Been in the same situation as you, horse was scared of people so couldn't shoot as they couldn't get near enough and he was scared if vets. Ended up hiding him round thexl side of a wall with the vet out of sight so the vet could sneak a sedative injection in which then sedated him enough to be...

I've always used a baby spacer over one nostril and closed the other with a cupped hand. Works a treat x

I ride one of mine without a noseband or browband. I've never had an issue at all.

I've done a few of these starting from poles and logs up to 80cm and they have all been fantastic

I have one on loan from the BTRC and so does my neice. I cant fault them at all. I'm not aware of them putting horses to sleep unless there are valid behaviour or medical reasons, which quite frankly is fair enough in my book. I'm absolutely positive I have seen horses turned out in winter too...

I towed with a high mileage Q5 & ifor double trailer carrying one 16h horse with no problem at all and never had any issues with the car. My husband is a car trader and had great faith in the car. Only swapped as I needed to carry two big horses and it would have struggled.

Some advice would be greatly appreciated please. Bit of background for context. Got a new horse in July last year. He was being ridden in an Albion 17 inch saddle but it clearly didn't fit very well at all and he had no top line and a lot of muscle atrophy. I asked our local saddle company to...

Yes I did with my old mare, it had loads of date on so well worth it

I got a lovely one from Horsemanship Saddlery, not cheap but beautiful quality and still looks brand new 3 years later. So much so I have just bought another bridle from there for my new one.
