    https://classifieds.horseandhound.co.uk/horses-for-sale/leisure-horse/heavyweight-17-1-percheron-hack-502103 Might be a bit too big/young (17.1hh, 7yo) and doesn't sound like he has been in much work recently (owner injury) but looks the sort you are after so thought i'd link. :)

    Breast bars made to order by blacksmith

    if there is any chance you could post a photo of them? I'd love to get some made myself (and save spending a fortune on the real ones!) and it would be very useful to have a photo to show them! 😄

    Grazing muzzle 22/7?

    My IDxTB lives off thin air and i’ve had her muzzled in the day since the grass started growing. She isn’t on rich grazing, but is obviously getting enough grass as she is still starting to get tubby. She is ridden daily. Do you think it would be ok to leave the grazing muzzle on her all the...

    Straightening a leather browband?

    Bit of an odd question! I recently bought a bridle second hand, and the browband is a bit wonky/twisted and doesn't lie correctly (looks like its been scrunched up somewhere for a while!) Is there any way that I can straighten it out? It's english leather and just a plain flat browband.

    Over-reach boots for the field

    Definitely neoprene/kevlar ones! I've used Premier Equine, Le Mieux and Trizone and would rate them all (probably pick the PE out of the 3 though). Horse wears OR boots whenever he is out on the field as prone to over-reaches. These have all stayed on through the depths of winter/mud, and are...

    Woof wear paddock boots - any reviews?

    Looking at buying a new pair of jodhpur/paddock boots, and seen a pair of Woof Wear paddock boots in the sale. Ideally I'd love a pair of Ariats, but not sure the budget will stretch! Has anyone any experience of the Woof Wear paddock boots?
