Thanks for answers good to get an idea of single horse owners, I organise vaccinations for over 100 horses at work and our vet was saying they don't send reminders out anymore at their practice to other yards and owners so just doing some research. thank you 😊

I know some vets send reminders and some don't and its a nightmare when you have to start again because you forgot to check your passport sooner so just a quick research question to see how many of you if you had the option would pay a small fee eg £5 a year to receive a vaccination reminder by...

Hi, I am looking for a saddle that has a long tree point, i've seen a stubben saddle that says it has and I just wondered if anyone else knew what other brands have longer tree points? Thanks

Thanks for the replies everyone, it seems x-trail has a lot of fans, my OH works at Nissan as a mechanic and he seems to have another opinion about them but he doesn't own 1 and has no towing experience. Having spoken to a few people locally about freelanders it seems that they aren't as bad as...

Off my last post it seems freelanders are out of the question for towing so can you please suggest what to get for towing a ifor HB510 and 1 17.2 ID about 660kg?! I have all my B+E class 1 and 2 so that's not a problem I just want to try and find as low engine size as poss. Thanks :-)

Just wondered if ne1 knew why all diesel freelanders have max tow weight of 1800kg but the XDI spec has max of 2000kg?! I have 17.2 ID but will be pulling him on his own in a 510 or 401 so can anyone tell me what they think of their freelanders please?? Thanks :-)

I have just bought a second hand Albion SL MM in 18" but I do not like the seat very much it feels shallow, can someone please tell me what the MM means and is the SLK the same sort of tree fit but with a deeper seat? If so I think I would prefer the deeper seat because I have long legs and...

I agree its about the riders hands etc I just meant some bits like single jointed ones can "jab" horses mouth unlike the multi jointed ones. Thanks for the replies :-)

I currently use a loose ring french link snaffle and wanted to know is this the softest bit you can get or is it harsh as I have been told they can be? I am looking for a soft bit but one that will still allow good use if he started to pull (he does wen following others that are infront!!)

When you are viewing the horsebox what is the best type of flooring in the horse area under the matting? I'm guessing wood is no good?? If I went to view a few do I need to take a horsebox professional with me or just a general mechanic??

Thanks for the advice :-) mga4ever - yes it is the orange one I have seen it on eBay it's done 205k not 230k (my mistake sorry) when you say the price is OTT for the quality so far is it not done to a very good standard? Thanks.

I meant it has living area it's just not been done up!

I have seen a T reg conversion for sale for £3000 it has horse area done but don't think any living. It had 230,000 miles on it, would you advise to buy a lorry that's been converted? Also is 230,000 a lot of mileage for the price? I have seen an M reg box with only 77,000 miles at £3000 and...

I've just started my own pet sitting business including horse care and a mobile hot horse wash which is basically a unit and gas bottle which converts cold water to warm water and my service is to go round and wash peoples horses for them, the only problem is the insurance I am with Pet Business...

After going backwards and forwards about 20 or 30 times deciding what to do regarding horse transport I have FINALLY decided that I cannot afford to run a 4x4 doing the amount of miles I have to do weekly and so I am going to get a horsebox. The question is with the budget of around £3k what...
