My old girl (24) has never had a day of lameness in the 20 years I have owned her and we jumped and hunted lots! Once her foal is weaned next month she will be back out hacking again. She would still be jumping but I don’t have the time or desire atm! I’ve recently sold her 13 year daughter who...

My mare had her foals at 10, 20 & 22 all with no probs at all

I’m going to Leave the land as it is. I feel bad for horses owner stuck on livery and those who want the freedom to keep Horses out 24/7 etc so thought perhaps I could offer a few of my own u used acres but thinking more and reading your comments I realise it’s not worth the hassle so I will...

Thanks everyone, I’ve been thinking about for 3 years and always wondered why I never bit the bullet. Subconsciously I always thought it might be more hassle than it’s worth 😂 I’ll just need to buy more of my own horses 😜

extra money always helpful but was more to give someone the opportunity to have their own few acres, but I know they will prob come with a lot of heartache for me. A local farmer who rents some other land from me will take it for cattle so that’s prob what I will do

😂 this is my worry!! If I do decide to rent I will vet very carefully!

I have 2-3 acres spare and thought someone with non ridden horses would appreciate renting it for year round grazing! Never rented my land before, will it be more hassle than it’s worth to rent out! I don’t live near it so won’t be taking any part in care simply offering the land. I don’t want...

Im in N Ireland so test still applies if combo is over a 3500kg if im correct? I will need to look At v5 to get weight. Thanks

If crew cab won’t work What about going to a pick up type car with a covered back? We tow a large 6 berth caravan with a van but it only has the 3 seats so I take the car too which is a pain. Crew cab is next on our purchase list but I alway thought they had room for 5?

In Northern Ireland so test still required in some instances

@ROG sorry to jump on this post but would it be ok and legal to tow a ifor Williams 403 with a 600kg horse with a 2015 ford custom without B+E (passed in 1999) will take the test if I really need to 😂

not that we are Alco’s but on trip away we like to enjoy a few vino. I’m a trainers or wellies girls anyway & even on our monthly hikes we take a bottle beer to toast the summit of a climb rather than water ?

We have decided to go next year and booking camping and enjoy and nice weekend on site without traffic jams and transport hassle! tbh I think hubby is delighted as it gives me time to arrange a friend to come instead ?

I think we might cut out losses this year and be more prepared next year and take our camper van over and hopefully get into the camping area if we book early enough ?? Not sure I want to have the hassle of the transport issue and with flights, hotel, tickets etc it’s a pricy weekend to be stuck...

Thanks for this
