I don't show so no help other than you should have a headslip attached to the snaffle (like a double bridle) with a rugby pelham

Yesterdays rain has tipped us over the edge :( now 1/2 of our stables are under water, barn is a foot under and the dry field I moved horses onto a couple of days ago now looks like a lake. Luckily our house doesn't flood but the fire brigade have been busy pumping water out from those that do.

An Australian noseband which holds the bit higher up and further forward in the mouth, might help break the habit.

Glad its worked for you op. Tess Love, I haven't used it with shavings but its works really well with flax.

I would also ring them. I buy equisorb by the pallet and can't see many feed shops having room to store a lorry load of each type of bedding they sell so would think almost all of them will sell by the pallet. I don't know about chopped rape but colehay sell chopped straw and chopped miscanthus...

I'm not an expert on these saddles but think the SE is a flat seat, the 17 is the seat size and the rest relates to the flap length and forwardness. There should also be other letters and numbers which will tell you the type of panels, year of manufacture and serial number. I would contact CWD...

I haven't had any babies for a while but would always start them in a full cheek with some kind of double jointed mouth piece. I also like the ns bits, two of mine are in the verbindend at the moment.

My Kitt neoprene full chaps, not flattering but they keep me warm, dry and clean (ish) I also have muckboots with the lethal soles! but they are designed for riding in, as moleskinsmum says they do other versions with much more grippy soles.

I would avoid the cargos as its true, the cabs rot badly. I have had a few roadrunners and they were good little workhorses. Along with the payload the most important things for me are a tilt cab (if the cab doesn't tilt no one wants to work on them as what would of been a simple job becomes...

Got mine for £22 + postage from ebay :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Fyna-Lite-Wood-Pellet-Fork-Pellet-Master-/191021647983?pt=UK_SportingGoods_StableAccessories_SM&var=&hash=item2c79c7086f

I use a pellet master fork, the tines are really close together so great for picking up all the tiny bits.

I have used a vinegaroon to darken faded bits (always the parts exposed to sun) on a wow saddle, unlike dye it wont come off and stain your clothes but it will make the saddle stink for a while! If you google it you will find lots of instructions but I found it works much better if you also use...

Sent you a pm :)

I was thinking of trying a Micklem but decided against it when horseware confirmed they are made of Indian leather.
