Can I add to this please? I need an "idiot's guide" as to what I need myself in terms of equipment as I'll be doing hunter trials/eventing camp. E.g., right now I just ride in a standard peaked helmet but I understand I'll need a jockey cap. What colour breeches? Number wallet? Please help!

Is Braco too far?

Have you managed to get the details of the one near Muckhart? I don't want to give the details out here, but would pass on a message for you. I looked and it's absolutely glorious! But unfortunately DIY twice a day doesn't work for my lifestyle right now.

My son is currently going to the Crieff Hydro and they do local rates for local people. ;) They also do an after-school block of lessons but we're not signed up for that yet.

Does anyone have any recommendations for Auchterarder/Crieff direction?

Interesting - I was halfway through the article and was going to come back and say "xx do organic" and hadn't realised it was the lady herself. I think there is a *lot* in this - some diseases seem to be at almost epidemic levels.

I think you're probably looking at the MRI/soft tissue scanners. By my amazing powers of deduction ;) (and yours and your vet), you've checked out the lower leg and not found the problem there, so it's got to be higher up. My only concern would be... the higher up, the more likely it is to...

I was thinking about this more and my thoughts pretty much echo what applecart has said. Although my boy never exhibited (during my period of ownership) any problems eating or moving his neck - at *some point* during his history there must have been some accident - and it is likely at *that*...

I recently lost a horse to wobblers and "eating" wasn't an issue apparent and he could do all his "carrot stretches" and stuff like that. Hopefully this too will pass.

Yes, once in the centre by the pub(s) and then later at the last of the big Victorian houses before the beach - 96-98 ish I think.

Be very, very careful where you park. I drove onto the estuary sand once and was very lucky there were enough people around to push the car back to dry land! JillA - our paths cross again - I lived in Borth a couple of years. :)

I saw someone looking for grazing from March to August for convalescence... posted 3 days ago.

So you would actually use a pelham with ONE set of reins - on the curb only? *boggle*

1. So glad someone else has pointed out the Dutch gag/single rein combo. Would the abusers ever use a pelham with just the curb rein? 2. Bits with an inch hanging out each side of the mouth and way too low. 3. Mix & match bridles - personally I've not come across this (Stubben aficionado -...

Tbh, I'm not entirely convinced you've had veterinary intervention - by posting your phone number you seem to be looking for someone to text and say "ignore the haterz, I cured my horse with tumeric lol!1!". I find it hard to believe that any qualified vet whatsoever (even one who specialises...
