I seem to be looking for the impossible. Ideally I'm looking for DIY/assisted/part livery with AYTO, a well surfaced arena, access to decent hacking and parking for a small lorry. Anyone know of any hidden gems within 15-30 minutes of Fernhurst?

Hi, do you still have any vacancies? if so can you tell me exactly where you are, price and is there room for a horsebox/ Thanks

Wouldn't it just be easier to have new liveries to pay a months rent as deposit in advance? Any livery yard I've been on I've had to pay 2 months up front then when you give notice you have a month paid in hand so if you choose to go early you just lose your deposit

That all sounds fine to me. Have fun and good luck

Don't know if it's too far but Thundry Farm is just off A3 at Elstead. Has indoor school so doesn't freeze, is run by a BS coach and 8ncludes lessons in livery. Fabulous hacking in area but possibly not huge amounts of turn out

I'd say if you haven't signed an agreement then you probably wouldn't have to pat anything. However I think morally and to keep future options open then one months livery/rent is an acceptable and fair payment

It's possible that she's just been busy at the time of the messages/otherwise occupied and forgets to get back to you later. have you actually tried phoning her to see if you get an answer?

If you have sky the red button channels are about channel 981 onwards I think and you can record from there

As iwantakitten says it depends a lot on the type of pony! I'm 5'6 but my waist measurement would be several inches different from Kate Moss!!!

This exactly how mine started to behave when he had gastric ulcers...

The weight a sorrento can tow will vary depending on year and whether diesel or petrol, manual or auto. It's actively the older manual diesels that had the best towing weight (2800kg from memory) newer ones are 2500kg I think so still ok for a trailer with 2 reasonable sized horses. I had both...

I always compete on my own but I'm lucky enough to have a saint of a horse who I can leave on lorry/trailer while I collect numbet/go to loo/eat etc. However I do always put a note on entry form that I'm alone with emergency contact. also plan to put laminated contact sheet on lorry...

It would a little bit depend whether she was in your room or you were in hers or if it was neutral ground (although this might not be logical to others!) If she's offered a number of times I might be tempted to take a small contribution as it might make her feel better even though you knew he...

I had an old one (04 reg) which was fabulous for towing) I upgraded to a newer one (2011) model which doesn't have quite as much umph but still happily pulled my trailer with 2 horses on board so about the weight you're looking at. It's got much more spec than old one so I actually enjoy driving...

As above...they are a broker but I got my lorry insurance through them Best quote out of loads I did and documents arrived the next morning. Very pleased with service so far

My friend always raves about PE rugs but I find them incredibly heavy and nothing special. I bought my horse a Masts this winter that has interchangeable liners and it's been great.

Even the excuse for you not to go on saturday seems suspicious to me (I'm very cynical! ) surely even if she was out competing there would be someone on a professional yard doing the other horses that could allow you access to your own horse. Personally I wouldn't make excuses I'd just...

Does anyone have a sample agreement/contract for a horsebox share? We have discussed all the pros and cons and have the advantage of being sensible ladies of a certain age with similar values so pretty sure we can make it work, but would like a written agreement to save any possible disputes...

Firstly - you are not alone, a back rail on anything brings me out in a cold sweat!! If you're having a lesson make sure you tell your instructor as that is the point of them. Don't think you'll feel stupid, they need to know what you worry about and so how to approach it. Then I just try to...

All days abandoned ��

Just seen tomorrow is abandoned. Fingers crossed for rest of event. As it usually drains pretty well let's hope the other classes run

Good luck everyone competing this weekend at Tweseldown. I'll be fence judging so please be nice to all the volunteers who are probably freezing their bits off and well jealous of you riding (in my case!)

Should say hasn't got same guts for towing. Does the job but not quite as powerful as older one

I had an 04 manual. Brilliant car for towing. Loved it. Now got a newer model which has more mod cons for everyday driving but has got the same guts for towing.

The winter series should be ok to watch...from my experience most people only too happy to talk you through what's going on (there's an explanation of the requirements for all of the possible obstacles in the rule book) obviously the orienteering bit of summer comps ia not spectator friendly as...

Also tack wise it's quite unrestrictive...a variety of conventional, western, treeless.. more or less anything goes as long as it's safe. All sorts of people and horses. I do it on my TB who now can't event any more and you see cobs, heavies, Icelandic ponies, Arabs and everything in between ☺

They have all the dates for competitions and training and the rulebook available on the Trecgb website. Basically over winter they have indoor competitions involving an obstacle course and control of paces (fast walk slow canter). In the summer the 'full' competitions involve the above 2 phases...

My TB now lives out 24/7. I was really worried his first winter out but he was absolutely happy as Larry. One field where he's stabled has a shelter, the other only has natural hedge/tree fence line. I've only ever seen him in the made shelter in the summer avoiding the flies. In the wet windy...

Whilst I don't condone poor customer service etc I am puzzled that 1 inch would make the difference between fitting and not

It'll happen. I was quite indifferent to my current horse when I first got him. He did the job but I didn't feel he had a personality like my previous one. Now I wouldn't part with him for all the tea in China.
