Have you ever wondered why, no matter how much you try to improve your horse's way of going, it's a constant uphill struggle? I did until I found out the saddle I was using was constantly working against us. What I didn't expect was, once we found a comfortable saddle, other things changed too. My horse became more comfortable and compliant to ride and train even when he wasn't wearing it. Looking back, I now also realise that most of the horses I have ridden since childhood were being affected by uncomfortable saddles. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. It's true, there are other things that can prevent a horse going at his best but the saddle is often the last thing to be considered when perhaps it should be one of the first. I hope you will take this brief guide to heart and seriously compare it's contents to the behaviour of your own horse and ask yourself, is he trying to tell you something?

Selling your house and/or buying another is statistically one of the most stressful events in your life, so anything that can save time and make that process just a little easier has got to be a help. This booklet walks you through all the questions you will have to answer as well as the information and documents you will be required to provide to your solicitor at the outset. Often, as a conveyancing matter progresses, so much time is wasted while correspondence asking for information flies between solicitors and clients. When you are in the middle of moving house with a million and one other things to think about, having to call in to see your solicitor with some document or information he has requested is something you can do without. The author was prompted to write this publication in an effort to help property owners after having first hand experience in this field and hopes you find it of value. The procedures in this booklet apply to England and Wales only.
