Thanks Ester :) It's up for £2k so it's VERY cheap! Yep, I'm in the 3.5 ton FB group, seems to be the best place to find boxes at a reasonable price although have looked on Preloved too. 400kg payload?! What was it made with, lead?! Yeah, I won't be buying anything without getting it weighed...

I'm starting to think this wasn't a good idea haha! Mike007, it's petrol lol...have enquired about a 1997 diesel box (With power steering). Only thing is it's not compliant with the London emission zone which I unfortunately live in (Luckily my yard isn't within this zone). Starting to think...

Thanks guys, it's all food for thought! I've got a maximum budget of £3.5k so can't afford anything that's new.

My Dad won't be able to inspect it as lives about 250 miles away from where the box itself is whereas we live much closer. Has 9 months MOT but buyer has receipts for all work which has been done recently. Have asked about the payload but she thinks it is on the documents. Unless she can tell...

OH and me are looking at a 32 year old 3.5 ton Bedford horse box tomorrow and people at my yard think I'm bonkers. Has no power steering and a heavy rear ramp but has done hardly any miless (<50k), has had numerous new mechanical parts including timing belt and exhaust system and is very...

Thanks guys, glad it's not just me that has been waiting around. Their products are great - I received numerous bits and pieces from them for Christmas as presents so I have no idea how long they took to arrive then but I'm starting to get fed up. I can sympathize if they have been inundated...

I've been waiting for nearly 3 weeks for a hi-viz harness from V-Bandz without a single reply to any email that I have sent. Really unimpressed with the service from there. Has anyone else experienced such slow delivery times? I refuse to buy products from Equisafety after the Polite Notice...

I know we have a few users who are from Spain and the US so hopefully one of them will be able to help you, unfortunately, I don't have any first hand experience at this :( Your girl is very lucky to have such a thoughtful owner.

My Mum's friend moved her Fresian to Florida in the states successfully and she is obviously a bit of a heat magnet as is jet black! They do adjust although it takes time. They have barn type stabling with fans (Also helps when mucking out!), all horses get sprayed with water when coming in and...

Could you not clip her? That might make things cooler for her or stable her during the day and turnout at night when it's cooler? You may find that it's a more standard arrangement for horses in countries which are hotter. I would personally fully clip her out and see how she gets on - you could...

I used a Prolite girth and it rubbed my horse so badly she ended up having to have a week off while the sores healed thanks to the horrible, hard material. Awful things. I've got a Fairfax now (Brought second hand for £100 from an equine car boot sale although you see them all the time on eBay)...

I am in love with your horse - she is SO similar to my girl except mine is piebald. Even way they move is similar too. I joined the group and have had a browse and there are tons on there that I like the look of and several in my budget and in the size, cut and colour that we need. I'm tempted...

What type do you have the London on? Thanks for your perspectives too - the Cheyenne looks too western for my liking considering we do so much dressage, I prefer the more traditional look :) LHIS, thanks, I'll have a look at this! Have ridden a friends horse in a Solution and loved it although...

Thank you :) I know the floppy feeling - that was EXACTLY how I felt in the Fhoenix! I had absolutely no lower leg stability at all and my position and lower leg is generally very good! I've looked at the FlexEE and really like the fact that it looks like a traditional saddle as some...

Agree 100000% about not going to uni. 90% of my friends who went to uni and did nothing, wishy washy subjects and are now struggling to find work. Fair enough if you want to become a doctor, nurse, dentist etc but I wouldn't go to uni if you paid me!
