Perfect. Yeah you don’t want them being difficult horses as been pampered and not firm. As long as can be led and pick feet up etc. Totally agree. And a friend just suggested similar with weaning as it will be going to another field in the wagon with youngsters. Fingers crossed now for healthy...

Hi Thanks for the reply. Sorry had no intention of restricting turnout. I just was told that at first just an hour then build up to 247 as I agree no benefit a horse being in unless it’s in work. Yes so I see the weaning will be the most challenging with only having one youngster. Hence I...

hi wind and rain. Thanks for the reply. I’m not in a panic as such. Just not had the opportunity I had hoped for to talk to other breeders over a cup of tea haha. As I felt course was overkill as common sense but the people who said they would help haven’t. So this is perfect and exactly...

Hi Thanks for your reply. I feel that it’s common sense but still just little things I wouldn’t have considered due to lack of breeding experience. And all this is really appreciated and helpful. She’s going away to be foaled down and then back here until weaned youngster will go to...

Hi Thankyou this is exactly what I’m trying to find out. Why straw bed on travelling and not shavings. Just more protection? I won’t take from stud till he advises Which is up the road. Isn’t turn out gradual? Yes I gave 2 post and rail dedicated and rolled thankfully with electric off...

Hi, I asked friends who have bred many foals, is it worth paying to go on the new foal management course or mostly common sense and pick their brains instead? They told me mostly common sense and will give me some tips. However despite asking and even offering to pay they are not so willing to...

Hi Sorry missed this reply. Didnt say where I was based as I do most shows in north west..Aintree, Southview, Northcote, Church Farm are the usual suspects. And can travel for trainer.

I am based in the North West and looking for a regular Show jump trainer and jumping buddies. Seems a big ask if your not already working for a pro or fortunate enough to have the budget to buy a string of expensive horses. I am certainly not knocking anyone who I have had lessons off but I now...

No not resolved. More lies and excuses. Seeking professional advice.

To update my comments as the forum will not allow me to delete the posting. Today I have heard from Nick at Ashbrook horseboxes and he has offered to resolve all issues including payload and paint free of charge. I will finally have the lovely box that I ordered and drop it off next Friday to be...

I commissioned a new build box with Nick at Ashbrook early last year. My personal experience is be very wary as I now have a horsebox without the payload requested. My specification was a contemporary 2 horsebox for away shows. He quoted a 3 month lead time upon finding a chassis. After 3 months...
