Thank you

I'm looking for a 3.5ton box. I have seen an add from hemingways horseboxes. Does anyone have any experience with them. Are the boxes well made, safe etc. The floor is composit, which is made of plastic. I haven't heard of this before and again any experiences Thanks

Does anyone else have issues getting bits to fit with the micklem? I brought a new snaffle and the rings are larger than the old one. I would say they are normal size, but the old snaffle has much smaller rings. I can't get the straps that attach the bit any higher and if I do the cheek piece up...

Thank you, that was my thinking. I know them through as a friend of a friend and they have said the seller is a honest person. The horse has been in full work since the vetting and then seen by their vet. When I looked up their vet it's a lameness specialist so I would think they would find...

Thanks everyone, would you use the original vet or go for a different one?

Hi, I saw a lovely horse, he is 6. ticked all my boxes. But he failed the vetting, on a slight hind lameness, vet noted a asymmetrical hind. The vet even said how lovely a horse he was, just perfect in every other way. We trotted him up at the viewing and rode him, hacked him no side of any...

Thanks everyone, think you might be right.

Hi all I am in the process of purchasing a new horse. I rang an insurance company and they said they won't quote for a horse over £5k without a 5 stage vetting. I had only planned on 2 stage, the horse is 6,he had a full vetting in July and I have been sent the report. Has anyone found an...

Thanks will have a look at the guards you suggested

Hi I am looking for suggestions on a guard to put across the back of the front seats in my car. I don’t have a very big boot and for 2 medium size dogs I don’t think it’s big enough so was going to put the back seats down to make the space bigger. Any suggestions on a guard or something to...

Thanks for all your replies. My ex and see each other at work everyday so I would have to see him and talk to him what ever we do with the dogs. To be honest it’s only the dogs I miss and we can get on. I do understand that new partners maybe an issue. My biggest issue of finding...

I think that’s my worry. As I work full time and have a horse I can’t have a dog of my own. It worked so well when we were together and could share the looking after. It must be hard on the dogs now as they get less company and I feel guilty about that. I used to work one day a week...

Hi I’m after some advice. My ex and I split up about 7 weeks ago. The dogs live with him and will continue to do so. I miss them so much and would love to still see them if possible but I don’t want to do anything that won’t be in the best interest of the dogs. My question is has anyone shared...

Sam Castle in Eastry Kent is very good. Look up castle stud, she is also on facebook. Does quite a bit of backing and sells a small number of top class show jumpers a year.

Hi Can anyone suggest a saddle bag that will fit a 17" dressage saddle? I need to transport it to and from that stables but I want to try and protect my car from the dirt! Thanks Michelle
