I've got an ali decorators step. Light enough to move about. A friend made one by cable tying milk crates together to form steps.

I always bring in when it's dark, one of my horses stresses in his stable if there's activity on the yard so I like to have mine last in. All the horses have paddocks taped off within a large field, and the main gateway can be very slippy, so another benefit of me bringing in last is not having...

Hi B, my OH has adapted bits (and pieces) for me, I'll show him what you want tomorrow (no point talking to him tonight as he's just come out the pub)! and get back to you!

How about Biggin Hill?

Mousetrap!

Can you put up electric fencing within your boundary so they get a zap if they go through your fence?

I've got one of those, very useful bit of kit. On mine you can switch between 12 and 24v.

[ QUOTE ] I'm in Brixton, so getting to Essex or North London is tricky. I've been to Trent Park before, but started going to Lee Valley instead. Still go there regularly (great place) and sometimes Dulwich Riding School too as it's fairly close to me. Maybe I'll just have to bite the...

I really thought that was my horse he was talking about.....

Is he the boy in your siggy? He's lovely..... stay strong, as I'm sure you're doing the right thing for him. xxxxx
