I would also be interested in what fan you use. Do you have this in place of a roof fan like you seen on vans?

I am fortunate (?) to have a horse everyone is scared of so don't have this problem. It is amazing how people are still stuck in an era where this sort of thing might have seemed acceptable. I agree with HopOnTrot, I would be dead worried my horse would take exception to being ridden by anyone...

Has anyone tried the bit in the title? I has been recommended for my horse so looking for opinions if you have used / do use it. My horse does display some of the issues the bit is supposed to assist with but doesn't do the tongue over the bit issue. It appears to be dressage legal although its...

I feed a balancer which includes other things for gut health. I have a very fussy horse who goes mental on any other brand of feed except the one I have her on. I am not a 'balancer' person but had no choice as I had exhausted all other balanced feeds in the range from this brand. I have just...

If you are going to prepare meals in the box, I would suggest as simple as they come. A small tarp tacked to the ground with tent pegs outside your door to your living, mat for wiping feet. Useful to have somewhere clean to take your boots off before trailing mud inside. Outdoor chairs and a...

I bought a IW511 2010 model in 2018 for £4k - it was basically brand new as it was hardly used and barn stored (saw it in the evening, contacted seller and drove at speed 150 miles the next morning to collect it, no waiting around as it was one of those hard to find sorts being in such good...

I would sell and buy one that is exactly what you are looking for. There are a lot of 3.5t horseboxes for sale at the moment and prices on most have gone down which is surprising. I wouldn't want the headache of conversion when the end product might not work out how you want it to be - there are...

You are lucky, although my box had a slight leak! I found I had a lot more condensation this year than last year, even though the leak was fixed. Anything left on a surface in the box had condensation under it and the whole interior needed a clean and being left open in the sun (on one of the...

First time selling at a car boot sale this weekend, any tips please? Is having small change a thing, do people come with change expecting vendors to not have masses of change? Didn't realise how much stuff I had until I started pulling it out of cupboards and the shed. And this is after I sold...

It is a no thank you to any yard that has limited storage, and defo for one that won't let you store your tack. Although, there are always equestrian car boots to go to if have accumulated too much 'stuff' (we are all guilty of that, sigh)

Mine is approx. £55 per month. I am with a broker who looks for the best deal each year

Perhaps the Dam dictates the breed (sort of?). I have a horse who's Dam is ISH and Sire is Zangersheide. Her passport puts her as an ISH but that could also to her being 'a type'

It will depend on its service history and MOT record. You can check MOT record on the DVLA website. If there are consistently things wrong or only failures are fixed and advisories left, then there may be an issue. If is has been regularly serviced and the cambelt / timing chain have been...

Just a question, was there food involved? The only time my horse has gotten seriously angry with her neighbour was when I installed a haybar in the corner of her stable. This part butted up against the neighbouring stable's door (not explaining that very well!). That horse had her head over the...

I feel sorry for a person who tries to interfere with my horse without permission (evil laugh). I am a calm as you can be person, until I am not. If you are concerned the newbie is going to act on any 'threats' I would speak to the YO and explicitly advise them that no one has authorisation to...
