What about studs? As an eventer they’d be my go to, but are they expected/not for WH?

Thank you! The plan is already to wear a shirt and tie 😊. Was hoping to avoid makeup if possible but wasn’t sure that the done thing is!

I’ve entered the three counties show next weekend for my first ever affiliated working hunter class. I’ve done plenty of UA classes in the past to I get the gist of things but wondering if anyone has any tips for a bigger show? My horse is an over height Connemara so he’ll be in a plaited...

I had the same problem, I now have Ariay contours and absolutely love them, I put a pair of heel raisers in as well which helps stop them sagging around the ankle

What are the best electrolytes for after hard work, in particularly eventing?

I used to use baby oil on my grey that got mud fever

Spacefaer thank you, I expect so I would need a 6-8 really but may be worth ringing them! The hunting shop was where I got the Mears from and that was the smallest size unfortunately

I have been looking for a ladies navy hunt coat for ages and am really struggling to get one small enough! I have just had to send back a lovely Mears 32" Fernie jacket that was far too big especially around the shoulders and back. I have an Equetech maids tweed jacketin 32" that fits...

My Connemaras mane is falling out, even had a chunk of it come out the other day, he wears a turnout snuggy hood to help but still is falling out, I have washed the snuggy hood to help as well. He comes in at night and wears either a no neck rug or a rug with a silky inside to help stop...

I have just bought an old albion dressage saddle, its lovely though! I event my young conemara and have a forward cut kent and masters gp to jump in and until recently do dressage in too. The new dressage saddle has made a huge difference to my horses way of going and my position! would...

DEFINATLEY! I had a connie pony who was a naughty little thing but I loved him and was a fantastic hunter. Then had a flashy warmblood on loan who was the biggest pain ever! Now bought a 15hh class one connie who is the best horse I have ever owned! He does everything! I hunt, team chase, pony...

Must I snug blouson, not the most stylish but super warm. Rambo fleece lined chaps are nice and easy to put on over boots as well as good cover up if you want to wear your normal clothes to the yard! Tally ho waterproof fleece lined breeches are fab, got a cream paid for hunting as well...

Commentating is an extremely hard task, which he has done for many years and extremely experienced. Having met him personally over lunch and also a lecture with him, he is a very knowledgeable man with a passion for the sport and the job. It's not just about speaking you have to know a good...
