Did anyone see his advert for a rider in h+h today? I'm seriously considering applying but that would mean i'd have to miss uni

Probably not a good idea to give up on uni place unless you have very good reason to think you can make a success of a competitive career!

I wonder if that means that Stuart Harvey is no longer producing the novices for him.

Not recently. Doubtless he's keeping busy - I believe he was at Addington Premier Show last week.

Hmmm...Just read the website quite thoroughly...I think he needs to proof read it a little more

Some silly typo's in there !

Didn't realise that Tim had now bought Sjarmette either ! Should be an interesting partnership to watch

Agreed. I think "horses for courses" applies - he's an ideas & technology guy as opposed to someone with an eye for detail. And I know only too well, proof reading your own copy is not as easy as doing someone else's!

Sjarmette had been sold well before HOYS but Stuart kept the ride there. Tim took her abroad soon afterwards - picked up a minor prize in Liege. Super mare - though don't know how much scope she has. Hope the partnership works out.

Completely random comment coming here but what are those stirrups he is using in the majority of his competing pictures. Look rather fancy only have one side? For safety pruposes?

A lot of the top SJ'ers use them now....they have a special clip in the sole of the boot that attaches to the stirrup iron to keep the foot and iron together. They release quickly in the case of a fall though

Cheers Rambo. Sounds like a clever design - I guessed you would need something to secure your foot otherwise it might go out the side door so to speak.
