A friend's racing yard is looking to re-home a stunning ex-racer as he's come to the end of his racing shelf life. He's a 12 year old, 16.3hh bay gelding, very well put together and moves exceptionally well. He'd do really well showing or dressage - he really moves like a warmblood, big paces...

Hi Could anyone recommend a livery yard for competition type horses in the above area? I'm after part/full livery, with all year turn out and a good arena. My interest is dressage, but I'd be happy in a show jumping or eventing yard as well. I'm aware of the better know places like Crown...

Hi I'm thinking of buying some Townend breeches and just wanted to know what people thought of them and also what the sizing is like - are they true to size or do they come up big or small? Thanks very much

Hi I've just got a treeless saddle, only to be used for hacking on a very wide, flat backed cob. I've never ridden in a treeless before and I've noticed that although it fits width ways, there is hardly any space above the horse's wither. Does that matter? It's a very soft flexible saddle...

I have a traditional gypsy cob 'project' for the winter. She's about 15hh and super wide, a real flat, table top back. Can anyone recommend an inexpensive saddle that fits that shape? Many thanks

Hi Could anyone recommend some Dubarry style boots, that come without the Dubarry price tag? I've got about £100 to spend and am looking for a pair that are good quality and comfortable. Any recommendations gratefully received. Thanks

Hi My horse is at a yard where there are loads of horse flies, so needs to wear a fly rug whenever he's turned out in the summer. He's currently in a Premier Equine super lite fly rug, but it's rubbed his wither raw. He's a chunky, short coupled warmblood, with no wither. Can anyone please...

Hi I'm looking for a bridle for my 16hh Hannoverian, who has a small, dainty (almost show horse) type head. I've just tried a Heritage cob sized bridle and that's too big. Ideally I'd like something with a comfort headpiece that I can use for dressage, but I guess something that's designed...

Hi all A while ago I posted about a racehorse our training yard was looking to rehome and I had a number of enquiries. I should have kept the messages but didn't. We now have another similar horse who we're looking to rehome straight from training. So if anyone is interested please PM me...

Hi all Can you help. A group of use are planning to go to Burghley next year, but trying to find accommodation for a group is proving really tricky - it's booked up already. Can anyone make any suggestions (we'd rather not camp!) of hotels, B&Bs or self catering places in the area that...

Hi In July I came off my horse and fractured my sacrum (lower back) in two places. Now, over 5 months on I'm still struggling to ride and am regularly in quite a lot of pain when I do. I've tried one-to-one pilates, but that ended up with my entire back going into spasm and I couldn't even...

Hi I'm debating whether to buy these as my horse has a tendency to get cast. I was wondering what other people's experiences were and if you've got them where you bought them from? Thanks in advance

Hi Could someone please explain to me the difference between CIC and CCI? Many thanks.

Hi there Does anyone have Ariat breeches and if so, could you tell me what the sizing is like? Is it fairly standard or do they come up large or small? I've seen some online I really like but have never bought them before.

I have been given a pony as a companion, she's only four but has REALLY bad sweet itch. I've only had her three weeks and thought at this time of year she wouldn't be too bad. But she is still rubbing and itching continuously. She destroyed her brand new fly rug within a week, by itching so...

My horse is very slightly, intermittently lame on a circle on the outside fore. After much investigate the vet & physio have diagnosed shoulder lameness, either through a muscle injury or a ligament strain. He's now on restricted exercise, just hacking in straight lines for a couple of weeks -...

Hello Could you recommend me some good quality (not too heavy) stable mats that don't cost the earth? Thanks in advance!

Hi Can anyone recommend a lightweight, waterproof, windproof gilet that isn't too padded? I had the perfect one, but when I fell off and fractured my back a few weeks ago - they cut it off me at the hospital?! As I can't ride at the moment I've decied to shop instead!!! Thanks

Could anyone tell me how they come up sizing wise please? About to buy some online so can't try them on. Thank you

Has anyone ever given their horse Piriton or similar to alleviate hayfever type symptoms and if so, how much did you give? Thanks

(Also posted in Tack Room) My horse seems to have some sort of summer hayfever/allergy and each year it seems to be getting worse. I ride him in a nose net in the summer, but not only does he twitch and shake his head at this time of year, he also snorts and coughs just like someone with...

A while ago I posted about racehorses looking to be rehomed direct from the racing yard where I'm based. Someone got back to me asking about a younger horse, but I've deleted the PM. Anyway, there is now a lovely 16.2hh, black gelding, 5yrs old, with a very calm temperament looking to be...
