So I'm just wanting peoples thoughts really, I've recently purchased a new lorry and the horse travel herrinbone, the lorry has air suspension to make a more comfortable ride for the horses, it also means that the whole back end of the lorry can be lowered to make the ramp less steep for horses...

Oooh will take a look at these above are just possibilities so definitely open to other suggestions.

So I had my saddle fitter out last week who advised me it's time for a new jump saddle :( love the one I've currently got but if dosent fit anymore is time to part. So can anyone recommend or give Mr reviews and opinions on jump/event saddles currently looking at ideal impala, or either Albion...

I never actually thought what a deaf person might do very good point but I would imagine their senses may be heightened in comparison to mine I think we'll keep the music for home I would suggest that I sing to myself but with my voice I would deem that bad arena etiquette and wouldn't want to...

Very true and totally agree about been aware of people around I've only ever done it at home in the arena never out hacking so not had to worry so much about other people and hazards. I would just like to skip the dressage and go straight onto the jumping :)

I'm just curious if anybody ever listens to music while they warm up for the dressage. For BE and if this is allowed ? I am only talking about the warm up area and of course nnot for the actual test. I ride using a lot of music at home and thought might be uuseful to keep the stressage mode...

Super askham Bryan are running an early date this year time to get planning :)

Definitely move, our horses are supposed to be our fun and down time they really don't sound worth the hassle some people just aren't and will be the way they are, it sounds like you've tried to make attempts to resolve any issues and if they can't be mature enough to speak about what issues...

I had an absolutely amazing time such beautiful horses and have to say for me Lee Pearson was just breath taking he is such an inspiration and makes you realise hard work does pay off and dreams can come true despite circumstances. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of going

i love listening to my music while i school, same as Batgirl though not out and about, i just put my playlist on and off we go, most the music is up tempo stuff as also use same playlist for the gym so never anything to dreary, but find its a great to help keep concentration and but out any...

thats brilliant i never thought about lunge work with no stirips definately something ill do as think a lot of her problem is me!! having only 4-5 good quality steps makes perfect sense i think ive been caught up in trying to maintain for too long and so in essence we maybe do get a few good...

so ive just stepped my girl up from prelims to do some novices and so far have had okay results usually 58-67% or their abouts now ive never done any dressage until getting this horse so im pretty rusty to say the least but i dont believe in staying at a level where your not challenged or...
