    Detachable tow bars - double pin system does anyone have one?

    I do have it in an email from Ford confirming and I found a Facebook group of them where multiple people tow horses in it. I just don't like the look it is. So it's either use it or don't tow for the next three years.

    Getting a horse off the leg

    He's not over weight, fit ridden 5/6 days a week. Bit of both actually. I do find him better in the morning before he's been turned out. Does the grass make a difference? They have not got much in the field.
