I'll drink to that *chin chin* - I don't normally drink mid-week but we have gone through a copious amount of wine in the last few days! (My excuse is that it's good for settling the nerves!).

A week off work, horse-owner style: Day 1; horsey shopping. Day 2: Work 2 horses, shovel 1 tonne of shingle into a muddy gateway. Day 3: work 1 horse, start to spread half-tonne of ag lime in paddock (by hand). So far day 4 is looking like finishing the lime, working 3 horses and cleaning out a shed. I'm filthy, I smell bad and all my nails are broken. Loving it!

I had a pupil gelding a few years back that was seriously damaged goods, he ended up blind bolting through my yard gate and two fences breaking his leg :( And my friend has a black filly - we call her the black devil..... So my personal opinion isnt great HOWEVER i do like the type he throws... and yes they can jump.

Which should come first? Chicken or egg scenario here, but I am wanting to get back into riding, so am currently looking for grazing and a lease horse. Its hard to find grazing at the moment, which means I haven't looked at horses yet, but am I going in the right order, or should I look for a horse first and grazing after?

What sort of horse are you looking to lease?? I have one I might consider leasing out (TB, raised on West Coast though, so not fizzy, tough as, great doer, quiet but hasn't done much of anything other than hacking) rolly-poly@hotmail.com if you want more info.

I'd go for the horse first as you can usually either get the owner to keep it a bit longer while you find grazing, or find temporary grazing while you look for 'perfect' grazing. I've been looking for the right lease situation for over a year and still nothing suitable so it's just as well I didn't organize the grazing first! Hope you find something soon :)

You can always have temp grazing at my place if you get the horse before the grazing, while you look for the right grazing.

Hi there, does anyone know of anyone who sells (in NZ) either barnes buckles or safestyle stirrups - also any feedback on which is better (for show jumping) would be appreicated.

I like my barnes buckles....I'm afraid some of the safety stirrups are a bit ugly in my opinion, and many do not enable the use of flexi irons. Basically you can use the buckles with any type of stirrup,and they are pretty unobtrusive.

Personally I don't trust Barnes safety buckles to stay done up when they are meant to!! I use flexi irons with a cage in front. They may not look good for the showring but they are so safe!! I love that combination!!

SW in Puke sells Barnes buckles. I bought my safestyle stirrups in from Holland - they were cheaper than local saddlers had them at the time. I have the Barnes buckles on 3 of my Spanish saddles.

I've never had Barnes Buckles come undone unless they were supposed to!! I love them. If you google them there is a website you can buy from and they are often for sale (new) on TM.

Anyone want a Standarbred Mare? 10 years old, ex breeder (had several foals), don't know her racing history but she's from very good pacing lines though she trots in the paddock just fine (some don't), very pretty, a bit short (about 15 hands), don't know her riding history but her temperament can't be faulted so she's likely to be a piece of cake to turn into a riding horse. Owner isn't going to breed her again due to lack of time and doesn't need a riding horse so she's in need of a good home. mail me at lmalbany@hot mail.com I'll be off line for a bit so best to mail and I'll forward you his contacts.
