I have just got my 2 year old (next month) boy a Champion body protector, even though he is tall for his age, it is still quite long in the back and very bulky, it really tips him forward in the saddle. Can anyone recommend a different make that is better for little people, I was thinking maybe...

I'm looking at 3.5t lorries, it definitely has to be alluminium, with the safety cell and reinforced steel bulkhead (heard too many horror stories about GRP, my friends lorry split down the side when she drove under a gutter!). Any ideas? Apparently the Racemaster has the above, but is a very...

In the past week my Labrador's nose has become completely over active, and its starting to drive me mad. She is constantly sniffing at everything, everywhere in the yard, all around the house, sniff sniff manically, does anyone know why?

Thanks for all your advice, as you say its training the visitors that is the hardest, as she doesn't jump up at me or my hubby! Will have to get as strict with the human kind! It's a nightmare when people say, 'I don't mind', well actually I do! Keep any tips coming please. She has serious...

I live in Devon. Spoke to someone else the other day about cardboard as my horse was on it at the vets recently, she says she pays £8 a bale?

Help! My 11 month old choc lab has got so much love for everyone, that she struggles to contain it when she see's people. I just can't stop her jumping up at everyone. Great when you live on a farm, and people come visiting in clean clothes.....! Can anyone suggest anway to teach her to stop...

My young TB mare was prone to occassional rearing fits to say the least! My instructor suggested the following diet (the word oats scared me at first), taking out all the sugar, it has had the most amazing effect, she still has her spark, but her moods have completely levelled out and her feet...
