It wouldnt be my first choice but depending on travelling distance and what else is on, I might go. I would do 2 loops if allowed. A lot of people like the short rides, the best ride I went on last year was very poorly attended. When i mentioned it to people they said it was too long/hilly for them.

As per the others a 100 or 50g with detachable neck and a waterproof fly sheet. I must admit, i like spares of 200g and 350g in case of damage- mine are thugs.

I would put up a wanted ad that isnt anonymous and gives details of your experience and set up. I have a horse I'm considering loaning out but am put off advertising by the amount of beginners and kids looking, I couldnt be bothered with the spam but Id respond to a wanted ad that looked like a...

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

A husband that uses loud machinery next to horses. Pole cutters, strimmers, drills etc. They jump but dont get scared

Its not just the feet. Some of my tack is looking worse for wear after being soaked on every ride. Trying to get it dry in an unheated tack room to condition before the next soaking :(

Mine normally live out and the land is very well draining. I nearly got flattered tonight when i tried to bring one in before the others. They have the same rugs on that were more than sufficent when it was -5c with a -10c wind chill, they were happy living out then but today they were cold...

The diversity of friends i have made through horses - its amazing how you can bond from the common love of horses no matter what other differences age, gender, education dont mean a thing. How generous some people are with there time and energy to organise and help at events for the love of the...

Mine get the same all year round, only fed when ridden. Big double handful of chaff and topspec lite and a handful of oily herbs. I do vary amount of haylage according to the weather, mine need loads more when its cold, i find it strange when people don't.

So at minimum wage, that is £244.20 to rent a 1/3 of an acre a week....
