    Trailer test next week - advise?

    damn it, not easy posting by phone! sorry. it was blocking the junction, I went round it as instructed by examiner and someone else tried to drive in the junction the other way whilst I was going round the hgv. (it was one of those double Decker, carries ten brand new car things) anyway, because...

    Trailer test next week - advise?

    sorry for double post, on phone... the other thing is you can't account for other drivers. I had a incident where an enormous car transporter was unloading at a garage

    Trailer test next week - advise?

    I'm afraid I wouldn't say it's easy! the drive is NOT the same as normal. I took a wrong lane at a round about, if I'd have been in a car I'd have been right but with the trailer it was the wrong lane apparently. Also I had to take my test somewhere I'd never driven before which also made it...

    Trailer test next week - advise?

    There's lots of info on this website and they certainly used to have the layout for your reversing exercise on there too. http://www.trailertraining-wales.co.uk/test.html It's great being able to reverse until the cows come home, i was very competent at parking in awkward spaces etc but it...

    Local show with baby horse

    If it's local, low key and friendly then i can't see why you wouldn't be ok with what you've suggested. If you're not sure i'd ring the secretary and ask them what they think - that way your mind is at rest and you can concentrate on having fun :) You could mention it to the judge if you felt...

    Hiltop XC in Ledbury

    I really like Hilltop apart from it being a very very long drive for us to get there. The course is lovely for schooling with plenty options but i guess it makes a difference that there is virtually nothing for us to use locally. We've one fantastic course round here which is relatively new and...

    Intelligent worming programme

    I'm another one who was totally and utterly disillusioned with the company. Complete and utter waste of money and time. I made my complaints well known and got absolutely nowhere. It feels like a complete con.

    Bit for horse who likes to tuck his head down and in!

    My first thought as waterford loose ring. the waterford mouthpiece means he effectively can't lean on the bit and with nice hands it doesn't have to be severe. I've certainly used it occasionally for XC and when you require a little more control when the horse is excitable i.e. the beach. i've...

    Benzyl Benzoate

    Seems like i might be in the minority of people who can't use Benz Benz as it's too strong for my boy even used at the right dilution. :( It brought him out in sores. I've got one of those 'I've tried everything' horses... Netex Itch Stop Salve complete, A spoon of marmite in hot water...

    front shoes only?

    This :) One of mine is only shod on the fronts. The other is trimmed all round and gets on fine. (It's nothing to do with being pro barefoot, it's just he's well trimmed traditionally and he manages perfectly with it :))
