If you look on Gibson Saddlers or Horse Requisites, both in Newmarket, you will find race hoods in both their shops. They are used in racing to just calm anxious horses and can be used to race in if declared. I have no idea of their legality in other disciplines I'm afraid.

Sorry, you are right, our last one was 'low', I thought it was borderline! Even so, if he has been turned out with others up to this point, they have all been exposed to the same level of infection, a day or two is going to make no difference. I wouldn't keep in after worming, but I know...

Have a look on the Equisal info sheet that came with the test. Pretty sure they say not to worm if it comes back at borderline level.

Authorized is now in France having not set the world alight as a sire. Stands for €10k. Frankel ran 14 times, won 14 races, 10 of which were Group 1, I don't call that a bad record. They were on hiding to nothing with whatever his progeny achieved as they can never all replicate him...

That sounds incredibly dangerous and I'm not sure I would get back on in that situation until I had done thorough investigations. If nothing else it is going to destroy your confidence! I have a 7yo ID and I would say it is taking more time than any other horse I have owned for him to settle...

I can honestly say the attached vid clip has been the most effective and long lasting method I have ever used to load a tricky one. I was there for two hours with my new chap the other day, having tried the bribery, coercion and brute force methods I went back to this and it worked, again. You...

I was just looking at Helen Rennie's page on Facebook, think she calls herself Rezone Training, she does consults via Facetime she says. I've just bought her book on recommendation. :) Might be worth a look.

Hooks of Sweden? Have everything bar the noseband attaching both sides. I've just bought the funky looking one for €87 and am pleasantly surprised with quality of leather. :)

Highly recommend Matt French, he is Milton Keynes way but does come to this neck of the woods. http://www.classicalworkinhand.com/

Have you spoken to Kevin Parker? They do do a 4.5T Aeos 'Weekender' as a standard build, so you wouldn't be a guinea pig.

Has he pulled a muscle or tweaked a nerve in his neck? Mine was doing a lot of headshaking the other day, had the physio out the following day as she was booked anyway, and she found and resolved a soft tissue knot, up near her poll, that would reliably cause her to head shake and cause obvious...

Carlosmum, think you'll find that music is Ennio Morricone, from The Mission, should you wish to listen to it more than once a year. ;)

Those pods are ace, want one! Aeos has external tack locker, that comes into the living area, so nothing protruding into horse area at all. The tack locker holds the gas bottle for the hob, and a horse shower. There is a built in water tank as well. It is a miracle of space and weight...

I have a Kevin Parker Aeos, which I've had a single bed/bench seat and a hob and sink put into the back of, which is all separated from the horse area with a bulkhead. Payload is 1.1T on a 3.5T box, could have upgraded the chassis to 3.9T (Vauxhall Movano) but as it would still only carry one...

I have a Kevin Parker Aeos, and totally love it, build quality is excellent, and they are great at letting you know exactly where they are in the build, with pics etc. Properly know their stuff and do not cut corners. Agree that you won't fit 2 horses/ponies legally in a 3.5T though. Mine has...
