Yeah will get him to take a look, husband used to have an old vw camper and said gears were similar

I have recently got a little Man horse lorry, it is a K reg so pretty old. Just wondered what people's experiences of these are? Do you find them easy to drive? I'm struggling with gear changing! Thanks

You have to have a 2006 model and it has to have the 2.2 D4D engine, if it's only the 2.0 litre engine then yes it is only 1500kg.

I'm looking to sell my current L200 pickup that I tow with and want another vehicle that I can use to tow and I have been looking at the RAV4. I am having a baby in a couple of months so I will only be towing my son's 12hh pony in my ifor 505 (I'm old so passed my test in time to not need to do...

Don't know if it would work but I had to clean some mould off the fabric of a pushchair after being stored in our loft, and I used white wine vinegar. It did the trick perfectly, might be worth diluting it before putting on a saddle.

Hi I wasn't going to use the gag bit, as I am aware it isn't for showing! I can try him in a snaffle, he will be fine doing his show but I would be concerned about how strong he might get if everyone has to canter around together! He is on loan to me and his owner said he was registered...

I'm thinking of taking my 25 year old welsh section d x to a local show to do the veteran class. I assume I would turn him out as I would for m&m showing so unplaited and me in tweed. I know I don't have the correct tack, in that I only have a padded cavesson bridle, but my main 2 questions are...

Hi, whatever option I take I would need to rent a premisis, the over heads do worry me. The rug washing is less of a start up cost, especially as I already have the sewing machine! But I actually enjoy the tack shop sales and have been doing it for nearly 3 years so would seem a shame to give up...

I have been running my own online tack shop for the past few years but I am now at a point where I want to expand, and that means getting a premises. I know the area where I live does not have a local tack shop and a lot of my customers who buy off me locally are always asking when I will set up...

Thanks, yeah my son has been riding for about 3 months and will start rising trot and then goes back to sitting trot, as he thinks this is really funny! But he is pretty stable and I don't have to hold on to him and he kicks to get pony into trot. we do have a saddle with a pelham rounding as a...

Hi My son has asked to go to our local show and wants to do the mountain and moorland class (his friend is doing it so he wants too!!) He has a lovely section A and I am ok with how to turn pony and son out. What I want to ask is my son is 4 but hasn't mastered rising trot yet and will only hold...

Thanks so much for your help Cremedemonthe

Thanks, that gives me a good idea what to look for. Collection is no problem, as OH has a van with free fuel ;) I will bear in mind about the diseases on the rugs! Sounds like it's definitely worth investing in the walking foot

Yeah I'm looking at spending £150 ish, as don't want to spend a fortune and then find no one wants their rugs repaired and I don't end up using it! Thanks Bakewell for your reply, sounds like a walking foot would be best in the long term. I've been using my old singer from the 70's to fix...

Hi thanks for replies, was looking at a straight stitch one, have read walking foot is good, but more money than I want to spend, looking to spend upto £150. I have been offered a Wemsew zigzag machine. Would this be any good? also looked at brother straight stitch one. thanks
