    Tell me about Cleveland Bays

    I’m the total opposite to everyone on this thread, I recommend CB’s to a lot of people. I’ve owned one for ten years and she is by far the best horse I have ever owned. Safe as houses never spooks and def not backwards thinking, a pleasure to deal with and has the nicest temperament of any...

    Outside my back door this morning

    See now I'm welsh (non fluent) and I cannot roll my r's, find it impossible. Pretty good on pronunciation, work with an office of welsh speakers :P

    Outside my back door this morning

    Have just bought in Brongest so wont be too far from you. Have lived in Carms for the past 8 years, moved around a bit. Can't wait to have the horses back home, they've been on livery since Oct, love it, love the riding, love the owners but I just like my guys at home.

    Buying a house with land, keeping horse at home.

    Honestly an acre wont be enough. I've kept my lot at home 90% of the time (livery years and years ago but have had smallholdings since), we moved off a 20 acre smallholding in spring to a 3.5 acre and I've just had to put my three on livery because 3.5 acres is just not enough.

    Off to Wales to try again next week.

    As long as the spotty nutter can be avoided then yes :) Going to explore Gwernogle on the weekend after clipping, they're getting a bit hot to go out for more than hour now.

    3.5 ton lorry buying woes

    Traveltwo (Polly) is extremely helpful, I didn't buy from her but did have a lot of advice and she has recently sold a box that was made by the same builder as mine (he only made a handful), apparently it's one of the best boxes for safety by a non horsebox manufacturer. I was pretty lucky and...

    Winter Shoeing

    My riddens are only shod on front and have been for years. Never had an issue, do road work and lots of forestry tracks.

    Off to Wales to try again next week.

    I'm lucky, everywhere I have lived in Carms has had amazing hacking, have just moved my horses up on top of Llanllwni for the winter so am spoilt for choice, hopefully buying in brechfa next spring providing all goes to plan. Llanllwni/brechfa/caio/llandovery is all great, anything else is, as...

    ID vs CB

    CB everytime. I own a purebred bred mare, quite possibly the best horse I've had. Ye she has her quirks but that stops things from getting boring. Last week I took her out for her first hack in 12 months, didn't bat an eyelid at anything across open mountain with motor bikes and shot guns all...

    Riding around Hermon/Cynwyl Elfed

    That road is pretty horrendous and very very busy. I don't think there is much riding around that area. There is a group on facebook Carmarthenshire Riders, its run by the bhs bridleways officer and lots of knowledgeable people on there. You looked at the brechfa/New Inn/ Llanllwni area? loads...
