I would never buy a wooden floored lorry

I had fibre sand and it was 120 tonnes

Lost a couple of field shelters due to wind. When rebuilt I acquired some ibc tanks which each hold 1000l of water. One either side, rope over the roof between them. That amounts to an extra 2 tonnes holding it down so I very much doubt they'll move now. If you want to move the shelter all you...

Bum bag is OK until you land on it. Bad for your phone, worse for you. A pouch strapped to your arm or better still use a saddle bag if you are out hacking, that way you can take a first aid kit as well

Need a 12v tyre inflator that will actually get to the 65psi my iw511 needs. Anyone recommend one that will do the job?

I have recently used ibc tanks (Google them) to secure my field shelter. Each one when filled with water weighs 1 tonne. If you need to move, simply open the taps and empty them

I take 1 tablespoon (about 18ml), and weigh about 78kg, so scaling up, a 500kg horse would be about 115ml. Make sure you dilute it with water.

I too have been dealing with a horse that in it's time has jammed itself under the breech bar, and jumped the breast bar. I don't think there is one simple answer. I expect there might be quick fixes (e.g shut all the doors and let them get on with it), but none I would be happy risking with my...

On their way to the abbatoir:)

Of course, you can, you would get 12v. The only way they would notice would be as a mild tingling if they put their tongue on it. The energiser converts the standard 12V from the battery into pulses of several thousand volts (low current so it doesn't kill). Just like a shock you get from...

Never travel without the bars in place. They are an important part of the structural integrity of the trailer. In addition, the rear bar is built to take the weight of the horse, if they lean back on the rear ramp, it has been known to come undone and dump the horse on the road
