Smart Minstel or Minstel's Smartie ? Or Blue Smartie.

Looking for some guidance. Just reviewed my daughter's GCSE video. She is doing Show Jumping and the exam board is AQA. She is showing all the competences required but her walk, trot and canter are very short sections, quarter of an arena. Do you think this matters? Also she thinks all the...

OK, it is Olympic.

I am considering selling my lorry but am struggling to find similar on the market to bench mark for valuation. If I describe would love people's opinion. 2011 daf 7.5t compact ( 23ft). About 288000 km. 2 x horse forward facing with side ramp. Massive payload over 2t. Big tack locker. Small...

Hi I am considering swaping my 7.5t lorry for something smaller. Would be interested to know how much people pay to maintain their. Probably looking for 4.5t or over costs. I can research insurance but it is real costs I am interested I'm, how much to get through plaiting each year. Servicing...

Hi, any idea how much it may cost to replace a ramp on 7.5t lorry? It has started bowing so got it booked to check etc but am starting to freak myself out with costs! Any ideas?? Having a bad lorry week, just had the fuel tank broken into and diesel stolen damaging it and warning light on fir ABS.

Can anyone recommend a big tail guard? Horse is ID with a thick dock, ones I have had in past barely do up on our connie so wondering about this one. After proction as he rests on it rather than keeping tail clean. Tia

Hi, any ideas for saddles with big deep panels? Ie for a horse who has a low/under muscled back? Our Albions need all the pads on a prolite at back so wondering if anyone can thunk of a saddle would come up higher at the back? Hope that makes sense? Tia

Hi anyone know anything about this lady? Think she is called Jade. Seen a couple of horses advertised, nothing on dodgy dealer groups but like to do my research before contacting as hear horror stories. TIA

Yes but not recently thanks

Thanks Will take a look, so hard as bought a 15hh deep connie 2 years ago thinking we would get a few years out of him and her legs are below his belly in dressage saddle and over front in the jump. Plus looks too small in general.

Lol, we have loads of chickens unfortunately!

When I say not experienced I don't mean novices I just know our limitations. I have ridden all life, daughter most of hers. We are active PC members and gave a good trainer. We have seen a few with BE experience but as she will not be competing at that level not the most important thing. The...

I am slightly at the end of my wits. Been looking for a horse for daughter all summer. Found one recently but failed vetting. All very disheartening. I don't really know what to do, we only have £10k budget. This is actually a lot of money in the real world! She wants to event but only UA 90...

I think you guys are right. I am starting to look for my daughter and am torn between her desire to have something sooner to progress and beable to compete this autumn/winter and waiting for prices to come down. This could be 6 months away!
