I am planning on showing my horse this year in show hunter classes at county level. This will be the first year that i have done showing properly so does the horse need to be affiliated/registered? If so would this be the case for search for a star as well?

Does anyone know of any saddlers in the Oxon/berks area that offer a part exchange service?

Blewbury, Malthouse, Alden Farm

No it wont make any differance at all, a caller is still allowed

I'm working through this issue with my mare at the moment. She likes to sit behind the bit and look pretty but not work correctly. To get her to take the contact i have to make sure that i have a good solid consistant contact and use A LOT of leg!!!! And i really do mean a lot! Once she is...

This is what i am thinking about doing with my mare too, although i will be keeping the fronts on. She is a pain to shoe also and like you i mainly ride on a surface or hack at weekends if no shows but we do not need to touch road to get up to ridgeway so my farrier has said she should be fine...

Struggle to get rugs in a nice deep bottle green, Less common than you would think

[ QUOTE ] i've been and i loved it, have qualified to go again this year so hopefully will be! [/ QUOTE ] Thats good to hear, what are the facilities like? Are there a lot in the classes?

Hi, Any tips for stopping rubbed shoulders. Horse had a bib underneath rugs bit still rubbed!

Just wondering when you do your last clips as i have always thought that after January the summer coat doesn't come through as well? Does anyone clip after January?

I used to have a mare who was a nightmare when in season, i couldn't do a thing with her. I tried many things and then put her on Stroppy Mare suppliment and it worked a treat, a lot better than the more expensive one's!

Off the top of my head... Alden, Silverdown, Downside Farm, Blewbury centre.

Ride and relax works great for my horse over the winter when she is not doing as much work. I put her on it this year and she has been very relaxed withour losing her spark! Definately recommend

I know how you feel. I have to sedate my horse to be shod which is costing me a fortune! I have tried everything and when people say i need to train her to accept it i find it very hard to think of any new ways to do this. I would say that you need a confident farrier/clipper etc as my mare...
