She is absolutely fab, I love the feeling after a good lesson, you should be proud of you both! What a jump she has in her, plus I'm loving the blingy browband! :D

I wouldn't plait for xc as if anything goes wrong it's always good to grab a bit of mane! I'm sure you won't need to tho! Good luck and have fun x

I have managed to play it online through the bbc website on my tv but the picture is horrendous. How annoying that they showed all the xc and can't even put the sj on red button

Would anyone be able to look up a record for me please? It would be much appreciated :-) please PM me if you can help, many thanks in advance x

Thank you! I will give them a call and keep my eyes out!

I am currently searching for somewhere to ride or potentially a part loan in the grimsby area. I have had a break from riding and competing and looking to get back into it. Having called round local riding schools none have got back to me and I'm struggling find a suitable loan. If anyone can...

Good luck :-) done xx

Hi, I have bought weatherbeeta rugs for Connie's in the past, they have fitted well on all but were a much snugger fit on the shoulders of my chunky mare although she is rather wide! And a much finer Connie fitted perfectly into the same rug. They are extremely good quality and last for years...

I am only 16 and remember when I was 7 we used to trot up a busy village road with only a bridle on a 16.2 hunter leading another horse! Luckily the ponies were saints but I wouldn't dream of doing that now! We also would canter up verges and jump fallen trees, round the world is still popular...

I'm sorry to hear this very sad news :-( but it seems to me that you are both very lucky to have eachother and you're doing the right thing for him, you should certainly be proud x

I have recently done intro B on a very speedy pony. She was working beautifully until I gave the reins and then she shot off with me! Rest of the test was awful. However I got a 5 for that movement and judge wrote 'no give of reins' I thought should have been able to see the give of reins when...
