What a fabulous sort.

Plenty of hay here (Devon). Buying small bales at £5.50 and round haylage at £50. Would hate to have short supply as it’sa fundamental part of our horses diet at night.

This is my first full winter with them at home and so far ok. The main part of the field is fine and where it waterlogs and floods (at the gateway) I have put down Jelke mats which are doing their job brilliantly. Hopefully they'll hold out for the winter. I've got 2 horses and one pony on 3...

I’ve used my Helite gilet for both sj and XC and now mainly hacking. I bought the larger size to go over my body protector and it then zips into my jacket for sj. I mostly however use it as a gilet either under a large coat or over a jumper or tight jacket.

Hello and welcome. What a huge move for you, hope you enjoy it. I’m not sure of your area but I think Badgworth EC would be close and you could take a visit to Pontispool near Taunton and Chard. Both very busy show centres. You’ll be able to see which riding clubs are hiring at Pontispool...

As others have said. I’ve had an Helite for years and have a fairly loose coat on top. Not zipped if it has Velcro fastenings

I’ve had a similar situation and a Jeffries F1 jump saddle suited us both. Also the new GFS saddles are pretty light, so maybe worth a try.

I’ve just bought a hbx511 and had the tack box fitted. Firstly it’s fabulous to tow. Nowhere near as rattly as the older Ifors. Do you mean a tack box or partitioned tack room? I have the tack box but also a ramp. It’s tricky getting my saddle in it and as it doesn’t have a front it’s not...

A local dealer has them 4 weeks unless they know the horse in which case it’s two. They give them a full assessment though by usually taking them XC schooling and show jumping hire etc

No, not found that it rubs at all - I don't have them very tight there and the straps are elasticated anyway.

I agree. The grass mats just sink into the mud.

This makes more sense but I’m going to be checking my policy soon !

Field 1. Can’t see any benefit to field 2 & is not big enough for 4 horses

I think you’re reading too much into it. I think burgundy looks nice. It my day it was just black, blue or tweed, so it’s refreshing to see new colours around.
