    Showing greys ahhhh!

    Too late for tomorrow's show but I have two greys (one pure white) and swear by Absorbine Superpoo and Show Clean - worth the money as a little product goes a very long way. Best of luck!

    Percherons (or heavys)

    I've had my Percheron for c. 5 years, he's now rising 12. Bought him as a happy hack for my husband. After a break from riding due to work commitments I am just bringing back into work with a view to doing fun rides and a bit of dressage with him.

    So angry! Low flying civilian helicopter made no attempts to avoid my horses!

    Thanks for your reply. I would say he was 120ft max alongside the houses, but our land is on a hill so as he flew between by my oak tree and that of my neighbour's he was extremely low - I actually thought he was coming in to land!!! Importantly, he was not above my oak tree as he flew...

    Too Late to make ammends?

    I agree...it may wise to go as far as to apologise and say that distance has given you some perspective. If they are as nice as you say, it's likely to mean a lot to them and assist in restoring your friendship and mutual trust, as there would be no awkward unfinished business. What you may...

    Hi JazzyB I won't go into detail as plenty of other have done that job for us....but as you've gathered you're a member of big group of us that are clearly mad! On the long winter nights, it's particularly hard but I always tell myself that when I'm old and infirm I'll always be able to...

    So angry! Low flying civilian helicopter made no attempts to avoid my horses!

    I am so angry! At c.10:30 this morning a blue Robinson style single engine helicopter flew over my land (and that of my neighbour) at the most unacceptable height - c.200ft max, within 500ft of our houses, our stables (should have been a clue there!!!) and preceded to fly straight over my...

    Can you get an 18hh horse in a trailer?

    If you were being a purist, for maximum safety and stability you would not tow more than 85% of your vehicle's kerb weight. With many trailers at c. 1,000kg that means you would only have 615kg spare to tow one horse or two small ponies. You are right to be cautious with a pick-up however...

    Can you get an 18hh horse in a trailer?

    We've got a Range Rover Sport and a Discovery - need something that big really to tow that kind of weight safely.
