Oh dear! Can't recall ever hearing one. Thanks for commenting Fern007. I'd definitely need it to be out of the horses' frequency range but wondered if anyone had tried this before. Seemingly not if responses are to go by.

We're constructing a large sand pit for our horses within a large barn. Inevitably our two cats are already delighted with their new toilet facility - however, we are less so! Considering buying an ultrasonic cat repellent device. Found one online that may work with both cats and equines...

Well done, must have felt incredible to be back in the saddle. Now you have the whole summer ahead of you so well- timed! How long ago was your op, suebou?

Cross tied in stable.

My mare first showed signs of asthma five years ago, aged 15. After shed loads of prednisolone tablets I decided I'd rather go down the inhaler route and purchased a Flexineb. She is allergic to grass pollens therefore requires inhalers (Ventolin and Flixotide am and pm) from around late May to...

Thank you Slinky, just found your post and will look into Dragonfly Saddlery tomorrow and will see where they're based. I've had a busy weekend so need to get back on the case again. Will bear in mind qualifications aren't everything, you're not the first to make me rethink. When I finally get...

Thank you Haniki. Another name to try, although many of their saddle clinics are fully booked so clearly very popular!

Thank you so much for this info. Baywonder, and for the recommendation. I shall have a browse of Acorn's site and give him a ring tomorrow.

Yes sbloom, I do see your point, just not something I've needed to consider before having moved from my long term fitter of nearly 30 years. A bit daunting having to begin again here. Will see if I get anymore recommendations over the next day or two and then take the leap of faith! And yes -...

Thank you Baywonder. Stephanie is a long way from me but S.Molton could be worth a try although not listed as a saddle fitter but may have to reconsider in the light of the area I'm in. Is your recommendation re. Frank Edwards from personal experience please?

sbloom I've never really considered having anyone unqualified because when 'flying blind' I suppose I've always felt a recognised qualification is a good place to start and there'd be less chance of getting a cowboy person who professes to know what he/she's doing and damaging my horse in the...

Hoping someone can recommend a qualified (and excellent!) saddle fitter in North Devon/Cornwall area (Bude and Bideford region). I have looked on Society of Master Saddlers site but would prefer personal recommendations if poss. before contacting. Seems a dearth here unfortunately - seem to all...

I second the Cubot KingKong Mini. I have sewn a cotton pocket in the lining of my hunt coat which closes with velcro to accommodate it. Perfect. ETA Sorry, a bit late to this thread. Didn't realise. Visitors have just left and I'm catching up!

Would rubber overreach boots velcro-ed on ABOVE the fetlock joint work? Unconventional perhaps but who cares.

Ah, thanks for confirming spacefaer - and Arzada, pleased to have a contact to the Tetcott at last - well done, many thanks.
