If need be yes My point is as a society we shouldn’t be using sentient flight animals in this way anymore

Black lives matter. There were a number of lawless thugs who hijacked the protest and deserve to be held to account. None of which distracts from the fact that the use of horses for crowd control is archaic and abusive to the horses. None of them chose to be there. Some of them will be...

I would just say in the current climate I am no longer able to help with feeding. If they can’t manage to come up themselves then they need to either seek a more supportive retirement livery or pay for a freelance to come in. If they cannot afford it then they need to consider what’s best for...

I used to tow one horse with one and it was fine - mine was a 2l diesel. The 505 is 900 kg and with 600 kg horse you have 500 kg to spare so should be ok. They’re quite economical too. I wouldn’t tow two in it unless an emergency though .

Oh and bits if expensiv!e!
