    Driving bitless

    I worked really hard on the halt training for my boy in the carriage and when I had a lesson I wasn't allowed to say whoa as his brakes were too good. He will come to dead halt just off my voice, handy when your brakes are better then the cars

    Opinions on breeding your own

    Will a 3 yr old grow much more...

    Think my baby has some big genes hiding in her breeding, 3 on the 1st of April and measures in at 13.3. Mum was 12.2 and dad was 13.2, most guesses are coming out at 14.1/ 14.2. She is cob x New forest and is going through the lanky stage at the moment.

    Camera for hacking

    I got a good camera from sport-cam I think? Very reasonable at 80 and it works well. I do a lot of carriage driving on busy roads and wouldn't be without it now.
