I dont like : TB Arabs Shetlands section A - look araby I like a horse with Bone, and I like a horse that isn't going to out smart me, or run through my legs LOL

you mum is right The Disco is the right work horse for your job so to speak. Now to ease our dads worries, tell him to look at Defenders / Discos / Classic and P38 range rovers and look at gas converted models. my Landrover Range Rover 3.9 V8 Vogue SE ( its a classic) runs on petrol and gas...

My ID and WB boys have been completely naked since end of Feb. Do what you feel is right though its your horse :-) - I personally wouldn't worry about rugging just because it is so warm, it wouldn't be nice to be all hot and sweaty - horses are designed to cope with rain ;-) they are out...

To be honest I think the original comments are pretty poor, if your at a local show, no @@@@ sherlock it will be for local people who will want to have a go and who cant do bigger events and HAVE FUN, Some people who haven't been though pony club or had a silver spoon in their mouth only get...

Arco do work wear HI VIZ good quality - and at sensible prices if that helps any one, you can get all sorts of PPE, etc at a fraction of the price of tack shops x

My OH had same issues lovely, Hes not a rugby player ( far too soft) but hes 6'8 and 17 stone most of the time. my two horses can easily carry 20stn with no bother, shame your not nearer Could use a rugby lad to help me with some fencing LOL. Some times your best off visiting a school to let...

I'd say as my gut feeling - grin and bear it - Im in the same predicament plus one of my big boys has a foot abscess - If your feeding bales of hay - they will be grumpy but they wont be that hungry really - this weather will soon be gone I promise ;)

This is my ID Mac, he used to event - but when I bought him several year ago now I promised him a quiet life - we walk and wobble pub to pub ;) We do the odd local show / dressage test but mainly happy hacking :-)

Landrover all the way - Not that I'm bias or anything, but if you are friendly with some one who can tinker - deff worth its weight in gold. I just got my self an old rangerover classic 3.9 V8 ( dont get frightened) and its gas converted so its pretty cheap to run and tax etc, anything up to an...

My big grey loves tea and has his own flask and mug. he will also pick out the fried eggs first in a mix of haribo, and both of my boys like my home made tea bread and will mug you for it and they both like a nice cider at the pub after hacking :D spoiled ponies LOL

AH brill thanks for the replies - big issue - I'm entering in ebay searches western stirrups and not fenders haha! Not found anything suitable just yet but I will keep looking now you have pointed me in the right direction - I will post a pic of the OH posing as a cowboy next time he wobbles...

its not the end of the world - I took on a WB gelding with nervicular got my OH to hack on at the weekends etc... as long as your upfront with a potential buyer / loaner - you and them can make the decision. as it turns out for us - my OH gelding is sounder then my big ID most the time, and is...

hello, I have a daft question, my OH rides in a Torsion treeless saddle and he now wants western stirrups for hacking about in. Now I am having 2 issues, 1) I cant find the special leather + irons for sale and dont know where to look ( just tried ebay) 2) my OH is 6ft 8 and has a...

I was there on the sunday and the table top looks hookin massive to me ;-)

forget the estate - you can pick up a really nice p38 rangerover for that. new shaped one but from P reg, get an auto 4.6 petrol - look for one already gas converted it'll be magic and easy to tow and reasonable on fuel - 4.4 and below have head gasket problems xx I have just swapped my ford...
