Hi, I used to be a show and go jockey when I was a young man and didn't do any of the care just the riding and just over two years ago, I acquired a couple of 13.2 Ponies for my daughter aged 11. the problem that I have, is how things fit and work nearly all the products in a tack shop have little or no instructions. every time I see a how-to on the web site, I watch and learn, I would love to see an A - Z of tack and how to do. Regards Nigel

Thanks for your comment Nigel. We have been incorporating a bit of this, eg. bandaging, fitting different bits of tack (Louisa Brassey's eventing tips), various bit videos, fitting a double bridle etc. We also think it is a good idea, so let us know what you'd like to see and we'll do our best.

Hi Fiona, thanks for the feedback, boots! this one gets me every time, please tell me I am not alone, I have so many sets of boots, neoprene, leather, tendon, brushing, but what makes a good fitting boot and if the boots fit well but over heat the tendon, which is better, to boot or not to boot and if so what boots where and which boot is best?
