Yes, I'm aware that they carry diseases and need to be dealt with - hence my post.... We are managing to just about keep on top of them with poison but they've taken up residence under the chicken run so need to be dug out in the presence of some enthusiastic terriers! I realise they won't...

I am looking for someone to come and deal with a rat problem. Can anyone give me contact details of a terrier man in Wiltshire/Hampshire. PM if you prefer

Where would in find a terrier man to come and deal with a rat problem? I'm based near Salisbury.

Yes, thanks.

On Wilts/Hants border. Near Winterslow/Tytherley

Can anyone recommend a bitting specialist that will come to you? Not Hilary Vernon. I'm based on the Wilts/Hant border.

Has anyone used a Hilary Vernon symmetry eggbutt.....? If so, how do you find the sizing? I heard the are generous - would 1/2" smaller than normal bit size be better or 1/4" smaller....?

Not sure if you're sorted but I have various 5.5" mullen mouths - rubber, happy mouth, full cheek or loose ring.

I'm looking for a 5.5" Neue Schule Team Up or Demi Anky or both! I have various snaffles available, all 5.5" - magic bit, mullen mouth eggbutt, happy mouth mullen mouth full cheek snaffle and a happy mouth mullen mouth loose ring snaffle.

Thanks for the suggestions. Think I'll give the metal mullen mouth a go and see how we get on....

I use Hi-Fi Molasses Free and can't say I've noticed a strong smell. I'm very happy with it.

Thanks. He's 4. The happy mouths are actually harder than the rubber..... I've known of happy mouths to also cause rubbing which is what has stopped me trying them up til now - that and the fact I've loaned the 2 I have to someone and not yet had them returned. I've trawled the horse bit...

I am having real problems finding a suitable bit for my horse. He doesn't like any kind of link and just fiddles with them constantly, so I tried him in a rubber mullen mouth snaffle. He seems to really like it and goes very nicely in it. However, it rubs him inside the corners of his mouth...

Thanks. Have found that seller on eBay - many thanks!
