    Travelling a youngster in 3.5t box

    Surely that would t work as they need to put their head into the grooms area, also it should be fine, i always find youngsters travel very well in 3.5ts

    Thanks for all the responses, tried it out up a similarly steep track, stopped and started again so should be fine, wish me luck!

    Towing up steep drive

    That’s the problem, ideally we would do that but it’s straight onto a main road with no other little roads nearby. it is a range rover so strong ish but I’m just unsure!

    Towing up steep drive

    it’s a very lightweight trailer at about 800kgs horse is more of a pony so probably around 400 ish. And it’s a automatic 4wd

    Towing up steep drive

    I’ve seen there’s other threads about towing up steep hills, but I’m wondering whether I will be able to tow up a steep drive. For context, I’ve just bought a horse and the drive out of the yard is very steep, and quite tricky to get out of as you have to come to a full stop before pulling out...

    Lightweight Saddle

    Id stay away from devocoux, they’re lovely saddles but I know so many people who have had real trouble as they are almost impossible to refit.

    Pony saddlepad on a horse?

    It’s usually due to seat size I know a large is usually 16.5 - 17.5 so pony one would probably only fit smaller saddles

    Bates advanta

    Does anyone have experience with these saddles good or bad? also wondered if anyone has experience having them fitted, as I’m interested in getting one second hand then having it fitted if possible.

    Are équipe saddles adjustable?

    I’ve found the most perfect équipe in my price range, and just wondered if anyone had any experience having them refitted to another horse? Ive only ever had new saddles so no idea what the process is like. It’s the correct seat size and all, would just need adjusting along the back.
