    Livery clients Netherwylde and Trent Park - pls share your experience

    I've been to both Netherwylde and Equitopia and really enjoyed both of them! The staff were fantastic at both, although one had slightly higher turn over than the other. Staff tend to have set horses they look after at each yard which is a big positive. Both yards were very confident in handling...

    High end/premium liveries - suggestions please!

    I think only Equitopia fits this criteria. I think their new American barn has automatic heat sensor windows, club house, fancy indoor etc. Netherwlyde is lovely, you can turn out in small groups if requested or other owners are looking to have a friend in with theirs. North London Equestrian...

    'strange' breed combination?

    Not necessarily true! I have a traditional Gelderlander, jumps 1.10s and schools at medium. Incredible adjustable stride, so much power and very level headed. Maybe I was very lucky with him, but i would highly recommend the breed for riding horses!

    'strange' breed combination?

    I have a Zangersheide x TB (oddly full OTT TB and full Zangersheide), very poorly put together and very feisty, but my god she can jump!

    Lameness specialist in South East England recommendations please

    I'm hoping someone might have some recommendations lameness specialist that would cover Hertfordshire? My mare has been intermittently lame for the past year, recently this has got worse. I have used my vets to investigate for the last year, but, we have never been able to pin point any areas...

    DIY livery yards Apsley/Hemel Hempstead

    There is a lovely yard called Kims Equestrian and there are lots around Gaddesden but they aren't really on facebook. I think you'd be better off driving up there and popping in. Further out in St Albans you have Smug Oak, Noke Farm, Hedges Farm and Chiswell Green. There are several more but...

    Sparsholt Collage

    Hi Scruffyponies. Thank you for getting back to me! This is more to take my horse with me rather than loan him to the collage, so hopefully wouldn't be having any of the above issues. But that is slightly worrying to hear!

    Sparsholt Collage

    Is anyone aware of the turnout situation for livery horses? Ive had experience of colleges having a 'rotated turn out' actually mean '2 hours 3 times a week', so wanting to know if anyone has experience of their turnout vs. their website?

    Acavallo Opera stirrups

    The black side is away from the horse. It will have an indent where the flag sticker is meant to go, which faces outwards.

    Too scared to ride my horse

    I was in a similar position to you not so long ago with my new mare that carries a serious bronc. After 5 falls in 2 weeks I stripped everything back, only hacked in company for a while, lunging and ground work for a month and started at basics. I rewarded good behaviour with treats. After this...
