    Hacking chums or not?

    I need another option. I love hacking out alone, and I love hacking out in good company. Can’t really choose between the options.

    Rain Ranting Thread

    Just typical. We have 4 nights away at Walberswick on the Suffolk coast. Looks just awful all week after a lovely weekend. Think we’ll get blown away!

    i need to hear good things about big horses, 17hh+

    My 17hh TBx gelding is 24. He had a successful career eventing, and since retiring from that has done very well at endurance. He’s easy to do, beautifully behaved on the ground (mostly 😜) and a joy to take out and about. He eats a lot! And when excited he feels VERY big. I wouldn’t swap him.

    Galloping horses/carousels

    It’s near me, I’ve been several times in the last few years with my grandsons. The galloper is lovely. The steam museum bit is rather run down. The 3 miniature train rides are ok, young children love them. Nice gardens.

    Strangest non-riding injury

    Properly scalded foot when I somehow managed to empty boiling water into my boot instead of the bucket 😬

    What do I do now?! Spinal cord injury after a fall.

    No experience, but I admire your drive. If you want to continue being involved with horses you will find a way. Best wishes.

    Sleeping in a 3.5T?

    I camp in my 3.5. No hookup, earliest I’ve done is a frosty April. Memory foam mattress, sleeping bag, duvet, full clothing and fluffy hat. Cold but I survived. I have a gas stove and portaloo.

    Using phone when riding 😬

    https://www.horsesolicitor.co.uk/cms/documents/h-h-riding-while-using-a-mobile-phone.pdf Not illegal, there is no penalty in law. But Highway Code advice means it could be seen as contributory evidence of negligence.

    Using phone when riding 😬

    I use my phone for navigation on longer rides. I wouldn’t use it while on a road though unless it was unavoidable. I’m not sure if it’s illegal but it’s certainly dangerous, rude and gives the signal to car drivers that we are not paying attention.

    Gas in my lorry - clueless! Please help x

    Do you have a sink? The blue pipe looks like the one in my lorry, the orangebit goes in the water bottle, electric pump to sink.

    Suspected IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) but no usual symptoms?

    My boy was diagnosed with IBD in 2019 after severe wasting despite huge appetite for several months. He was treated with steroids and anti inflammatories and appeared to have fully recovered. Despite warnings that reoccurrence is likely so far nothing (🤞🤞) and he has returned to good health and...

    Dealing with Van conversion with dvla

    You don’t have to do anything. It will be described as Van (panel Van?) or similar. That’s what it should stay. I almost fell into that trap when I got mine, but research told me to leave it be. Mine is described as panel van.

    Not seat bones front bit!

    I love my K&M saddle. No one saddle will suit everyone - that goes for every make of saddle.
