Talking petplan for a mo - So are you saying that for me to do two regionals for petplan I would need four sheets?

oh what a pain. We were leading until the final four went in. Don't you just hate that eh!

Hi, Does anyone know the name of the stubben bridle on the horse Isabell Werth is on. It's the inside cover of last weeks H & H. Thanks.

Thank you guys. It's two tests over 60% for petplans. I'll make sure I keep the test sheets. Also, can I enter more than one regional?

Hiya, I have just started dressage with my new horse and he did pretty well last week at a show. won prelim 7s and 4th in prelim 17sq. I know he has qualified for the petplan regionals - whats the standard like there and also has he won points here at prelim and also is he half qualified for...

This sounds quite big headed (i'm sorry), but he is already working at elementary at home. I want to go straight into affiliated and have done it in the past. I have already affiliated him and me.

Does every horse have to have a passport by law? As I read on defra website that if they don't, you cannot move them or expect to be able to do anything with them. Does that mean if you have a hairy pony in a field that doesn't ever come out, it doesn't need one. By the way, all mine do have...

Hi, have new young horse that moves stunning (if I may say). However, having been out of the dressage scene for quite a few years. Wondered if anyone had advice on what and when I start doing qualifiers. Whats an acheivable level in my first year. My horse is six and will be ready to go out in...

Dougals mum - that is so sad. My heart goes out to you. I have two old ponies their combined ages add up to nearly 60!! So obviously I am considering what to do when the time comes. Yours is not the first story I have heard. I knew someone whose horse actually got up and bolted out in shock...

Looked like laminitis when I first saw it. Pointing n warm feet. Watched her for a while and she was very wobbly when walking also she was buckling and looking like she was going down. She didn't n just wandered on. This happened 3 or 4 times in bout half hour. She is old. I wondered if it...

Kyra Kirkland for dressage. Steven Whitaker for showjumping. He's done quite a good job with Ellen eh?

I am sure that I saw Skyline jumping at Towerlands recently. I loved watching Spritzer. I also saw Inch High. Who remembers her? and yes she was competing. How cute she was and did not look 31!!

I think it sounds like his back is still a bit sore. I have an equissage, its great. They do a free demo. Just go on the website and have a look. Free massage and might be just what he needs. Good Luck

Splint on a youngster might reabsorb. I would leave well alone with potions. cold hose twice day and avoid hard ground and pray like mad!!

Anyone ever heard of narcolepsy in horses? One been diagnosed in our yard. Bit suspicious about diagnosis. Didn't even take blood test for other options. strange!!! Your thoughts please

hiya, there was a bloke on ebay that was selling tickets and you could also get on the coach if it was from your area. Good Luck.

i'm one of those people who spends most waking moments with her hairy babies, so deffo not an absent owner,lol.

she does say its her insurance thats requesting it. do you think i'm pushing it to ask her for a copy so I can check it out more? don't want to p*** her off

Sophieandhal - she keeps the whole complete passport. Oh no - that proof of ownership isn't it?

They are all vaccinated and I really don't mind them seeing that info, but not totally happy about the passport stuff. What if my horses and the copies got stolen??? They have all my info then. I know its far fetched, but the horses (without sounding really big headed) are pretty nice animals...

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF IT IS NORMAL PROCEDURE FOR A LIVERY YARD TO REQUEST A COPY OF THE HORSES PASSPORTS ON THE YARD? THEY SAY IT IS FOR INSURANCE PURPOSES. THEY ALSO WANT VACCINATION COPIES TOO. IS THIS CORRECT AND NORMAL???

They weren't hunters so must have been show hack n wotsit class. Yes all did individuals too. Do you feel you are always judged fairly tho? You must be considered a 'pro' given your track record tho.

FMM I am so pleased that you have done so well without the need to 'cheat'. It is fantastic. We need more people in showing like you. This isn't idle chit chat and I really can't reveal who has said or who I am referring too as it is really 'naughty' that I have spoken out like this. You surely...

This was ladies side-saddle and they were required to give a ride and individual show. I think that it was a hard class to judge but could have been fairer.

trouble is if I tell you how i get the info, some people will know who I am and I still compete. I just want to know how many people will stand up and go against this behaviour and is it really worth it. Don't get me wrong, I love showing and not every time is unfair or every horse drugged...

Freshman - I understand what you are saying, and no its not helpful but I have spoken about something I feel strongly about. I have a Dartmoor that I show. If i report these owners, then do you really think that my pony will be placed well in the future? I think not. Also, I have just spoken out...

I watched a side saddle class at RIHS and the coloured cob, lovely as it was, napped sideways with the judge and nearly ran her into the hedge jump!! A little grey cob that only did a minor mishap in the initial go round, gave a gr8 ride, gr8 show, some one handed, got placed below the coloured...

Cowboy hat would be ok for local. you really want to look for a felt trilby. have a look on ebay. Brown gloves and a brown whip/cane. gd luck. Same for ladies. If you get into an evening performance, black tie for men and flouncy dress and foofy hair for women.

Ear to the ground I suppose. It amazes me cos everyone knows it goes on and no-one does anything about it. These people abuse these horses in this way and they still win. Where has their sanity gone? Been winding me up all week. Pheeww

oh, dont get me started on measuring. They now are bleeding the horses to make them lethargic. Remember this is for a rosette and a prize of less than £100 normally. Also, the horses are not even sold for mega bucks. Top show horse for about £30K. Pocket money compared to eventer or dressage of...
