Having seen a few absolute horror shows on the road recently I organised a proper trailer mechanic to come and look at a selection of trailers. These are trailers in regular use but the list of issues that were found has really prompted me to wonder how many trailers are on the roads that...

Sorry South of Scotland!

Now being back to torrential rain with unridable fields - I am starting to thinking if I want to ride/ compete in the winter I need an arena. We do not have huge amounts to spend but we do have a good local drainage company and I have a contact for stone. It is the surface that I am stuck with...

I have a wintec endurance - Love it. It has saved my bacon more times that I can count as the knee blocks really save yo in a spook. I have done 1000's of miles in mine on 2 different horses.

This popped up on my facebook today and I must admit I have never heard anything like this before. I am naturally skeptical about 'alternative therapies' but with a herd of mis-fits and a broken husband I am always open to new ideas. Does anyone practice restoring energy fields? Has anyone...

Thanks for the ideas. I am off to go and have a look!

I have done 1000's of miles in my easyboot epics and I am still a big fan but they are a bit of a faff to put on. I have recently bought 2 pairs of flexboots and in general I am pretty happy. The gaiters are flimsy but they do not seem to rub and they are quick and easy to put on. I have had a...

I need some inspiration/ wise recommendations. I am doing a huge amount of washing as I do the horses straight from work and thus every night my work clothes are that lovely horsey fragrance! Thankfully my work clothes are pretty informal. Who uses a boiler suit/ onesie/ waterproof...

I have a horse that is 95% fine and 5% demon. She can do a 180 degree spook with no warning and my big knee rolls have saved me more times that I care to count. I can't imagine live without them!

No - vetting offered but not requested.

Thanks for the replies. Echoing my own thoughts. As anyone knows with horses - 6 weeks is a long time!

I sell so infrequently now I am wondering what the norm is? I had a viewing for my horse in early Jan. People seemed keen but i heard nothing after the viewing so I assumed it was a no - fine. I hadn't plan to really advertise until spring when prices hopefully pick up. However they have...

All fingers and toes crossed for you.

Have you tried querying this with them? I have several horses insured with the same company. The past two years they have tried to hit me with quite hefty rises despite no claims. I queried it and they immediately gave a reduction.
