Where is best to get Le Mieux (saddlecloths & ears) from with discount?

Wow, these prices are amazing! For something with no competition record too... **toddles off the brush the Irish one and get her advertised** Haha! I'm seeing £££££

Thinking I might need to get myself some of these as mine have seen better days.

Are these what you need...

I used to feed 2 and muck out both stables round them whilst they ate, then turn 5 horses out (no rugs changes and fields about 300-500 yards away), get two evening feeds ready, fill and tie up two haynets and sweep up in 45 mins. So I think an hour is fairly reasonable if no rugs changes and...

Yikes!!! What do you tow with that!?! My trailer is 1000kg before I put anything in it. I wouldn't dream of towing with such an under powered vehicle!! It's not the towing you need to worry about.... it's the ability to stop when you need to!! I have towed with a Freelander with one horse and...

Being given a few options for XC sets. Which do you prefer? (Purple would be with stars not unicorns) Problem with purple is that the lady can't quite match the purple shades together, so hat silk is a bit of a different shade of purple.
