Don't tie your horse to the breast bar that could cause further injury to your horse if he panic's. The breast bar is not intended to have anything tied to it. If I were you I would consider having another breast bar attachment fitted so that you can have two breast bars at the front. One at...

I use a Rambo Wug Plus on my pony which I bought about 7 years ago and it is still in perfect condition, Some times I wish it wasn't so I'd have an excuse to buy a new one LOL Anyway I recently bought a second horse and as winter is coming up I need to buy him a new rug, I will only buy...

All depends on how hot he gets rather than the amount of work, In light work and not heting up much I'd be prone to getting a bib clip or at most a chaser.

The loin staps are a little too far back and the trace carriers are too long which is why they are all bunched up. The breeching is definitely too high but not by much and the breastplate need to be slightly higher. Your horse is also too close to the carriage, you should allow at least 18"...

I use Towester Vets and they are brilliant, Andy is great very friendly and honest as is Nick. Actually all the vets are nice... I prefer them to Swanspool as they are equine specialists where as Swanspool though good vets are more your family practitioner. Mind saying that I did find them...

when I advertised as wanting a horse to buy I asked for 14-14.2hh Glding 4-8 years old. I was offered 13 - 13.2hh and 15hh+ horses mares and horses aged between 10 and 15 years old. I got so fed up I replied to one email saying "No offence but go back and read the wanted advert correctly"...

I've skipped reading a few posts so if I repeat anything do excuse me.. I would go through the 3 stages, Verbal warning Letter Notice to leave. That way you have given the person in question ample opportunity to adhere to their contract, it is then their downfall if they choose to ignore...

I bought the old style Rambo Wug Plus (purple one) 7 years ago and I am still using it now. It is still as good as the day I bought it and worth every penny. it is the rip stop factor that got my attention and it doesn't rip or tear. During this time I bought another rug as a cheap spare for...

Horses don't throw themselves around for no reason, waste of energy that is required to escape predators. I'd be more inclined to find the cause of this behaviour then work on it, it oculd be teeth, back problems etc.. This horse is trying to tell ya something... getting on and making the...

Don't be so negative, tell ya what I wish I had the money to buy a horse that could do the sport I bought it for. Alas like you I can't do that but I get great pleasure watching my horses improve each day. Have you given thought that she may actually be jealous of YOU..... She may look at you...

I got told a good un, a bloke went on a holiday to the states riding horses. Never sat on a horse in his life until then. Enjoyed it so much he bought a western saddle then bought a horse. The horse was toomuch for him so he sold it and on the advice of an inexperienced lass bought a 6 years old...

When I went to Colorado I was gutted that the rodeo season had just finished as I do so wanted to go and watch one. The photo's are great, I hear the horses and bulls aren't hurt and it is the strap at the back which makes em buck as they want it off. Seeing your photo's makes me still want to...
