Just had another look and it's got the hallmark of 'Silver' in it.. Will have a Google and see what i can find.. Thanks all!

No name or dates on either of mine :(

Hey all, I've recently been gifted two gentleman's hunt whips and I'm really intrigued to know more about them. On both furrells there's the fox emblem. Does anybody know what make this is?

We have our Clydesdale's on a TopSpec balancer, can highly recommend it. Although yes, it is expensive it lasts a good few months and so that's where your money is saved.

Clydesdale's aren't given the credit their due, many people see them as clumsy large 'cart' horses. Yes, they're a good draft breed and can be driven but they also make fantastic riding horses which many people refuse to acknowledge. They're a docile breed, inquisitive, quick to learn and every...

Having driven a fair variety I personally would always choose 4 wheels over 2. A much smoother ride, can take more passengers/picnics and you don't have to panic too much about balancing like you do a 2 wheeler. Brakes are always ideal and its better to have them and not need them than vice...

Unfortunately a very well known stunt rider. He has several of their own stallions and deems it acceptable to punch them in the face. I'm all for firm handling, but not punching them in the face..

Flight... And with a Clydesdale it's not always good fun...

As a racer, i'd be interested to see if she's in the habit of putting her tongue over the bit. This can lead to problems driving if she does :)

Im really fortunate to have worked with the well known TV company on a few productions, riding and driving with a few more lined up. Blessed to work with people that worked on 'Cinderella' 'War Horse' and tonnes of other bits. Film work isn't as glamorous as it seems. TV producers are usually...

All of ours have been exercised that way. If they're not safe in traffic they're not taking onto the roads. 90% are more than fine and don't bat an eyelid. :)

Yep, that's correct Amymay Below is a photo from a recent trip to France. The horse on the right matches the stride to my ridden horse.

I've been taught the military way, and the way for training to ride postilion on a carriage. The horse is lead on my right side, with bridle and reins or a posting rein, which is effectively a coupler chain and leader. This means that equal pressure is applied both sides when riding into the...
