    Ramiro B

    Have a look at Harthill Stud they own him and have lots of nice youngsters by him. Oliver Townend rates his youngsters and has several that he competes all of which as successful. My 2year old was based there until just recently and I can honestly say I have never seen one of his babies that...

    When to call it a day

    Monty Roberts/IH people

    I used a RA a few times when my horse was a 1 year old problem loader and it was the best money I have ever spent! She came and worked with my horse then spent time showing me how to do the same thing. The horse is now 13 and loads herself in the lorry :)

    Good Horsebox Insurer

    Anthony D Evans are ok for insurance but wouldn't touch their recovery with a barge pole after a nightmare breakdown a few years ago! I moved to NFU and got a cheaper deal and their recovery is a million times better :)
