I've had lessons of all of these people before. Just to add 7. Takes nice pictures for instagram but doesnt improve anything

Ive seen one where there was a full height divider so a horse stall was seperate and i believe that was a bed area

My coaches have a mix of qualifactions including none. They have serious competion experince What they have in common is that they are good at breaking down what i need to do and explaining it in a way i understand. I need people who can build my confidence and push me without rushing it.

Booking regular lessons with a good instuctor is a lot cheaper than a second horse. Ask locally for recommendations for someone who is good at building confidence and get them booked in for a weekly lesson. Taking it slowly and positive repetion is the key. Build some good memories in the...

Speaking as someone who has just sold horse who I adored but we had different ideas of fun. I vetted people to what they enjoyed and hoped to do and there experience/support. He has lots of dressage potential but he much prefered hacking. He is intelligent enough to see what he get away with -...

I paid less than £20 for 100 willow whips from ebay, thought it was easier than finding a tree!

I bought mine via facebook. I think places like rightmove are hard to search for equestrian properties

This bit stands out to me the professionals on the yard feel unsafe to handle her. you have tried your best but some horses are beyond fixing. Your doing the best thing for her and them. please dont feel guilty

Probably the most specific ad i have seen.... Looking to full loan to move yard, a 16-17hh chestnut/grey ex racer (saddle, rugs, bridal included) up until January when I am able to buy for around £2000 (the same horse I have been loaning for a year). Ideally between 4-7 years old and has...
