    Owens horseboxes

    Just about to order a horsebox from Owens. Any bad experiences with build etc? Had real problems with a new Equitrek trailer from water ingress. Don't want to buy more trouble. Husband grumpy already!:(

    New or 2nd Hand

    I am on the verge of buying a 3.5t horsebox. I like a 2nd hand Alexanders which is very low mileage and in pristine condition, but it is 4 years old and needs some additions-hob/sink and uprate to 3.9t. This is adding another £3k to price. I am also thinking of having one built by Owens for the...

    Personal question - what underwear do you ride in?

    I wear Sloggi maxi knickers but always wear a panti liner for that extra soft padding on top of the cotton gusset.

    Equitrek bubbling panels.

    Thank you Luci07, I have seen the FB story and feel lucky I only bought a trailer! I will contact her, and have messaged HelenS on this forum to get more info. It is bad to expect the dealer to have to make good when it is the manufacturer-Equitrek-who are responsible. The trouble is, we are...

    Equitrek bubbling panels.

    It is 5 months out of the warranty period, but after taking advice from trading standards and (luckily) a friend who is in the legal profession, this is not a closed book. I was just hoping others would be able to share any similar experiences for added ammunition.

    Itchy horse

    I am still having to put Benzyl Benzoate on my horse's mane and tail due to the little biting flies we have. He is also very sensitive to overheating, so I have to be careful not to over rug him. I have to feed a minimal amount of low sugar/starch Dengie just to get his supplements into him. No...

    Waterproof rainsheet recommendations

    I have an American Quarter Horse and they need the higher cut neck. My Amigo rain sheet is a lovely fit and waterproof. I don't think you can beat them for the price .

    Bedding nightmare

    Have you tried shredded paper? I have also seen people use chopped cardboard. I use shavings, but with the wood pellets underneath where my horse pees. This saves the bed getting soaked. I can't leave the pellets in view because he eats them. I have tried the shavings with chopped straw in as...

    Equitrek bubbling panels.

    I have had an Equitrek Multitreka 2015 from new which is (of course) out of warranty. It has in the past few weeks started to bubble along the bottom of the side panels, and also around one tie ring. This is so frustrating and worrying. The trailer is in the basic white, with grey stripes. Has...
