Not far from my place, so sad to lose such a beautiful horse in such tragic circumstances.

Diolch :)

I went on to google maps and street view, doesn't look good and so sad. I wonder what other yards I often worked at have shut down. I'm going to Tandridge Priory stables, I know they are still going strong and I look forward to seeing them all again. I did LOADS in Surrey, Sussex, Kent and out...

Yes, I did that before I posted and that was why I was wondering if she's still going or not.In 2016 I was still in Caterham and I had done some work for her just before I left. I have her home address if she still lives there and maybe swing round when I go up to see if she's there still...

Everything Sbloom has said and then some! I've been a saddler (old school) for 37 years or thereabouts. We learnt saddle fitting in cordwainers college along with flocking, saddle making, bridle making, lorinery, harness making and more back in 1987. Then, it was all under the term "Saddler", we...

Does anyone know if Sandra is still going? I was their saddler doing repairs and saddle fitting/flocking on site and left the area to live in Wales in 2016. I'm coming back up to Surrey next month and would like to swing round to see them to see how they all are but I can't seem to find any info...

Yes, see if your local saddler will make one, we get asked to make all sorts of things in all sizes. Remember making an arab filly show slip in 3/8" rolled leather, did my eyes is as it was so small! And a 16" girth for a tiny pony, plus 66" long reins and 68" girth for a Belgian draught mare in...

Looks like a snowhill (equestrian wholesaler) indian rubbish. I have seen these sort of saddles at yards when out fitting saddles and the poor client was fleeced 500 quid for it and told it was best English leather and English made in Walsall. Her Husband threw a wobbly when I pointed out what...

As all of above, we had 5 at work used to milk them every day, nice and calm but also have been to stables to fit saddles etc and the resident pygmy goats jumped in to the back of my jeep and started eating my flock and my coat! Just out of interest, the strangest thing I have had to make in the...

I'm further over than you but there is very little hacking here. Have you tried joining the Carmarthenshire riders group on facebook, I'm on there and they do organise regular meet ups and hacking, someone more local to you may know of somewhere you can go. Here...

Yes, nesting in my barn, fly out over my head as I go in. Last year they were so hot and were literally hanging out of the nest like the photo further up and I went out every couple of hours, climbed up a ladder and sprayed them with cool water, it did the trick and they retracted back in and...

I've made things like that for people in the past :)

I'll PM you advice on your mould :)

Yes, it was ridiculous as I was being even more careful on what I use but it just kept going up and up and up. I notice they rarely come down if ever, as quickly, sheer greed isn't it

One of my female friends owns and runs a dog and pet sitting service here in West Wales, her rates are on her website here, might give you some idea but I think prices here tend to be lower than in England https://www.pet-watch.co.uk/
