    7.5 Horsebox Query - Should I shot blast and reseal?

    Just had a word with my OH. (HGV mechanic for about a gillion years). He said not to bother. Choice is yours of course. With a vehicle of that age, there is bound to be some surface rust on the cross members. If the garage was not happy, they would not have issued a pass.

    BHS Exams

    This post was really interesting to read, as I had always thought that it was just my imagination. 40 odd years ago, when I took the BHSAI, I couldn't help but feel on occasions, that if your "face didn't fit", you didn't stand a chance. Seems my instincts were correct!

    Removing hair from numnahs

    Rubber gloves. The washing up type. Give the pad a good firm stroking, and the tacky rubber pulls hairs out a treat. Works well on my western saddle pads.

    Joint supplement

    Sadly no, I think the damage had gone too far. We've both had knee replacements since. That's not to say that it wouldn't work for you though!

    Pros and cons of a Jack Russell

    Dirty, destructful and disobedient. Having said that, we adored them. We had a bitch that we bred from, and kept her first born (a boy). They are feisty, single minded but loyal. A constant source of entertainment. Just don't imagine you're going to succeed in any obedience classes! Agree with...

    Identify these plants please?

    Not sure if it's any help - a colleague at work has an app on his phone called Picture This. If he takes a pic of a plant it'll tell him what it is.
