I moved from NI to England with my 19yo this Feb and took her in my trailer on the 8 hr boat overnight. I was travelling her by myself and Stena were great and very accommodating about me wanting to check on her - she was not phased at all even when it was a bit rocky around the IoM. Probably a...

Thanks all, definately some to check out. I did see a post on a FB group before posting here saying livery spaces are almost impossible to come by which definately frightened me! Leaving her behind in NI is not an option (even though I have been so lucky to be on the most incredible yard here...

I cant wait for bridleways! Sadly lacking in NI :( Thanks for the reassurance. The idea of moving animals over the sea is probably what's freaking me out - even though we've done it before and know it will be OK. It's very exciting to be coming 'home' again

Thanks all - will check out ******* etc too. My husband will be working on the outskirts of Exeter so anywhere within 45min/hr of the city is a possibility. He starts in Feb but me and pony might not be able to follow until our house here sells. Thanks to Covid the interview was remote so...

Hi, I think I may not have posted on here since the last time I planned a big relocation 5 years ago... It looks like I will be moving from Ireland to Devon in the new year and the number 1 priority will be livery for my pony mare Arena/Turnout/Stable are a must, but other packages (DIY-Full)...

It cost me about £500 to cross with a 4x4 and horse trailer at the end of 2016. It should be slightly cheaper with a 3.5T as the main cost is in the length of the vehicle. If you were going over to collect with no horse on board you could put it on as a camper van I think. I went with Irish...

I use the shires one with the fleece as this stops any rubbing. Because the end is rubber it was very easy to cut the hole slightly larger, and this means my greedy cob can still eat a comfortable amount but cannot overindulge and does maintain/lose weight rather than gain it. Because she can...

Hi OP, I have a 58 plate auto kia sorento for towing - 2.5L XE model, and listed on the V5 it has a braked towing capacity of 3500 kg. It is the model listed here: http://www.parkers.co.uk/kia/sorento/station-wagon-2003/25-crdi-xe-5d-auto-(06)/specs/ Other specs of the same age (2007-2009)...

I am 5'3" and have a pair of Toggi Quartz boots for everyday riding. They fit straight away and have sunk a little with wear but not enough to be a problem. I also have a pair of Brogini Modena synthetic boots for competitions - so comfy and not too long for me! So many brands/styles are a...

I have K+M 16.5" GP for my short-backed cob. I got it when she was rather fat with no withers to speak of and it fit really well with the widest gullets, girthed up on the back 2nd and 3rd straps (there are I think 4 girthing points so you can move the straps backward too). She has now changed...

If you could pm me the info that would be really great, thank you! :)

Thanks, I will definitely look into those yards etc. I do have a trailer so happy to travel for a few lessons when we're there, but for the move I think I will use that to take our own/pony's stuff over. I will be looking probably at the west side of Belfast, or north/south - the job is at...

Hi Everyone, I used to have an account several years ago but no idea what the password is.... so starting afresh! I'm hoping HHO might be able to offer some advice on moving my pony from Wales to Belfast? As I have been offered a job over there! I'm looking for any recommendations of...
