Thanks very much for the replies :-) we have one of those saddle stands already so could take on a trial run when we're going out tomorrow or Sunday. I do like the look of the saddle pods as well, is it this kind of thing -...

Hi all, I have looked back on the forum but would still be grateful for advice on the best way to transport tack in an Ifor Williams 505 trailer? We are taking 2 horses away for a week's holiday at the seaside along with the dog and three teenagers and even with two cars there is a vast list of...

Thanks very much for getting back to me :-) that's really helpful. Out of interest, how much does the servicing cost roughly?

Thanks very much for your reply. It's been serviced regularly, most recently last year I think, and had all new tyres a few months ago, but has been standing for a few months now the owner has bought a lorry. Apart from this issue, it was in great condition. Thanks

Hi, We just viewed a 2006 Ifor William HB505 trailer which is in great condition except ... When viewing from the back ramp, looking down the left hand side of the trailer, by the furthest back wheel, the panel is coming away from the frame as shown in the photo above. The panel is not soft...

Hello, We are looking to buy a trailer to take our two out in - one 15hh Arab x ID but mainly arab so he is quite fine, the other 14.3 appaloosa x Section D. Our estate can pull 1800 kg and I would guess both the horses weigh about 475 - and was thinking of getting a Bateson trailer. If we go...

Hi everyone, thanks for thinking of me and sorry for the belated reply! Our mare has gone to a new home, in December she went to a very experienced lady on loan for her to decide whether she could work with her. She'd had similar horses before and wanted a challenge. It's been hit and miss...

Thank you! I think it's going to be a long time before we know whether we are on the right lines, probably a few months, but I'll update when I feel like we know one way or another whether things are working out.

Thanks, that is really encouraging. I wish we had checked the saddle way earlier but we didn't but at the same time, the saddle fitter thought it had been ill fitting for a long time probably before she came to us, and I think her issues were well established. Well done to you for sticking with...

She has had physiotherapy, in fact she's seen two now to check, they couldn't find any issues or soreness. but thanks for the suggestion.

Well - she is still with us. It turned out the saddle was a very poor fit (away too big so would have been lying wrong and causing pressure in the wrong places, poor thing) so that would have been causing her pain every time someone sat on her. We had a smaller saddle fitted to her, but although...

She would make a good field ornament - she's very pretty and very good in all ways but ridden! Heading to the wilds of Scotland early tomorrow and not sure if I will have internet access so I definitely won't be updating the post for a while.... hope you all have a good few days.

Thanks for getting in touch, no news yet, but I'll update the post when there is anything! Thanks everyone for being so kind and supportive, it means a lot.

Making the decision to PTS an obviously infirm and probably suffering cat or dog is something I found hugely painful so I'm sure you're right if it comes to that with a horse who seems healthy and enjoying life it will feel unbearable. I'm still hoping it might not come to that. It must be so...

Hello everyone, I'm feeling bad that my initial post has led to a bit of stress on the forum. I am really touched at the number of people who've taken the time to give me advice on this topic and that youve been so considerate of my feelings. 'Npage123' contacted me offlist to reassure me that...
