for some reason I didn't see your post. That clears up my question to scots too. I initially thought it must be the build up of fluid from a saddle pressure point or bridging that could only escape to an area where there is no contact, but possibly not a dodgy fitting...

Ah good idea FBH, I'll do that tomorrow too. Thank you :) Scots, did you mean saddle *not* fitting well or some horses just have weak capillaries and happens even with well fitting saddle? Is it something you can do anything about if so?

Oh sorry to hear lots of saddle issues Frozen Hoof Beats, but in a way I'm relieved that both you and Impu1sion have discovered that is almost certainly is the saddle. At least that's easier to fix than the horse I guess :-/ Messaged Kerilli and she is certain its a saddle issue, but I am...

Hoof Beats!! Stupid phone! *rolls eyes* Sorry!

Thank you, so nice to know I'm not alone at least! So frustrating that there seems to be no definite answer isn't it? I'm not sure how worried to be or whether to carry on working him. I did wonder whether it could be the amount of work since I bought him as he did almost nothing for the...

Hi, I have had my tb gelding for three months. He was very poor when I got him and has changed shape and put on lots of fat and muscle in that time. He is also slightly croup high with not a lot of wither. The last few times I've ridden him a hard lump comes up right on his spine about 6" back...

Ohhh you mean go to Dressage Diagrams online? Sorry, took a while to get there! :rolleyes: I can't use that site though as I have a mac & it tells me it's unsupported. Darnit, thought it was the answer to my prayers for a second! Will have to try & find someone with a friendly PC...

Yes, diagrams. :)

Hi, I don't know if any of you could help, but I've entered a dressage comp for Sunday & cannot find my folder of tests ANYWHERE, argh! If anyone has Prelim 7 (2002), 14 (2006) & Novice 27 (2007) could you pm me? Thank you, can tell I'm going to have to re-purchase the whole...

Hi there skychick, I did the Cricket St Thomas fun ride in 2010 & I safely say it was the best one I've been on! I've done about 20 probably, but that one is great. Not boggy, through parts on the parkland, some optional jumps near the end (which is sensible as they ALWAYS seem to put them...

Oops! Sorry, didn't see you'd said that already! I'm such a forum rookie!
