Thank you very much trailer guy. Yes, I think it was the Discovery detachable tow bars that have given the detachable ones a bad reputation amongst horse owners. Mine was a fitted flange tow bar on that vehicle. I was given some duff info on the Kia tow bar it would seem, by both the salesman...

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place, the forum has changed a bit since I last visited. I've put a post in the 'Tack Room' but it may be better here. Does anyone tow with a new shape (2015) Kia Sorento? It seems that the latest reincarnation of the Kia Sorrento can only have a detachable...

Thank you, good idea ROG!

That's the case with the automatic. The manual has 2500kg 😊

It seems that the latest reincarnation of the Kia Sorrento can only have a detachable tow bar rather than a fitted version. We have found a Sorento that fits our criteria and has a tow bar to replace my unreliable Discovery 3, however, I'm rather worried about the detachable tow bar as have...

Deosect - really easy to use. You dilute it and a tin goes a long way. It can be used in a sprayer in summer as a very effective fly spray. Cleared up my lousy chap immediately!

Tweed! Surely it's dependant on which enclosure you're in as if in members I'd have thought no jeans etc. long time since I went - 20 odd years ago, so things might be different now.

Kate, you are very brave to have posted a photo on this forum - I have said I never will! You look great on him - ignore the rude people!

I know of a Primitive Rising horse that cribs too - very interesting.

A hoof pick can help get them out. The burrs also have an itching powder effect as you break them up - horrid things! I would spray conditioner in their manes and rails but it would probably be easier to get rid of all the burrs first!

A lady in our Pony Club has a 14hh version also from Bransby and she's a fantastic jumper. They've had her for about 3 years now, and the younger daughter will have her eventually. Definitely worth considering giving him a home.

Has he had more protein than normal? This can make their hind legs swell sometimes. My elderly TB had this last year when he was on good grass. It's usually their hind limbs that swell because they are further away from the heart. Vet advised me to give Epsom salts in his feed and this brought...

We saw you! We have a coloured too so I noticed yours. My son commented that he liked your bridle too :-) Well done - did you have to wait a long time for your class too?

Artists that usually do pastels etc may well be prepared to do a graphite/ pencil drawing for you. Try Susan Robertson - Animal Portrait Artist on Facebook or just type in animal or pet portraits and see what comes up, there are loads on there including many of those mentioned further up the...

This is exactly what I think. One wonders if it has been "dealt with" on a previous occassion for similar behaviour and having got the rider off is getting its own back.
