I currently tow with an xc90 which I love for everyday and is fine for towing, just wondering whether to upgrade for a slighty newer version ( mine is 10yo) or try something different... I did have a Nissan Pathfinder which towed fine but was awful for fuel consumption, general interior was poor...

I've just replaced my Ifor Williams HB510 with a new HB511 and thinking about updating my towing vehicle... I'm interested in what people find as the best vehicle for towing a trailer with at least one 16:3hh horse. I have my B+E liscence and have been towing for 15 years... I would want...

Thank guys, all useful views.... Lots to think about anyway... Any tips on where to look other than ebay, preloved or horse quest? X

So for my Christmas present I was told I could have a "newer" trailer.... I have sold my Ifor Williams HB510 and am now confused about what to replace it with... I have a budget of around £4000 and I need to tow my 16.3hh once a week ish. I have a B+E licence. Suggestions please... Nothing...

Please keep us posted on the ground as I'm in two minds about going... I only compete for fun so don't have a schedule to keep or ultimate goal so not too bothered to miss one run if its very slippy! Would hate to have a silly mistake due to the ground as its been going well so far! (apart from...

Am also in sec b dressage just before 11 but I'm still in two minds whether to go? It is so slippy at the moment and there is a bit more rain forecast... If it wasn't so hilly and twisty... and I didn't have to get up at stupid o clock to plait, drive there, walk the course all before 10!! Does...

I've just had a quick look at the rule book and still not sure if i can use a sweet iron snaffle for my dressage? Does anyone know? : )

Oh maybe I need to get my tape measure out and see if I can get a mix and match Cordoba?!

I am about to treat myself to a new bridle, I am looking at the Sabre Cordoba as I have one already and love it but wondering if there is anything else out there that is similar? I want a padded headpiece and mexican grackle noseband... I do have a spare one but my boy needs a cob size as...

I think I will make the final decision on saturday evening, I had a huge tree go down in one of the paddocks yesterday and the weather is set to carry on as it is at the moment ( bloody horrid!) Just cleaned my dressage saddle and bridle so still sitting on the fence! Off for a sj lesson...

Thanyou I was thinking that maybe schooling at Tweseldown sometime over the next week or two would be safer but don't know if I'm just being a pansy! I compete for fun but I don't even want to hack in this weather never mind eventing!

I'm supposed to be going to Bovington unaffiliated this Sunday to do my first Pre Novice before I run at Tweseldown in May but thinking that a nearly 2 hour journey each way in a trailer in this weather is not good as is trying to ride!!! Am umming and ahhing about it and wondering if I would be...

Yes will see if I can go have a play first! I've got Bovington UA 100 at the end of the month so will see how that goes! X

Just entered Tweseldown as 2 hrs to Borde Hill is a bit too much of a trek! Fingers crossed I find some confidence!

Thank you I will see when they have one on, they run UA too I think?
