Any experiences with this company? Thinking about having a box built by them :) http://hunter-horseboxes.co.uk/

Okay great thanks everyone, so soak hay and swap straw for shavings. Anything else I should do? And how long should I wait to see if there's a change?

My mare has developed a cough over the past week but nothing like what I've had with anything I've previously worked with. She's currently in overnight, doesn't cough in stable in field etc it's literally first thing in the morning when I get her out. It's only ever 1/2 coughs if I ask her to...

Got a free weekend a couple weeks so trying to decide where to compete and struggling to decide, so hoping some of you lovely folk will be able to help! Would you.. A) Go to a local UA ODE B) Go UA showjumping at a BS venue The horse in question is fairly green, I've had her roughly a...

I'm probably being really dim but could someone explain to me what 'max top spread' and 'max base spread are referring to (What part of the jump) I've always thought spreads to be measure from the front to the back so the different sizes have gotten me all confused! Also is there a minimum width...

Great thanks everyone, lots to look into!

The 50+ miles doesn't bother me personally however I'm currently relying on a non horsey parent for lifts, fine that distance for competitions bit not sure I'd be able to convince them for something that'd only last an hour! Will definitely look into what you've said popsdosh, think that may...

Anyone able to recommend me some xc clinics? Or can advise me where best to look? Based near Oxford so ideally the closer there the better, am really struggling to find anything online but feel like they must be out there somewhere! Had a look at BE training and there's lots of showjumping and...

Yeah, lots of showjumping and flatwork but barely anything in the way of XC unless I want to drive 50+ miles or have a go at the 1* ones :(

Thanks everyone for all of your suggestions! Polos they don't happen to be the dove beige ones? Because those look great!

Currently have a navy jacket, I tend to wear my white breeches as they look nicer than the cream ones I have however know this isn't proper (BE Novice & below). Hoping to buy a new pair of nice breeches so want to make sure I get the right colour!

Ah alright, thanks everyone. Completely forgot about tractors.. it's been a long day haha

Okay thank you, in which case how does anyone manage this time of year with them? So many venues near me just have fields for parking and with the ground being how it is at the moment they must all either not go or get stuck then?

Just wondering how they fare in muddy fields? I'm assuming they're not 4 wheel drive so would get stuck in the mud just like your average car would that's not a 4x4? Thanks
