Thorpe horse boxes, every time. They will listen to EXACTLY what you want and give sound advice If you are unsure.

Run your electric tape through the barbed wire, with a current.

I'd like to buy the reins but want buckle ends rather than billets, as I have arthritic fingers. Iv e messaged them to ask but had no response. Does anyone know if they come with buckle ends??

We went to Horsebox seller too! The advert we answered bore no relation to the truly awful vehicle it was attached to! Other rubbish vehicles there too, very expensive. Avoid it!! THe next one will be a Thorpe Horsebox. They have a brilliant reputation.

Well, first you concentrate on what it takes to care for your horse in its present predicament, how you can help it and how to proceed toward its rehab. feeling such resentment against anyone with a sound horse isn't healthy and are you being unkind to anyone? most people in this situation are...

It would be nice if your farrier did it in stages and tried not to hold her legs too high or for too long. She sounds stiff and uncomfortable.

I don't hack my horses out any more because it's just not safe, but two abreast on a straight road is perfectly ok. You are no wider than a car. Riding with the young horse on the inside is the right thing to do. Coming back to intimidate you is unacceptabke. Report it. The police won't do...

I'll second cherry tree.

You will need to strip it out on a regular basis. If you leave it too long you will find it incredibly hard to dig out and you will be putting a huge amount on your yard muck heap which might cause an issue. Once a week will work well. As you are on livery it's worth checking with your YO. I...

About five to seven weeks to heal, but I was told you must wait til it no longer hurts to breathe, cough, sneeze or hiccup before riding. Otherwise you risk dislodging a partially healed rib and could be in danger of puncturing your lung. I've twice had ribs broken and I sympathise!

Iv e only skipped through quickly but can't find if OP has posted again or said what checks were done? He's 4, for goodness sake, shouldn't wear a chiffney and not put on a bute trial. Something isn't right, plus his age, and he will be in big trouble if he doesn't get help OP, and tbh you dont...

Equitech. Really lovely jackets and not Pikeur prices!

Don't " leather" him, getting physical won't do anything except hurt him and that's not right. As others have said, you aren't going to suddenly make him behave so remove him from where anyone needs to work.

He's only 4, so it's a steep learning curve for him, and cantering especially in a confined area like a school, is difficult enough with an experienced, balanced rider. I wish you well and hope it has a happy ending but it always worries me when nervous novices buy youngsters however kind that...

I bought Rhinegold long leather boots for schooling because they are cheap, and was really surprised at how nice they are! Lovely shape, comfortable, and very long! I'm quite tall and getting boots long enough has been an issue in the past. I have competition boots but would wear these to...
