    "Rescuing" horses from auctions

    Just seen their latest begging post on facebook. Horse prices are the highest they have ever been, how they are not making money selling is a complete mystery to me.

    Horse won't go on my new horsebox

    Trailer - drawbar noise

    If one of the towballs has been used a lot it can be worn down a tiny bit and cause a rattle as it moves inside the tow hitch, try a really big gob of thick grease on it. If its silent for a bit and comes back you've narrowed it down to the towball. I bought my 401 trailer and the owner...
