Me, I bought a 2 yr old.

Maybe he is fed up with being pestered? I appreciate its not how everyone would do things but it is their horse, it is not how everyone would choose to keep a horse, maybe it is electric fenced to try and keep the weight off, it looks rather chunky. I am being devils advocate!

My DIL has had a couple of lessons there when they have come down and has been happy with them but don't know any more than that.

You might get a better response if you post this in the 'Tack room'

We use clipex, brilliant stuff. 30yr warranty and it is easy to take out if you need to, it is more pricey though.
