Road planings and stone hardcore are your friend. Spending a couple of hunderd quid getting the access areas, gateways, etc filled with hardcore was the best thing I did. It redcued my actual encouters with mud by 80%.

Resurrecting this thread a couple of years on as I am interested in how the yard played out?

We used to pay £80 per month for 2 acres with water included

Definitely this. The existing concrete would form a stable sub base, then clean drainage stone with perforated pipe laid, and the normal arena membrane and surface on top of that.

Not the cheapest option but I use a GoPro, streamed wirelessly to my phone. (Plugged into a USB battery pack for longer journeys). The advantage is that I then also have a GoPro to use.

I have had a ReoLink Go working fine for over 2 years. the SIM card was a Vodaphone data only SIM that came with the camera. Have a shop around for data only SIMS, mine was about £4 per month if I recall. The main point is picking a provider that had good signal coverage for the camera location...

We are near Worcester and every year take our Pony Club branch down the M5 to Berrow Sands. just south of Weston Super Mare. Its excellent for a good canter, big open sands and horsebox parking on the beach.

He was the 5th we saw, I am clear why the previous 4 weren't right, and he is absolutley perfect! (Well, as perfect as Welsh Warmblood crosses can be, he has his moments of drama!!)

Yes. we use them, they are great, certainly stay in place and don't need to be particularly tight. They also wash well and still look like new. Here is our Ben modelling them for you!

Yes, we know someone who has a pony on working livery there and it seems to be working out fine so far (Its only been a few months though, so not a huge amount of time to assess)

Great, glad it was of some use, cheers

OK, I think I have sussed it, (but I may be wrong, I'm not a trailer expert, but I like an engineering challenge!) This is the full kit. I think all of this mounts to the trailer frame behind the rear black plastic outer trim. Then to use the props, the wrench and extension in the kit photo is...

Interesting, I found this picture of them fitted, but its not obvious how you lock them into position in normal use. have you removed the black plastic to see what is behind, the threaded mounting holes may be there. I'll keep looking.

In the future electric vehicles will tow much, much better than diesel engines. Diesel trains don't drive the wheels from the locomotive engine, they drive a generator that drives electric motors at the wheels. Electric motors are far better in every way than combustion engines, more torque...
