A friend and I were riding in an outdoor arena belonging to yard just along the road from where I keep mine. We were playing with the jumps and we found a long, thin metal bar next to the poles. When she asked about it they said 'its best not to ask'. I was thinking of getting lessons...

The civil service horses are all sent away for long summer holidays every year too :) In the winter they are in all 24/7 but they are very well exercised as they have their daily duties and then are also often used for the civil service riding club lessons too. Or at least that was the case...

I think you have made the right decision too. You gave it a really good try which is all anyone can ever do. I really feel for you but you are being so brave and putting the horse first. For what its worth I've seen 4 horses PTS with injection over the past 2 years and none were at all...

It's making me feel rage on your behalf! I mean I am glad that there's a towbar that WILL pass the test, but how unhelpful can Jeep actually be. They won't even acknowledge all the work that someone else had to do to create a new towbar - something Jeep should have done IMO. The worst...

So basically that dealer won't retest? If that's correct then what a total farce. HOW do these companies get away with it...

Everyone has posted what I'd say too :) I'd go down the list lol Vet check back check teeth check saddle check feeding for fibre not starch turnout/boredom etc etc Hope you find out what the issue is!

Glad to read he's looking better, foot abscess' are a nightmare, I had to treat one for months in the summer time although the horse luckily was not very lame on it. Hope things keep improving!

I'm really pleased that there is a solution to this problem (bar disclaimer/useless bar route). Huge thanks to all who posted here, took this up with Jeep and to MikeK and towtrust for making the towbar. It's a real relief to something that's been hanging over a lot of us I think. I am...

This made me laugh, must be related to mine! Mine once had what can only be described as a fit: threw herself onto the ground, making awful noises, groaning. Got the vet out within 30 minutes, I truly thought she was dying or something had gone seriously wrong. Vet gave her a painkiller...

I agree with this point very much. I used to ride the calvary horses in London on lessons with the civil service riding club and those horses are fine in a pack, they move around together through huge crowds but try to circle them on their own in an arena and it's a very different thing...

I am up for the facebook group. However I also think that we should start the name game again tonight on the W for Wrangler picture tonight when their staff are gone home! Jeep can't stop anyone registering a new FB account to post, over and over and over.

I am absolutely fuming at all this and have been following the thread since it started. My good friend saw this thread and pointed it out to me prior to any letter being sent to me but the letter has since arrived. My Jeep is now booked in on the 10th December - I am trying to stall it to...

Same. I tried deep litter on shavings/rubber mats and it was disgusting. I then tried just a small amount of shavings on rubber mats and it was also disgusting lol I just put a full shavings bed down, clear it out fully every day, leave it up to dry during day and the mats are more like a...

I rather enjoy looking like mounted police!! I've a grey horse but I prefer yellow to pink tbh :)

wow he did shoot up. Gorgeous looking boy btw :)
