If you go to Eland lodge, they use temporary stables which are on the small side (I think 10x10ft, but didn't measure it!), they also get quite warm if its sunny. You are however allowed to create a corral on grass to use during the day so make sure to take electric fencing - I really enjoyed...

My mare had a bone scan last March and the cost was around £1500 including stabling. The vet had already identified a hole in her suspensory and some mild arthritis in her hocks and wanted to do the scan to see if there were any other issues before making a treatment plan. Luckily it didn't flag...

I have a cheval 2003 XL, which is their larger version. I don’t know the exact dimensions, but my 16.3 has plenty of space. From memory I believe it’s about 200kg lighter than the ifor equivalent.

To second this one, get your saddle checked. My mare became incredibly sore from the saddle she has had for nearly 7 years as she changed shape with the rehab. She was perfectly comfortable over her back at the previous physio appointment, but about 6 weeks later lunged and bit me when asking...

I would get both your vet and physio to visit and give him the once over, if they are both happy you may need to be pushing him more to work correctly. We are 6 months into rehab and do find that while she is probably the fittest she has ever been, now we are back in the arena she will do 20...

I use a hay sling instead - I got it from ebay, not sure if it was this one, but you get the idea...

I use a 50g Shires as a lightweight turnout as I find it much better (less sweaty and more waterproof) than a no fill, but it doesn't have the same 'snug' feeling as other 50gs that feel like they offer more warmth. if I feel like she needs a little warmth I switch into a 50g amigo, which is a...

I bought the EqueTech Solstice a few years ago and really rate it. Holds up to the rain, and opens up well to ride in

I’ve just had a claim with E&L for Suspensory ligament and Arthritis which were both discovered from the same investigations. They split them out as separate claims, just required the vets to invoice them separately. It’s worth asking, the worst they can do is say no. It saved me enough money to...

I don't know if Cheval still make larger trailers, but the older 2003XL model is larger - I can't remember the specifications, but when I was looking they were equivalent to an Ifor 510 and I've travelled a 16.3 ISH who wore 7" rugs in mine.

You can get an inverter which plugs into your cars cigarette lighter and converts to a standard plug. I got one for less than a tenner, but about 5 years ago now. It worked with an extension cable to run clippers for me - you do need to be able to park the car somewhere nearby though!

I've just bitten the bullet and ordered the test after reading the reviews on this thread. Its expensive, but I can't find a negative review, and will hopefully work out cheaper than trial and error on different supplements! My mare is really sensitive below the stifle on her right side, which...

I ordered a coat from them and it has been held by parcelforce because it has customs charges on it. When I finally got a response from Horze they acknowledged that it was a mistake, and they are currently dealing with a lot of them (it stated vat included on the website, so their cock up). They...

It does still have the flexible panels, but the bottom of the Racesafe has a kind of flap at the bottom so has extra movement. Hopefully the image makes more sense, as I'm describing it terribly!

I really liked the look of the Champion, and it is slightly cheaper than the Racesafe, so found a stockist that had both so I could compare. The only difference for me was that the back panel of the champion is one piece (although with the flexible pieces), while the Racesafe Provent sort of...
