    NFU, I clipped someone's car and my sister took out the lockers on a fence!! Both claims were settled promptly, no increase in premium and no loss of NCB. We broke down once and recovery service was excellent.

    It's going to affect a lot of people. Anyone who rides a horse for someone else or makes their living from horses will require it .

    So if I took someone else's horse in my 7.5 ton lorry I would need one?

    Reading about this in H&H, there are a few grey areas. Does this mean that anyone travelling horses other than their own will need this to be legal? Does it apply to only HGV's or all lorries?

    WWYD- Broken hoof pastern axis & crumbling feet.

    Change to a good remedial farrier. When the foot balance improves hopefully they will crumble less. Also look at his diet to improve horn quality.
