agree and such a shame for the people that worked there :(

The 'old' barn shop was brilliant, then once taken over went from brilliant to rubbish and they never have stock or anything really. Such a shame really. I have no idea if it has closed but it was closed all weekend and then they were open at the feed entrance to sell feed for cash but nothing...

Does anyone know what has happened to the Barn Shop? has it gone into Administration??

omg, was just thinking about you and how you were! long time no speak and my fault I'm sorry! How is your lad going? is this the young one with the previous problems? I know others that have had the op and as long as the saddle is nicely padded and fitted and light then you should be fine. SC...

Only ever had brilliant service from them.

Yes I have been many a time but I know it has been for sale for a long time and they are winding down on all stock, so wasn't sure if they had closed yet or not. I have £50 vouchers for there so I need to get in quick!! :)

PP are they still open??

where are you based? have you thought of a saddle company one? they are fully adjustable and as long as you get a good fitter they are fab saddles. They also do a cob one. There is a good website called saddles4horses - google it, there are a lot of second hand saddles on there and they are also...

you get a guarantee with them anyway so if mine had gone downhill like that in that short of time I would have sent it back no problems. I would imagine that they would be happy to sort any complaints out. As I mentioned I have them in all shapes, sizes and leathers and not one has let me down...

Personally I would steer clear of the Nissan X Trail, mine was nothing but trouble and cost me a fortune. I had the new and improved one 2008 onwards but if that was improved then I'm pleased I didn't have an older one. Tyres depending on where you went and if they actually ever had stock of...

Brilliant, I have 6! However I do freely admit that they are only as good as your fitter which in my case is brilliant! Mine range from 2 x GPs which have part buffalo, nubuck seat and knee rolls and memory foam seats - they are lush! I have the more basic leather and synthetic saddle for my...

Brilliant!! I have a horse like that too!!

Do you have a willow tree? horses like to eat the leaves and bark as it is a natural aspirin to them or you can get white willow bark and make 'tea' with it, once it is fused in the water drain the bark out and pour the liquid on some chaff. Devils claw is very good also plus the Boswelia (sp).

Probably not what you want to hear but I have just lost my beautiful horse to this and other things. He had active KS and fused KS which was already formed and settled. He also had arthritic changes in the sacro area too, plus other problems however, he never reacted to anything, was ridden up...

Sorry to hear of your mare's problems, I know what you are going through! With the problems that she has then no turn out or limited turn out in the winter would be a no no. I would see how she goes on the 2 bute a day and full turn out in the summer and then look for somewhere that has turn out...
