Yes I thought, new forests, Moor ponies, shetlands etc etc... but then thought what is a Drum Cob..still a type of mixed breed I suppose?

But is a Gypsy Cob a native?

Thank goodess for this, I was having a mini meltdone haha, although I thought natural meadow grass must have it.

We have a meadow that has been untouched, in the chemical sense, has been manured via horses, been rested/harrowed/rolled... It's all growing lovely, but is now a sea of buttercups!!!!! We intended on making hay for the horses from this field, is this a problem, I know horses tend to avoid...

I can't believe if I bought a 800kg trailer and my cob was 500kg.. my grand scenic would pull it????????????????? Why don't u ever see ppl pulling trailers with cars like that?

Usually the min you mention freelander on here, ppl go nuts lol, nice to hear something positive, my friend has a diesel automatic, and it is a slug!

No more questions I promise!! Cheers! Am actually quite surprised how much you can tow with "normal" cars... like my old saab 9-3 convertible, would have nearly towed it!

thankyou so much!! that wouldn't be much different from my scenic!! I am currently putting about £30 in it a week just flitting around here and there!! is yours a manual? How much do you pay tax?

Sorry for being dumb!!!!!!:D so I have a grand scenic for an example it is 1600 and it can tow braked Max weight of 1300kg, so if the trailer was 1000kg, I can tow a 300kg pony??

OK am on autotrader!! Am I supposed to be looking at Max towing weight unbraked?

Thankyou for taking the time to reply, i shall google vehicles... with that towing capacity! Can anyone recommend an economical car through experience?

Yes I am well old!... Not sure about weight of trailer as I don't actually own one! was just told its very light weight, sorry this is all rather vague, not overly sure how heavy the horse is either!!!!!! could we talk hypothetically?

I am on a low budget and currently have a friend who lends me her lorry or car and trailor!! Yes she is wonderful to me! I would really like to swap my current family car for a vehicle capable of towing a 16hh cob. I have access to a light box. Is there a car that would be economical as a...
