Hi, weve had our equisport horsebox for a few years now and adore it but ive seen there new shape ones and reeeeally want one (husband has finally agreed haha) i could either part x mine against a new one or sell it, but im not sure what 3.5 horseboxes are worth 2nd hand? I've looked...

dont worry it will come, get a young horse going forwards, and make sure they have straightness, a good rhythm, and balance and the "working on the bit" will come, dont rush them so many riders think its a race to produce a "made horse"

we have the light rubber backed carpet also and it lifts so easy compared to a rubber one, rubber is great but only if your ramp is designed for it with the weight

ditto the vintage tackroom, they sell some really lovely bits and come up odd sizes too. i got a lovely handmade one from there

we had a equi-sport horsebox built for our "then" stallion, i knew he was a bit of an idiot to travel so had it reinforced for him, he litterly double barrels the backwall, paws the front and its taken upto his stupidness, so you could always ask them to change bits to suit him. Weve had him...

ive apid anything from £60 - 200 depending what needed doing, infact a very old retired saddler costs £20 near us but he only does a few saddles a month

heel raisers also ;)

I have an equi-sport box - infact weve had 2 ! we part excahnged our old one and ordered a new shape one. we loved our first equisport box, and my grandad offered to lend me the cash to upgrade , so we did ! we never had an issue with our paint on either one? but i know when we placed the...

I've often wondered this too

We had a bateson ascot and it was great v light towed super even with 2 large horses in. I dislike the ifors , the old styled looked better quality but the newer ones 506/511 although look nicer look flimsy ! We we decided to upgrade we looked at new trailers/7.5t box a and 3.5t boxes and...

Bateson All the way! We had one before buying a 3.5t box but by far better than ifors

We have my sons old pony loaned out luckily we get regular Facebook updates so we see him out and about having fun
