I don't have a receipt from Equipt other than screenshots between me and the seller but I did contact her back in August who'd sent me a screenshot of when her daughter had won the boots in a Pony Mag competition. Not sure if I should provide this or chance my arm just with the photographs

Just wondered if anyone has had any joy with a warranty claim for a pair of Ariat boots? I bought a pair of Ascent Paddock boots last March from Equipt that were in like new condition. I love them but the soles started to come off in August and have been letting water in ever since. Would it...

Must have a look at their policies, I've only ever been with horseinsurance.co.uk (Insurance Emporium) who I later found out from my vet that they're a nightmare to deal with in the event of a claim

The windsucker has no history of colic but I know that's often a worry with them. And the 6yo that's been turned away it still at grass but I've seen videos of him from last year (assuming post op) and looks a gorgeous type. They're both homebreds from the same lady so she has their full...

Has anyone got any experience with insuring horses with known issues or vices? I'm currently looking to buy a horse but don't have a massive budget so my options are quite limited. I'm going to view two this week but they both come with big "ifs". One is a 9yo gelding, consistent competition...

Just wondering what everyone's experiences are with barefoot transitioning for horses that require corrective shoeing? My mare (7yo) was always barefoot until about 18 months ago after I moved to a new yard and she wasn't wearing evenly in front. The more abrasive arena surface was taking more...

I'm not continuing with any tricks etc until I find a solution to the problem. But since it's a problem on the ground I think its essential I take a step back and continue to work with him before it manifests into a serious problem. I'm not fussed on the rearing. It's just a trick and if he...

I don't have any similar experiences to advise you but might be worth giving your vet a quick ring for advice? They know where you are with her recovery and should be able to help you until her check up. Generally with stiffness I'd normally advise keeping them out 24/7 to keep them moving but...

Since being on lockdown I've started doing a bit of liberty and trick training with my gelding to keep ourselves occupied as my yard closed and forced us to turn the horses away to grass. He's very established with basic tricks we've done previously like smiling, giving kisses and lifting his...

I took my gelding hunting almost 4 weeks ago when I'm pretty sure he banged his knee on a stone wall. Didn't think too much of it as he remained sound and there was no obvious mark on him immediately afterwards but I gave him the next few days off to recover from any possible muscle soreness as...

I've had my young gelding for just over 4 months now and I'm thinking of changing his bit however, I don't really know where to start. I currently ride him in an eggbutt snaffle with a flash noseband and I just don't think he's happy in it. He keeps opening his mouth and I really don't like...

Thanks guys I think I'll get him a loose ring snaffle and see if that makes a difference with him :) I'm currently saving up for a Micklem so hopefully he'll like it! I've heard such good things about them so hopefully it'll work for him :D

I've thought about a loose ring snaffle as I know it wouldn't have the same stability as the eggbutt but I don't know how sizing would work as I'd use rubber bit rings so it wouldn't nip him. All I know he's been ridden in the past is an eggbut snaffle and a copper roller so I've no idea what's...

Would that not be too strong? I've heard of waterfords being good for ones that lean but I've heard they're quite harsh and I really don't want to harden his mouth

Hi guys just looking for advice as I'm not too familiar with bitting horses. I've a little 6yo gelding who's a very sweet little boy but my only problem I'm having with him is that he leans and runs downhill when you push him forward, particularly when we're jumping. I currently have him in a...
