peewee saddlery near Boston. I got a pair last week for a birthday gift, lovely reins.

I have had both, and am now running a 7.5T box. It is not much more expensive than the trailer and 4x4, bearing in mind I could only have one car so had to run the 4x4 daily. Now I have a small car so it costs me not much more to run. The comfort for my horse, and me, is so worth the small...

I'm not sure how it compares to Burghley, but it is amazing. We go for the whole weekend normally!

You are right, it is very quick!

Agree! My youngster is 2, and he won't be sat on until he's at least 4 and will not do regular ridden work until he's 5. I want his spine to be fully formed before he has to do any hard work.

He's lovely, but not a fjord cross I don't think.

Auto boxes always attract a premium unfortunately, so you may have to pay a bit more. Not twice the price though, that is a rip off! I am trying to sell my wee wagon at the moment, people want everything with bells and whistles on for 50p! Much like those people who want the perfect horse...

I had hypnosis for something else - inability to stop eating all manner of sweet junk food - but it really worked. Over 7 months now since anything remotely cakey, biscuity or desserty passed my lips. Hypnosis is certainly worth trying, as is NLP.

TREC is loads of fun! I've only done the winter indoor series, so just the COP and obstacles, but it was really good and everyone was really friendly. My horse enjoyed himself too!

You should also refuse to take her out to lessons and such like if she won't pay petrol money - if she's late and loses out, it will make her be on time in the future! Best of luck, she is very lucky to be able to have such a nice owner as you to let her ride!

I used to have one before I got my lorry, and it was a great trailer which I never had any problems towing. It depends on who your nearest trailer person is - I have two very good local dealers who deal with Cheval, and both can source parts easily.

Any vehicle that is substantially altered will have to have this test, all the way down to motorbikes. Common sense really, then you know it's safe.

Might be worth checking on your documents that your lorry is properly registered - I'm off to check mine now!

From what we can gather (household has 2 CPC trainers in it) ALL vehicles that are converted to a horsebox that are over 3.5T will need to have the vehicle approval done (in link two posts up). If you already have a horsebox, you don't need to worry, it is only if you are building a box on any...

I can't find any new info past 2012 about horseboxes, can you give us a clue with the title of the page? Edited: found a link. All garbage as usual, typical DVSA. Basically, they have renamed the inspection that always had to be done if you change the use of a vehicle apparently. This has...
