There is footage on the Daily Mail website showing the bus and taxi that were hit and the rider. There is a definite hole in the bus windscreen. I wonder if the grey horse put his leg through it somehow hence the blood.

Watching that makes my blood run cold. I hope the horses and everyone involved are OK. I do wonder if this will bring into question whether central London is a suitable environment for horses.

Mine lives in a heavy duty plastic box with a clip on lid bought from a DIY store. It's tall enough for bottles of fly spray and detangler. It lives in the stable on top of a big trunk.

This reminds me of an old tom cat I had who would fight a lot and get abscesses on his head. I always knew when he was brewing an abscess as my German shepherd dog would keep licking his head until it burst at which point i would deal with the mess and clean it up. I was taught to tub a hoof...

I use a nose net most of the year. The cause of my horse head shaking is the tiny flies and midges. I often struggle to see them but they obviously bother him. I'd try a fly mask with a nose and ears to see if that helps.

To be fair to the OP they weren't saying they were going to fit saddles without proper training. The OP has got some great advice from two experienced fitters. I have a friend who works for a local tack store as a fitter. She started work in the shop and progressed to trainee saddle fitter and...

I eventually got through to Viovet and then sat in a queue for 30 mins. They explained they are very busy because a competitor closed down. That's a nice problem for them to have but it's not my problem. I pushed for a delivery date and I was told the prescription would be checked today and...

I ordered nearly £300 of Danilon last week from them. Order confirmation stated it would be delivered today at the latest. I've checked online and after 6 days the order status still says 'checking prescription'. I tried calling and the phone doesn't even ring. Sent an email to customer...

Oh no that sounds very stressful. I hope you find somewhere suitable soon. The only piece of advice I can offer is to use your friends and influence asap. If you have a friend on a local yard enquire for vacancies through your friend and/or mention your friend when enquiring direct. Yard...

Here's a link to the advert for those who haven't seen it.

I'm another unfortunately who wouldn't give a penny to the RSPCA. My experience with them was quite a few years ago and the case is too complicated to get into on a forum but they were more interested in threatening and prosecuting people than getting a good outcome for the animals involved.

I've no personal experience of dial fit hats but in addition to your list it looks like Gatehouse and John Whitaker do them.
