Hi What do people use to tow an ifor williams 510/511 with a 16.2 Irish sports horse please? We have a 2000 land rover disco manual diesel. It always towed my 505 with 16.2 perfectly but we noticed it can jump a little with the new trailer. Driver is experienced TIA xxx

What supplement do people feed for hoof strength and growth please? TIA x

What's the significance of the low port? I've never used a myler before but it's had a lot of recommendations. I don't mind spending out if it works but potentially could be a lot before I find the right one lol!!

Just wondered what snaffles people used? Currently using a neue schule loose ring team up which he seems to go fine in. It's just a little small so could do with the next size up and wanted to see what else there was out there before buying another team up. He can be a little inconsistant in...

Just wondered what people travel their horses in please? Mine is a 16.1 ISH 6'6 rug. We tried a ifor williams 506 today. Every thing seemed good apart from a little snug width wise. Although he has travelled in a 510 and didn't travel great - people have said he could have had TOO much space...

What are people paying for part livery 5 or 7 day. And what do people get for this ? I consider part being everything but tack cleaning, trimming up and riding. TIA x

My horses have always lived out for the summer at least, but this yard is very limited sadly :-( have to say this horse is known as barbie pony as he spends his time flat out in his stable. He stands at the gate most of the time he is out. He likes a few hours then he wants in lol!! But I do...

I don't know why, but feels awful when you drive off and leave them in the field at night. Only used to 5/6 hours day turnout max - (unfortunately that's what you get on livery yards :-( ) so will be nice for him to b out longer x

We have the option of overnight turnout on our yard. I am worried about the obvious - putting on weight and also that he does suffer badly with the midges. Currently the turnout will be 6pm- 10 am. Obviously from next week the south east is set for temps into the 30s so of course he will he...

He's about 16.1 and a 6ft 6 rug so just about. It was mainly the headroom in the old 505 so wondering if it would work?
