I've got a 53 plate auto Sorento - had it 6 years now, tows like a dream and towing capacity is 3.5. It has done almost 175,000 miles and although you need to be careful regarding bodywork rusting, and several common issues (fuel tank delamination and rear axle corrosion) if you get a good one...

I don't think so looking at his age - it happened in the autumn and he was a lot younger. Seems there might be a lot of it around! :eek:

Mine live out, but on work days I'm there at 7am to feed and hay. Weekends and days off around 9am. Some owners rock up around 11am, but all horses live out. Lots are looking longingly for hay though in winter. :(

Not witnessed personally, but some friends of mine came across a naked rambler! :oops:

Thanks everyone - messages sent to those who have offered to look.

Hello there. I know very little about Welsh D breeding. I've been told that my mare is really well bred with old fashioned blood lines and that you don't get many like that these days! Is there anyone knowledgable on here that could take a look at her passport and let me know what they think? If...

I love Horseware rugs for my chunky mare. I've got a 200g high neck Rhino, then a 100g Amigo and a no fill Amigo. I was using a 100g liner with her no fill Amigo until recently when it started slipping round at the back - this is despite her having worn it for a couple of years with no issues...

I would say so - although I'm not sure how useful it was. :)

I registered my email address and watched the webinar (which was free) and was then offered a follow up call, but haven't taken up that offer. I imagine you are then given all the information about what they can offer and the cost of mentoring during that phone call.

I use a metal IBC crate, but I tie haynets to the sides as the crate is pretty deep and difficult for the horses to reach over and eat the hay from the base - do you have big horses or do you find a lot of hay at the bottom gets wasted?

She doesn't really - she's not shod - I've already removed that pressure by cancelling the farrier on Monday! No idea- it was worth a try though. Well it was before I had decided not to bother having her feet done. I've decided just to chill with her. We are both happier. She follows me around...

I know. It's just such grotty weather to do this, and apart from the Christmas holidays it is either dark when I'm there, or I have no time as I need to get to work. She is definitely psychic - she knows the minute I have the intention of catching her! I do try to have these moments with her on...

Yes a friend of mine has had Max out and I've been to a couple of his clinics too - if it works then I am happy to spend that much on fixing the problem as otherwise I will have to sell her for peanuts! She was really sweet this evening - we had a real moment together in the field. I was poo...

Surely I would need a prescription to get sedatives? Trust is a huge issue. I'm not so worried about my own safety being trapped in a small area with her - I'm concerned she will panic, particularly in a pen made from electric fencing, and I have no idea how she will react. My other mare I've...

My concern re sending her away is that I may well still have the same issue when she comes back to me! So I would rather work alongside someone than pay a lot of money not to have the issue solved (she was the same with her previous owner so surely it's not just me?) I know deep down she is not...
