    Horse Walker - Concrete or Rubber? Please help!

    The problem with rubber is it doesn't allow the horses foot to slip as it lands, putting more pressure on the joints. We have road plannings on ours, has a bit of give but also some grip, they do make a track in it but 10mins with a rake and back to flat

    Trailer problem-please help!!! Mechanical question..

    as turnbuckle says if done properly it will be perfectly safe. It happens all the time on Ifors, the thread on the stub axle isn't up to much and all it takes it a small piece of rust and it strips. Take it on the 3 remaining wheels to your local Ifor dealer and they'll be able to sort it

    BS Registration. My head is exploding.

    They ask for a second and third choice in case 'ambers echo' is already taken. I just put the same name but with numbers after as in 'ambers echo ii' and for the reg number just put 'new registration'

    Muck heap ideas

    We have an old silage trailer for our muck. Not very stealable as can only be moved with a tractor plus not worth much so wouldn't be worth the hasssle of taking it. Maybe see if you landlord has one you can use, you'd be surprised at what farmers have sitting under/in brambles

    What do you think a 3yo should be doing under saddle?

    Nothing until the autumn of their 3 year old year, then backed as you would any horse and then turned away until end of Feb, bring back into to work at the start of march. 4 year olds are only 90 at the start of the year, which shouldn't be challenging to a SJ bred horse

    Trailer for onroad/offroad use - possibly daft question!

    We use a bateson b64 with wide tyres. It goes behind our quad for fencing and behind the 4x4 for picking supplies up

    Le Chameau neoprene or jersey lined?

    I wear my Le Chameau all year and fine the neoprene too hot so would rather just an extra pair of socks in the coldest weather

    Trailer/towing - audible indicator 'noise has gone..

    It's doesn't have to be an audible warning. My discovery has a flashing trailer symbol on the dash when the indicators are working but my L200 does a 'fast flash' but only if the indicators aren't working

    Totally confused about tow bars

    Make sure they fit a vehicle specific wiring loom and not a universal one. Had a garage put towbar on my disco, they fitted the universal wiring which played all sorts of havoc with my lights
