Thanks all - just going to run Spot On past my vets and hopefully go order some!

Thank you - I will definitely patch test given her sensitivity, but she has 15/20+ tiny ticks on her this morning, across bum, chest and muzzle, so I'm fairly desperate for something properly effective!!

Hi, I've recently moved my horses to a new yard, and am having an absolute mare with the ticks on my two TB's chest / faces - the two ponies aren't as badly effected but they have much more hair on their faces, so think the ticks aren't able to attach as easily. I don't mind removing the odd one...

Hi, I am looking for inventive ways to make my lightweight SJ poles heavier. We are soon to be moving to a new, sole use yard, and therefore my old poles / jump wings from when we were kids need to be pulled from their shed retirement, back into action whilst I save up for some new additions to...

Hi sorry to jump in, but have just posted another thread about these! I’m looking and VW Touareg was high on list (won’t have anything less than 3t capability) but the ML250 has pricked my ears for efficiency / lower tax - was yours the 250 or 350 please? Thanks!

Regularly done to death so apologies in advance, but I can’t specifically find any posts that discuss people using the Mercedes ML250… Now I regularly tow and have been borrowing a family members Discovery 4 which I love, but on account of tax / repair / running costs, not feasible to purchase...

So, the age old question! I’ve had my TB mare for coming on 3 years now, and seemed to have got the formula for just about maintaining her through winter (we have some days I totally panic at the ribs, other days it’s not too embarrassing) and at the first opportunity in spring, we volunteer her...

Yes, fence is either 3 or 4 strings of wire around the perimeter.

Hi, I moved to a yard a couple of months ago - great facilities, flood lit school, nice stables, solarium, the works! I was made aware paddock fencing is being slowly replaced and appreciate it’s a ££ project(!!) with Hotwire equestrian fencing, and some plain wire remained. The other paddocks...

Hello, Has anyone competed at Coombelands ODE please? Can’t seem to find pictures of the XC course anywhere, specifically 90cm. If anyone has been round, my mare makes the jumping easy, but is green/ lacks confidence on ditches / drops - just wondering if the course is confidence building on...

Currently can’t get through to Albion, so hoping someone here may know… are the old Albion SLK’s slightly adjustable by a saddler? I know the Adjusta’s obviously are, but I’m really struggling to find an Albion SLK in brown, 17”. Can only find one made to template, between a M and M/W, and would...

Okay, good to know, didn’t know about the ROR either; thanks! Yes of course, will definitely get it fitted properly! Just good to have some thoughts on them because as I mentioned, haven’t come across them as commonly as the Albion! Thank you! :)

Currently on the hunt for a dressage saddle for a high withered TB. A few months back, I was recommended the Albion SLK or the Harry Dabbs Jaguar. I’m aware the Jaguars are no longer made, but Harry Dabbs seem to do several trees to fit the TB’s specifically. Has anyone had experience with...

Have just tried an Amerigo Basso with a saddler for my high withered TB and very much liked the ride. But I haven’t come across the Amerigo’s particularly before, so interested in peoples opinions please? Liked the fact it was flocked as my mare is only 5 and likely to fill more, but have people...

I have been prescribed the need for a new saddle by my physio... so to my bank accounts despair, we are on the hunt! I have an extremely high withered 5 yo TB (think shark fin) that I would like jump saddle recommendations for? I will be in contact with my saddler very soon, but browsing the...
