    Trailer rear door rattling

    Hey there, I know this is an old post but I have just come across it. I also have the doors but live nowhere near a Bateson dealer to have them adjust them for me. 1 is fine but the other door rattles and sits slightly lower than the other so I have to lift the whole door up to get the latch to...

    Good Riding Boots for Short Legs?

    Hey guys, I ended up getting the Kanyon Gorse X rider 2 boots, which are great but at 5'2 1/2 (very important that half), they are only just short enough for me, if my shins were 1cm shorter they would be a no go. Look like great quality though and super warm, wore them to town the other day...

    Bateson Ascot Float

    OK another couple of questions, do you think I should get the side sliding windows for a little extra air and light? I will also probably sleep in it so not sure if the 1 window at the front will cut it. Also I was thinking about a stallion guard but I see there is a couple of metal bars at...

I am looking for boots that are either mid calf or not really high, I thought cowboy (cowgirl) boots might be the way but I can't stand all the frills and embellishments they all seem to have. Does anyone...

    Bateson Ascot Float

    Maybe the Deauville would be better as the saddles aren't restricted by a box? I do love the idea of a lockable cupboard, I mostly use Australian Stock Saddles which shouldn't be much bigger than a dressage saddle, would dressage saddles fit in the Ascot tack box?

    Pain in the bum bridling new horse

    I had a horse that was the same, would throw his head up in the air and back off when I tried to put the bridle on, I used to have to stand on a saw horse to reach and if I missed getting it over both ears in 1 go I was in trouble, when I finally did get it on he wouldn't even let me untuck his...

    Great thank you. Another question does it have a roof vent? I couldn't tell on the NZ website for Bateson.

    Bateson Ascot Float

    Hi guys, I live in New Zealand and am seriously considering getting a Bateson Ascot float and am after opinions from those who have or have had one. In New Zealand we do have quite a few gravel roads so if anyone has experience with these floats on gravel I would like to know how you think they...
