    Irish Draught Stallions Please!

    What about Attwood Black Laughton also standing with Bowland Irish Draughts but he has frozen semen available. 17hh, black with 10" of bone. I have fancied him for my own RID mare and as I wasn't wanting any KoD bloodlines, I am sure he fit that bill also.

    No love for Hi-Viz?

    I work in 'road death' so needless to say, I will always wear hi-viz in all weathers at all times of year. In particularly dull weather, I am also often found to be wearing a clip-on flashing light as flashing lights are more noticeable than a solid light. Road safety is a big thing in our...

    Askam in Furness Cumbria Instructors and Yards x

    The only problem with being down in Furness is that you will have to travel wherever you go due to being on the Peninsula, and the roads aren't great. There is a riding school at Witherslack, off the A590 or you may need to go up the west coast towards Gosforth where there is a good riding...

    Saddle fitters in North England/South Scotland

    By new, do you mean brand new or new to you? Susan Maxwell from Dumfries fits and sells saddles on for others but I'm not sure if she stocks brand new. Otherwise have you tried Rideaway close to York or Derby House?

    kevin parker or jm horseboxes

    I haven't seen KPs boxes so I can't comment and although I have had some problems with one or two things, (current thread in CR) I cannot fault the build of JM boxes. Have you been to see them? They were just starting to go into the 3.5t box market when we ordered our 7.5 and they appeared to...

    jm horseboxes

    The chassis are bought in and depending on stock will have differing mileages and not all cost the same. If they were all the same without any flexibility, would expect an unladed weight. However, as the vehicles are built to your spec, the the weight will vary depending on what you want in...

    We got a new one last year. The upholstery was the wrong colour and although they offered to replace it, it had got to the point that we really needed the box and could not wait for it to be re-done. After service could be a bit quicker when sorting faults out as we are still waiting for the...

    Saddle Fitters in Cumbria/South west scotland

    I saw your post on FB asking, and I was going to message you to also suggest Beltane Equestrian. She does come down into Cumbria now but you won't be too far from the border anyway. She does fittings all over the place and has a decent stock.
