    Anyone using Kieffer Gladiator Stirrup Leathers?

    Can you guys me any feedback on these leathers. I have a brand new saddle which has funny lines on it after only 4 hours of riding in it and the saddle maker is blaming the leathers. I had an Ideal Jessica before with same leathers without issues so just wondered if anyone else has had...

    How far do u walk to turn your horse out?

    I am completely redesigning my fields and due to the shape of the land and the quantity of it (20 acres) what ever way I do it, because I make separate fields for each horse its going to be a trek to get there. Not too far but I would say it might b a three minute walk each way. The plus side is...

    Would your horse travel ok if....

    Thanks for all your replies, it is the trailer i mentioned before. It is a known problem with these but the manufacturers and dealers answer is they have never heard before that a horse would be bothered by the noise thats why i wanted other opinions. Thanks :)

    Would your horse travel ok if....

    Sorry i didnt make it clear the leatherish covering over the partition and on the walls i think it has padding behind has become loose and sagged at the bottom so it is now a large air pocket. If it was soft it would just squash but its gone quite hard like plastic so as the air pocket gets...

    Micronised linseed where do you buy yours?

    I order the simple systems one from www.equi-box.co.uk its free delivery if its over £35 and under 30kg but I think its expensive at £34.65 for a 20kg bag. I usually order the 5kg which lasts ages but I order a balancer with it so I still get free delivery

    How important is the right sort of girth?

    Extremely I think any tack is. My opinion is if your going to expect the horse to carry you, you should make sure he is comfortable as he can be (within your means). Especially girths as they can rub. I have just ordered a Fairfax girth. I had one on trial last week and although I didn't feel...
