    To Vamoose, or not to Vamoose?

    My girl was itchy in the vamoose, I think it actually wasn’t the repellent it’s impregnated with that disagrees with her

    Scary riding school story (long post)

    I think I’d love the green ponies best (oh hang on, not in that sense lol) 😁

    Wheelbarrow heaven

    I’ve just bought the megasaurus of all wheelbarrows. It’s not one of the two wheel types but a giant standard one and I absolutely love it. I can do a whole weeks worth of two ponies out in the daytime, in two trips with it (although the first time I used it I forgot to check how much air...

    Another trailer to lorry thread...Another reason to want to.

    I’ve already said above that I’m not going to hire. I want something there in case it’s needed in an emergency. I understand that in some ways it would make sense but I wouldn’t be able to just get up and choose to go and visit new rides on a lovely day if i had to hire.

    Another trailer to lorry thread...Another reason to want to.

    Mines not quite that hefty on tax, £300 odd and insurance isn’t too bad either. The comfort and ease with which they tow is far better than either of my previous cars.

    Another trailer to lorry thread...Another reason to want to.

    This could be a good plan, I like this idea! I’ve actually just got back from having the car looked at and it is just a hose (yay) and is peanuts to fix (double yay).

    Another trailer to lorry thread...Another reason to want to.

    The Kia Sorento is a fab vehicle for towing. I wouldn’t want to change it because it’s ‘not a good vehicle’. It’s all personal preference. I for one would not want to tow with a vehicle which was not a 4x4 and would question whether a non 4x4 Rav was even legally capable of pulling...

    Another trailer to lorry thread...Another reason to want to.

    I do like to go out with my friends and do usually give lifts but to be fair I myself do only have a 14.1 and a 10.2hh and together they come in at around 650kg. My trailer was also revamped by the person I bought it from and I am considering changing it as he changed the floor and lower part of...

    Another trailer to lorry thread...Another reason to want to.

    Ah, that’s a good point about lorries. I think that’s a good idea to just see about getting the most economical towing car if I find this ones going to cost a bomb to fix or going forward it’s too depressing to see extra cash going into the fuel tank.

    Another trailer to lorry thread...Another reason to want to.

    Mmnn, yes that’s the other thing. I do love driving my car, it’s comfy and responsive. I did take into account the extra cost in fuel too so I’m not out of pocket (slightly better off even after the extra fuel to be honest, but only by a small amount) but I’m predicting that it might...

    Another trailer to lorry thread...Another reason to want to.

    So, I thought I’d start a second thread so I didn’t Piggy back the other one as my reasons for considering the change from my trailer to a lorry is different. I currently have a Kia Sorento and IW 505 trailer. I love towing but rarely go out, maybe once or twice a month in summer (although...

    Haflingers :)

    They are not all bargy and opinionated though! I have a wonderful Haffie mare who is not like that in the slightest. She is however very sensitive and took a long long time to develop her trust in me. I trained her (with help) up to Elementary Dressage, she was always extremely willing to learn...

    Halloween fancy dress ideas

    Oooh ooh ooh, me and my friend literally just did this yesterday :) The bits on her sheet are from an old corn field - the ends of the stalk with the roots attached and some actual bits of picked clean corn, and a Crow :-)
