You'll get a better response from this on the Facebook Braintree Riders page as more people frequent it than here?

I was lucky and found one ‘up north’ (I’m down south!) Any good Horsebox at the right price nowadays seems to be a needle in a haystack. The one I bought neede a new ramp, whatcha with good repairers nearby was something not to miss. Be patient and if you are after a small one...

Firstly don't panic, if any organ in the body is to be affected, then the liver is a good one as its the only one that has any hope of re-generation. But this is if it isn't too damaged to start with. We have an older mare, that several years ago (over 8) collapsed on the road (she simply...

How about Sylvia Loch and Prazer? Based noth essex/Suffolk and you can not get a better schoolmaster? Rider has to be <11stone. You will not get a better teacher or horse! Classical, not German dressage, but can highly recommend!

Please don&#8217;t use chilli powder! Some horses love it! Use something like detox or cribbox or even their own wee? They get addicted and that&#8217;s why one is breaking through. Please make sure it can&#8217;t, acorn poisoning is very real and very nastily fatal! Hope you can resolve, ive...

how about selling horse stuff through a catalogue, like avon but horsey? no up front, large organisation with very credible products? Can introduce you if you message me?

You might be better asking this on the Essex riders facebook page (there are 2 but either is usually responsive) There's a lovely lady in tiptree that I've been to on clinics who does livery, pm me if you want more info?

Theres a couple of things that you haven't mentioned that also affect value (or when I was looking what I would pay?) Does it have a cut thru? - cut thru is always more desirable and is more money What is the unladen weight - good unladen weight lorries always sell Plating/Test - long test...

Might be time to consider doing a cushings test as this can send their thermostat up the creek?

I have had several ivecos and they've mostly been great, my latest being a 13t, although my worst was a 75e15 with an Olympic body, it had an aluminium floor, but what wasn't so clever was a rotted chassis! Mechanics are good at telling you what they want you to have and they want to work on...

The place to start is by putting everything together (facts) and then talking to trading standards for advice, remember they aren't often horsey and may need to refer themselves, most are helpful and will point you in the right direction, FYI the TS will usually be in the area of the dealer not...

After many years of showing and classical dressage, it looks like my 3 homebreds all want to jump! I'm not a spring chick, so coloured poles is a huge change in direction! Horses seem to love it, 4yo did really well with prof rider for first outing last week at Weston lawns, recently...

The new racesafe, it's got an elasticated outer so it means you can breathe and not feel trapped, plus all the little blocks that mean it can flex, very lightweight and comfy.

Thank you dunlin, for me safety is the most important thing so will take a looksee :)

Sorry it's probably been done millions of times but after having a horse come down on top of me on Monday, meaning my hat and body protector need replacing, I know which by I want this time but hat? I chose the hs1 due to its safety rating, the Charles Owen equivalent didn't fit well, so will...
