I had this thought a few years ago. what I decided to do was reduce my horses value to pretty much nothing then max him out on vet fees. This therefore reduces your premium but keeps you safe should you need vet cover

Like the others have said you need to get your local registered saddle fitter out. you will find your nearest one at http://www.mastersaddlers.co.uk/ this is the society of master saddlers web site. It is quite common when horses begin to loose their winter coat that small patches (rubs)...

this kind of happened to me. Put my horse on loan for a year while i was away and I gave the loanee the months notice like we had agreeded in the contract and when it came to me coming to collect him she either didnt answer her phone or kept putting it off. I eventually went to her yard while...

i can make bespoke bridles if you are interested

if its almost brand new then i would contact the manufacturer as they should be able to fix it under the warranty. if it is an older saddle then its prob not worth replacing the tree as it is a big job. hope this helps
