    Contacting old owner/breeder -good or bad idea?

    I contacted my mare's breeder and he sent me some lovely photos of her as a foal with her mum as well as photos of her dad, grandsire and mum and grandmother. He was delighted to hear how she was doing :-)

    Jeffries "Wembley Pro" changeable gullet saddles

    Has anybody got one of these? If so what are they like? I'm after a new saddle for my horse and have seen one of these that is in budget, I have googled but I can't actually find very much information at all about them!! It's a changeable gullet english leather saddle.

    Where to take trailer to get bent frame repaired?

    In a bizarre accident yesterday my 15.1 mare decided to launch herself out through the jockey door of my trailer - luckily her injuries are only relatively minor (it could have been so much worse) however in squeezing her fat backside through the door she has bent the frame, it looks as if it...

    Why Are People So Underhand?

    If it helps, I had a crash on a country lane recently where my car was written off (not my fault, other party going waaaaaay to fast around a blind bend). I took the payout from the insurance and paid a percentage of that back to the insurers so I could keep my car, and used that money to get it...

    Wessex Clubman or Ifor 505 trailer

    As title, I'm in the market for a slightly bigger trailer than my old rice europa and have seen both the Wessex and the Ifor within my budget. I've read differing opinions on both, and am wondering if either will be big enough to comfortably unload two 15.1 horses from the front (struggled with...

    Any owners of an "Ideal Apex Continental" saddle on here?

    I am helping a friend look for a new saddle and have come across one of these for sale. Her horse is, we think (haven't had saddle fitter yet) a wide fit, medium to low wither barrel shaped 15.1 Connie X appaloosa X TB. Follows the Connie type of shape and is a bit fat!! Does anybody have...

    Low profile riding hats

    I bought a Charles Owen yr8 sparkly helmet a few months ago, I have only got it out of the cupboard this morning, when I tried it on in the shop I didn't think anything of the size, however I've popped it on this morning and turned into an actual mushroom!!! It's massive! No way am I wearing it...

    Anyone had a fly rug from Kramer equestrian?

    Cheap tow vehicle - suggestions?

    I recently bought a 2004 ssangyong rexton, I love it. It's got 3.5t towing capacity, a Mercedes engine and is huge. I paid £1100 ish for it, it's been looked after and had 90k on the clock. It has been reliable so far! Not the prettiest but I am hoping it will last me a good few years!

    My dog bit my horse.

    Yes she did have mites but was never particularly stampy and they are resolved now. Dog does also know the "leave" command but conveniently forgets it when she decides to snap at heels. She hasn't been the easiest of dogs to have from the beginning really and hasn't proven herself easy to train.

    My dog bit my horse.

    And to reply to CorusCorvax just to say thanks for the insight there - at the end of the day I'm not a dog expert (any more than I'm a horse expert - ha!) I'll do a bit of research into dog behaviour and maybe take her to some more training sessions locally
