Riding centres that offer equine specific courses are a suitable alternative for those individuals that might not want to attend college, or maRead More...

lauren@anythingequine.co.uk — Wed, 02 May 2012 15:36:01 +0100

As a Badminton newbie I was looking forward to going to cross country day this year and was gutted as I'm sure many of you when I heard of it being cancelled.

lauren@anythingequine.co.uk — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 13:57:55 +0100

I've had a lovely conversation this morning with the Mark Davies Injured Riders Fund.

Bridget does an amazing job fitting saddles to those of you who find generic saddle sizes non-accomodating (calling William Fox-Pitt!!!!). The largest tree she has made was 19" for a 17.3 hunter and cut an extra inch forward in the leg flaps as his rider was particularly tall so no request is turned away! It's been great to

talking to British manufacturers wRead More...
