That's really reasonable. I think mine was 17% but Id rather 17% of a 10k bill than 10k haha.

This is about how much i was looking at paying so thanks. Ill check out the insurance company as well. Mine was pretty good to pay out but £75 a month without LOU!

Would there be a genuine reason why a seller would not accept a 2 stage do you think?

Oh no! Im sorry to hear that. I suppose in reality anything can happen at any point, I just want to try to mitigate any future mental trauma (mine)

Between my last 2 horses and my current dog insurance has paid out 26k so for me, its the only way. My one TB would have been PTS without it. I understand why some people choose not too but ive had to much bad luck for it not to be an option. Thanks for the tips.

Thanks everyone. Lots to consider. I didn't even think of insurance implications for over 5k. I said around 7k as I thought it partially realistic for a nice sporty type allrounder to make 16.2hh. Prices are all over the place at the moment! I would not consider not insuring due to the amount...

Call it bad luck but I feel like I've been surrounded by broken horses in the past few years, if I've not owned them I have been friends with people who have owned them. I've also seen them get passed around dishonestly by people I feel are generally good people which means I have little to no...

Thanks. I think I’ll buy it and have a play around with it without the horse to see how it feels. Thanks for the advice, really helpful :)

I already knew that was what the car would tow as I’ve written it in the add I just wasn’t sure how if it works well as a have read about a non 4x4 swaying around in the wind. I guess I just do t want to buy one and then it can’t do a job :( it’s really stressful! ?

I was going to buy one but obviously don’t want to if it’s not going to tow as I already have other vehicles. :(.

Oh no, that’s disappointing :(

Hi I’m wondering if anyone has or is pulling with a Audi Avant 2.7 tdi. The unbraked towing capacity is 2100kg and I want to pull 1 16hh medium weight horse in a older style Ifor Williams trailer (don’t have model details unfortunately ) I’m trying to figure out what I can and can’t do and it’s...

Thanks for this it’s really helpful and actually he has taken really well to dressage but he also seems to enjoy drag hunting once he settles. When he was turned out he just appeared depressed if that makes sense, he always had his ears flat back and would kick out when I tried to change his...

Thanks for this. This sounds very much like him. Can I ask if you kept him or if he went someplace else? Could you take him Away , to shows for example?

His injury was in his lorry. He has always travelled very well but this time he lost control and came over the partition, it was terrifying and he came away with extensive injuries.
