Look at make as well as just 4x4 vs car. And what you can do yourself. My golf is very cheap. Parts cheap and do everything bar mot ourselves. Very easy to fix parts (this is why the vw pickup appeals as our next purchase!) Even I can do most parts! Every fault is common and lots of advice...

Pickup attract a lower rate?! While our navara is more economical than the little golf or vans... It's twice as much to tax and insure due to commercial policy as they expect you to be rough with it (dont even consider Bullbars, they triple costs!) and you have to have commercial even if leisure...

Brilliant :D

I've never come off my big horses and could get on at any point (latest had been off work about 5years). The ponies on the other hand.. I find bigger horses a much more relaxing ride in general. The worst accident I've witnessed was a girl going under a pony. Tend to see people thrown clear...

As above our oldies are allowed to get away with murder. Frequently take detours into yummy bushes and our real oldie seems to aim for your feet and will happily walk through you. As long as it's not dangerous they're allowed to do what they want really! On the flipside if I want them to...

If playing the avoidance technique and bouncing cheques I wouldn't be impressed. If not upfront about it I'd see it setting a precedence... Know where she was before? Id dig a little, if unusual no worries, if common, I'd be looking to move her on quickly if debts stack up.

As a (very short) kid I rode an 18.1 horse as sitting on a pony terrified me. Now I have a bit of a range of sizes but mostly around the 15 mark but odd ones I ride on both ends of the scale. I don't do anything fancy with them and mostly ride bareback. I have the same solution as brightbay...

Yes I've three. They each have their own quirks, very different in personality and one I considered a big mistake for a while... But all are perfect for me. All three will come to greet me in the 35acre field (thank god!) And can catch 100% of the time. One is being brought back into work and...

Yes. Most have been and are cracking but all unbacked (or not ridden in 5+ years) fair percentage unhandled when sold, little to describe wrong! The only one not sold as seen was my barely handled 9yo. I was asked to get her loaded in a week to go to sales. Was told lots of stories about how...

For some reason I keep getting booted off on phone and computer won't load hh up. Thanks Jules that's great, will start there. Thanks to all others too! Yes I have photos (thankfully horses were on other side of the 35acres and a field of fern wasn't an appealing escape route!) They have...

What was her contract? If she's lied about medical history in a contract then instant dismissal is fair. If she's failed to inform an employer of it then the same. If no contract she's got little rights. Either way she's not suited to the job by the sounds of it (long walking and high stress...

We have had an electric company cut through one of our fences to fell some trees (not on our land). We had no notice given and we've not been informed afterwards. One of our trees is down (on our side of fence line with no rights) and the fence has clearly been cut through as easier to access to...

Depends. I have one and I probably wouldn't have considered or would have haggled in last place. It took no longer on the management side than daily checks and lived on site so not a problem, but I hated that I couldn't help her 100% and was always a little uncomfortable. However now I'd not...

Easily. I'd pay someone to take my little drama queen after this weekend :rolleyes::p
