Thanks for all replies. This has highlighted some really good factors. I will have a serious think about it all. I would definitely be quids in if I had never insured our equines but a bit superstitious about cancelling it!!

I have somehow ended up with 3 ponies that I own and a 3 year old here on loan. All are hardy native breeds. I’ve been insured with NFU but am gulping at the cost and wondering if I should stop insuring them . I have BHS Gold membership. Another option is Agria who certainly don’t pay out as...

Hi, I am looking to sell an older ,low mileage,horsebox. Has anyone used the companies which offer to sell on the owners behalf? If so,would you recommend ?We live a long way from any of these so I feel I would be committed if I took it to them.

That’s useful to know. Thanks very much. I know someone who competes there fairly regularly and she thinks it would be fine for us.

That’s good to know about SNEC

Yes,we always go to Burghley and it is generally pretty good.

Our local centre is the Ian Stark Equestrian Centre. They have very good disabled parking and a very good disabled loo.

Thanks for the replies.They are really helpful. My stable floors do slope downwards towards the door and there is a drainage space beside the door . From the website it suggests that would be sufficient. I do wonder about my 25 year old being prepared to wee. I might ask FG for some names of...

Hi, I’m considering buying these but finding the idea of no bedding a bit strange. Has any used them and would you recommend?

I would strongly advise against NFU. I have insured several horses with them over 20 years but now that we need them they are extremely unhelpful and producing almost unbelievable reasons not to pay out. It’s a distressing time for us and made much worse by NFU.

Thanks for those ideas. I will give them a try.

Hi,I've always kept my ponies on yards with plenty of company.I'm now lucky enough to have the two of them at home. I can ride the younger one out without my older boy getting stressed(as long as he has grub!) but when I ride the older one away the younger gets desperately stressed. I don't want...
