My old horse had them and they never really caused any issues - he needed a fly mask with ears, and didnt particularly like you messing with his ears, but aside from that I often forgot he had them until a teenager asked why his ears were going mouldy 😂 Provided I didn't want to show etc it...

I currently have two - the jump from one to two was fine, but honestly I've made the jump to 3 twice and both times I have found it absolutely too much, especially with working full time. Definitely consider what you would get from #3 that you aren't getting from #1 or #2, would be my advice

2 on part livery 10/15 mins from home - 1 ridden, 1 driven

For what it's worth, my 14.1 highland was on the weigh bridge this weekend and was 580kg, with a body condition score of 3-3.5, and is also long enough in the back to take a 17/17.5" saddle - so they do exist. He is wide so maybe not the best for stuff hips, but I'm 5'5, chunky, and short in...

Mine is a miniature Shetland but he has the partition out, we have made a barricade which attaches to the full width breast bar, and he's tied up under his chin to travel (and he chooses how he wants to stand, which is normally herringbone)

I also tow with the 2L AWD Kuga - it has no issues with my pony (570kg) and Shetland (170kg) and my trailer (900kg unladen) up and down peak district hills, but like dottylottie, I wouldn't want to put more than that in it! Fuel economy also not too bad as a towing vehicle and a daily vehicle...

I'm a big fan of using a full width breast and breach bar for travelling one in a double trailer - plenty of room for awkward loaders, tacking up, booting etc and otherwise hiding inside on rainy days 😂

4WD Ford Kuga - has towed my 900kg trailer with 800kg of horse through the peak district with no issues so far! 2100kg payload

Llanymynech have posted the cancellation of their July 2025 date and disaffiliation with BE

30, and my boys are 4 and 9 🥰

I have an August baby, he's just turned 4 but still very much looks like a 3 year old - he's a late maturing breed anyway so I'm assuming he will catch up in his own time!

I tow with an AWD Ford Kuga - generally only have 1700kg maximum in the back and it has a capacity of 2100kg, it's not struggled yet with our big hills and is very easy to park in car parks/economical to drive.

I'm currently towing with the AWD 2.0L Kuga (2100kg towing capacity) - generally only take the trailer (900kg) and one horse (no more than 600kg) and it doesn't struggle with the peak district hills (until I tried to use cruise control after a bad run up at the large hill on the way to Beaver...

Game changer for mine - he's on 1 tablet a day, his fat pads and crest disappeared, he became happier and more alert, no longer drinking an entire bucket of water a night. It took him about 2 weeks to settle with it but he went a bit lethargic for a few days, low appetite etc - some suggested...

Thank you - suspect I've been wildly overthinking this!
