    Saddle Pad storage

    I use these bags for storing rugs too . Pretty robust and ideal for sticking in loft . Gets them out of the way ,for £3 , can't be robbed. I always make sure to make a note of what rugs are stashed , or I'd forget all about them.

    Saddle Pad storage

    I'm not sure these could be considered stylish but they're certainly practical. I can fit 4/5 saddlecloths in. Can't remember exact price but was definitely cheaper in IKEA rather than Amazon.

    What do you do when the kids want to drive but social distancing says no?

    I'm a member of the 12 week club . My interpretation is to stay home full stop. As I am at increased risk I can see no valid reason for me to leave the house. Food and prescriptions are delivered, thankfully ex partner ( it's very complicated) can work from home. Horse is on full livery and...

    Plonker is an understatement , I was calling myself a cotton headed ninny for sure. I can't be left alone !! No idea how I've managed to do that , will leave it to the girls in local shop to change in future.

    Point two wearers advice please .

    Just wanted to give a little update . Point two received my best for examination and on the same day , tested it. They went through a rigorous test of the jacket . Everything performed as it should , which was a huge relief . What wasn't a relief was the fact that I had replaced my cartridge...

    They were doing an upgrade scheme , if you trade your old vest in . Got my hunter style vest with a decent reduction . Might be worth seeing if they'd are still offering the trade ins.

    Thankyou Ycbm . I will follow your instructions if P2 want the cartridge out of the vest . I will lock myself in a room and hopefully won't have a controlled explosion . I have no complaints with P2 on the whole , they've always serviced my vests quickly and returned them looking as good as...

    It is definitely a p2 cartridge . It will have been purchased direct from P2 or from my local tack shop . I've emailed P2 with photographs to ask for advice . I did chat with someone on the online chat facility but when I asked for advice she went off line . Thankfully I sort of flopped off...

    Lanyard still attached to saddle . Before I leave whoever I'm with will say , "clipped on," before anyone sets hoof off yard . It's ingrained into my brain to clip on. Hope your friend was ok , bet she felt like a bit of a ninny.

    Point two wearers advice please .

    Yes , I have a strict rule of putting the used cartridge in the bin before I get the new one . I was worried about exactly the scenario you describe so I don't get a fresh cartridge until used one is binned. The cord pulled but I don't think the mechanism pierced the cartridge , that's the only...

    Point two wearers advice please .

    Ive had the ladies at my local horsey shop do this for me . They always tell me to bugger off , purely in jest I might add. I've worn a point two almost daily since 2013 , I'm happy to change cartridge using the online instructions . I'm lucky in that I don't have to change it too often so...

    Point two wearers advice please .

    Lanyard is attached to the saddle . The jacket failed to inflate . I had a lot of people worried when I came off . I don't know why it didn't work and wondered if I'd put cartridge in wrong but I don't think that's possible ? Going to speak to point two today , issue is , best can't be returned...
