For me May is month of two halves: on the one hand it’s about saying goodbye to winter rugs and on the other about preparation for the onslaught of summer flies, healthy hooves and bathing my horse. With that in mind, here are the jobs I'm doing this month...

You can feel it. You can smell it. Spring is in the air. It’s highly likely that we’ve still got some cold and/or wet weather to come but, for the best part, the end is nigh and it won’t be long before we’re all shedding our layers permanently. With that in mind, here are the five horsey jobs I'll be doing during April...

For many equestrians the official start of Spring on Monday 20th March is overshadowed by the prospect of March Winds followed by April Showers! So this month’s Must Haves include something for wind, rain and spring!

Finally... spring is (nearly) here! Longer days are here and with it, more riding! Ready for it?

I've just added Noble Outfitters to my website as a new brand for you. And the initial feedback from some of you is great, thank you!!

And it got me thinking, you may be interested in hearing about why I choose the brands I do for you.

So I've put together a few reasons why I think Noble Outfitters is a brand you should consider when making your next equestrian purchase.

Have you clipped yet? Before you do reach for those clippers, do you know what's the best clip for your horse? If you make the wrong choice, you could end up spending a lot of money to keep your horse warm.

Nice and simple and it could save you some money too!

And do post some pics of your horse, before and after the clip please!!!

Despite the best efforts of September, autumn is officially here.

Typical weather usually means many changing seasons in the space of a day. You blast yourself with heat when you get in the car in the morning to go the yard and by lunch time you’re sweltering at +20C.

For this reason I think a gilet’s an essential item to own. Mine get lots of use throughout the year, e.g. when it’s on the cool side in the changeable seasons of autumn or spring and as an extra layer of defence in the winter.

I've found lots of great new gilets for the new season and I thought you might like to take a look at a few of them.
