Beautiful horse Chelljacobs, has he qualified under BSPA or another society? We missed RIHS last year in coloureds as mare was put in foal so will also miss this year with her.

Don't know what anyone else thinks but how about we start putting pics of our show/competitions horses on and an update of what our plans are for coming season or last years highs

Thank you, he's a stunner bless. He qualified through the BSPA. We didn't go, as it was a long journey for us and i'd only been back off holiday a couple of days before. I didn't feel we'd be ready, but I'm excited to go this year (trusting we qualify, which i'm sure we will). But having the foal will be well worth it

MRICH and Exmoor pony owner Hi, I've just started using this forum and thought I'd better introduce myself. Together with my husband, Nick, we have a small Exmoor pony herd (Holtball Exmoors - Herd 11) and our stallion standing at stud is the multi-champion, Hawkwell Versuvius 'Bear'. (You can see him as 'July' on this year's Dodson & Horrell calendar, and Google 'Hawkwell Versuvius' for his web page). We have eight Exmoor ponies, six of whom were moor bred. We have socialised a number of 'wild' foals, including our stallion, and we back them and ride them on. We had our first foals last year and, particularly as they are living in ground, we don't hot brand. My husband comes from generations of Exmoor farmers and his ancestors founded three original Exmoor pony herds, which is why we have been able to start our new herd with the ancient Herd 11 number. We also have three arab horses and they live in a herd environment with the non-breeding Exmoors - in a natural set-up that gives them free access from the pasture, to their corrall and into a large communal barn. The stallion lives with mares all year round and his youngstock (until weaning) in much the same set up and he has grown up to be sociable and ameniable. We use positive, trust-based methods of horsemanship and I obtained my MRICH in 2003, after studying with Maya Horsey, who is now Monty's head instructor at Flag Is Up. Nick and I attended Monty's five day Special Clinic in USA in August last year and we work closely with Monty, Pat, Maya and his daughter Debbie to promote his work, and his new Equus Online University - through our website, www.equinetourism.co.uk. Equinetourism.co.uk promotes equestrian activities UK and worldwide, with a commitment to good horsemanship and horse welfare. We have a directory of Monty Roberts Certified Instructors worldwide and a Monty Roberts editorial section, which is constantly evolving. It has been great to get to know Kelly and IH through her work with Exmoor ponies and we look forward to helping to promote the work of IH through Equinetourism.co.uk. IH members are very welcome to join our Equine Tourism Facebook page and promote their interests/work.

Hi, just joined the forum today. I do local level showing on my show cob and dressage at unaffiliated although planning to affiliate this year once he's back in work as he's been off due to a wither infection and had a pretty disastorous year last year due to saddles

Hi my name is Tina, I joined as an IH member a couple of days ago. Just joined the forum today, still finding my way around, DOH! I like to compete ridden show classes with Arabian horses. Have schooled and backed arabians for many years but am seeking more knowledge. Maybe trying to look too deep but have loads of questions - only in my head at this stage.

Hi, Janette here. I show at RC level, and dabble in unaff prelim dressage. I too recognise a few names on here as well - hi folks We've had a crack at affiliated showing this year, but won't be doing that again - too stressful. Winter is now upon us, and to improve our dressage is this season's target.
