Yeah, the person who backed him has much longer legs. Those were on the shortest hole and looped round! My own stirrups are a much more sensible length :D

I've just bought a lightly backed 13.2hh 3 year old irish cob. I wasn't planning on buying a baby, but I saw his face and had to try him. Ridden photo is from when I tried him out. Field photo is from when he first arrived. For reference, I'm 5ft3 and 9 stone. He is a lot narrower than my...

She isn't fine though, is she? With those issues she is likely to deteriorate and eventually won't be field sound. There is nothing wrong with PTS in these circumstances. Its different if you have your own land and can afford field ornaments.

I hope that such a thing is available in this country one day. Some people will just not be able to physically or financially travel overseas for it. We aim to give our pets the easiest end possible, so why not people? RIP Caroline

Thanks, I'll look into these!

I've started riding again properly after slow ambling hacks for the past decade while my children have been small. I had just been using jeans/comfy trousers. I tried on my jodhpurs and none of them will do up at the waist, or if they do then they are very uncomfy! I tried on some riding...

ok, that's good to know, thank you :)

Hi. Usually we make our meadow hay into small bales, but last year we had to do it into large square hestons. We've finally got to the end of our leftover 2020 small bales and I need to start charging for the big bales. I'd love to have idea of what would be a fair price for this. What is...

You'd be better off posting this in the club house :)

You often have to contact the branches themselves about feral/barn cats. I know that my local one is often asking for homes for them on their facebook page. Maybe you could join a few? Where in Yorkshire are you?

I was born in Durban! Lived in JHB and Grahamstown, as well as Botswana and Swaziland. Sorry, can't help with safaris though :)

Updated to say that mine has 8,000 volts at the beginning and 6,500 volts at the end (with 4 gateways in between). It seems to be keeping them in at the moment, I think the trouble is on cold, miserable days when boredom strikes!
