Not helpful sorry...... But me too!

Thank you. She doesn't wear necks unless it's cool, but unfortunately she's quite a poor doer and gets cold easily so I do need them at some point. Plus she gets a full clip. I will keep looking and try a few makes, but it does sound like Mark Todd could be my best bet

Great thank you. I will take a look at them. I think a 6ft 3 will be too big though. Her 6ft WB is quite generous so I think the extra 3 inches would be too big. She takes a 6ft in amigos, Rambos and bucas rugs

Looking for stable rug recommendations. Ideally detach-a-neck. Would need a light weight, medium weight and then possibly a lighter side of a heavy weight dependent on the weight of the others if that makes sense. Currently horse has amigo insulators but I have to use a chest expander as she a...

Thank you. I think mollichaff is the way forward. I like the sound of the extra as it Alfa free and has added cuts and mins!

Thank you all. I will look into all the options

My horse is allergic to alfalfa. I'm struggling to find a good chaff to give her. So far my only options seem to be mollichaff or Saracens low calorie chaff. Does anyone know of any others? As well as being allergic to alfalfa she's extremely sensitive to high starch and protein feeds. Any...

Me!! Moved my horse from essex to just outside Washington dc 2 years ago. Feel free message me with any questions

I'm British, lived in the south east of England all my life until 2 years ago. Now live in the US. We have 3-4 months of temps in the high 30s, early 40s. Nights only getting down to mid 20s. Humidity around 80% most of the time. You just have to get on with it. My horses are out at night, in...

I have a 16hh irish sports horse. Not chunky with well built, muscled and a strong neck. Weatherbetta detach-a-necks work really well for her. They are well cut and don't rub

I have a Kent and masters dressage saddle. Not my first choice and I wanted a slightly higher quality saddle (not in a snobbish way, just so it would last) but my mare was extremely tricky to fit and its the only one she liked. I feel quite secure in it and it looks smart. Leather is holding up...

Thank you both. We are currently living in the states (have been here 2 years) but lived in Essex when we back "home". Ideally small town/village. Would like a rural location but not in the middle of nowhere. As for the horses would ideally love diy with the option of assisted. Individual or...

I'm looking for some advice. We are looking into relocating to West Sussex. Mainly thinking the horsham, Crawley area due to its easy access to London. What's horsey life like in that area? Good livery yards? Good hacking? Good competition venues? Any words of wisdom or suggestions gratefully...

Got my fingers crossed for you. I wouldn't want my Tekna forever but for the money I really don't think you can fault it. Plus is a lot prettier and more comfortable that other synthetics. Good luck!

I am in the same position as you. So hard to find a decent fitter here. I just bought myself a Tekna jump saddle to keep me going until I find a saddle and a saddler I really. I bought mine from a place in PA online but im sure their must be places be nearer. For the price im really pleased with...
