    Does anyone tow with a Hyundai Santa Fe?

    I have a Santa Fe just now. It's a nice car to drive and not too gutsy on fuel. Prior to that I had the older style Kia Sorento (which was a fantastic towing vehicle). I have also towed with a Discovery, a Landcruiser and Defender. The Santa Fe is ok for occasional towing. It feels a...

    Paddock grazing help

    If I have read the description properly, you have a paddock which has been strip grazed and the horse now has access to the full field. Weight of the horse is acceptable. The grass will not grow very much more this year, so you won't really have anything to strip graze into over the winter...

    All about Bridles!

    A lot of wide overly padded headpieces actually assert more pressure than they relieve. A lot of the high end brands are mass produced in factories and the quality isn't as it should be for the cost either. Lots of independent bridle makers can make something truly fitted to your horse with...

    Field shelter design. Size of openings?

    Finally got my own wee perfect private grazing/yard. I'm in the process of ordering a field shelter so b can winter out with the cozy shelter to hide in if he chooses. I have ordered a 24'x12' for him and his wee pal which will be set on hardcore with rubber matting and a bed of some...

    Saddle fitter qualifications.

    Just wondering what people generally thought of as 'qualified'. There seems to be a lot of fitters advertising as 'qualified' but they are referring to alternative certificates from society of master saddlers such as saddle company trained or other brand trained. I just learned today about...
