my current hat is a Charles own pro 2 gold skull cap and it fits well. I also like the look of the Charles owen ayr8. I wonder if fit will be the same as the pro 2? Perhaps might be worth trying some on.

I was just looking at a kep one, will avoid thanks! I have seen a few Gatehouse ones I like the look of.

I am looking at getting a new hat but since I last bought my hat 10 years ago, I have no idea on what brands are good? I am not too fussed on fixed peak or skull cap. Any suggestions?

Its that time of year again and I need a new fly mask for my new forest pony. The ones he worse last year were too tight or soft around the eyes and seems to squish in and rub his eyelids and just above his eyes, even though it allowed plenty of room. He has buggy eyes bless him so think he...

aside from the physical abuse, I actually find swearing offensive. It genuinely makes me uncomfortable and I don't care that the horse doesn't understand....I do and I wouldn't want to hear it!

i made a risky purchase of a 10hh Shetland pony today. She is a companion to another pony and also for my 5 yr old to potter around on (if she proves ok) there wasn't a lot of opportunity to fully test her, took along my 8 yr old neice who had a sit and walked a little way up the path and...

ok so thinking avoid the hunters, anyone tried seeland wellies?

Im purchasing some wellies and require them to be comfortable, warm and good grip. I am stuck between the Aigle parcours and the hunter balmoral neoprene. I know hunters have a bad rep of late but is this also true for the balmorals? They look much sturdier than the traditional hunters? I have...

I must be a real softy, but my new forest is unclipped , out 24/7 but has a thick full neck rug on, even though he has a fluffy coat. The thought of him standing in torrential rain with no rug on makes me cringe. Mine is a little porky too but im not worried, he will be sectioned off as soon as...

well written, I too have been through hell the last few years and basically ended up in temporary housing as a single parent with two children. My horse was sold due to this but after a year of feeling depressed as I missed the horses so much, I took on a little native pony and put him on grass...

My pony is particularly spooky on windy days and is sensitive to noise hacking, for example, lorries or rattling trailers etc. Im working on getting him used to things slowly and taking my time, im in no rush with him but had an interesting conversation with my friend the other day who...

I have had my pony checked, I have had teeth done, back done and saddle fitted so ruled out pain issues. My pony tends to buck if he is either excited or deciding he doesn't want to do what I am asking, ie go though a puddle!! My next option now is to get myself sorted, im currently under...

I have a ****** of a pony who is intent on spooking and throwing a woo hoo buck, problem is I have a bad back (disc herniation) and suffer a lot of hip pain. I am finding my current wintec saddle uncomfortable to ride in, its a shame as it fits him. So my dilemma is, would I be better getting a...

I am 30 and have a 13.2hh new forest pony! I am a tiny 5ft though lol, strangely I am happy riding any height, I have had horse/ponies ranging from 12.2hh up to 17hh and everything in between. My last horse was 16.1hh so I am still getting used to the new forest but I think that's mostly because...

ok thanks, I have been looking into the rope halters. Might be worth a try!
