    Downsizing - HGV to 4.5t 2 Horse

    Thanks everyone, some really good feedback. Red 1 I met your husband! I went to the factory on Wednesday, he started on the Monday. It is a long waiting list for the one I want and I need to test the market with my big truck. If it sells I can always hire something or buy a lightweight...

    Downsizing - HGV to 4.5t 2 Horse

    We sound like we are in similar situation! Part of me says I will miss the space and ease of working out of the big truck (no tack lockers makes it a doddle!). I have used the living and done some stay away shows along with trips abroad. The reality is I now do day shows where I never use the...

    Downsizing - HGV to 4.5t 2 Horse

    Anyone swopped from big lorry to something smaller such as 3.5/4.5t or car/trailer? If so how did you find it and any regrets etc. At that point where no longer wishing to do away shows and only have two horses, rarely take both at once. I am fortunate enough to have all the categories on my...

    Welcome to HHO Towing Clinic

    EASILY LEGAL PS - as you car is going to actually weigh 1500+ when towing then its always going to be heavier than the trailer and although that is not a legal requirement it can be a safety one If normal car then be careful what surfaces you tow on - wet grass with a non 4x4 can get...

    Uvex hat recall - Anyone got their hats back?

    Their website still says that they are replacing or retrofitting. From their web page there were two models affected, uvision (exxential) and the supersonic. My uvisions were 3 years old and without question they replaced them. I did ask if they would be retrospecitvely fitted/corrected and...

    Uvex hat recall - Anyone got their hats back?

    It was only one model of hat that has been withdrawn, most definitely does not affect the whole of the Uvex equestrian range. Uvex are a massive company in the safety market in all types of sport and industry with a very good name. I am pretty sure they would not want to damage that...

    Uvex hat recall - Anyone got their hats back?

    No idea but the model previously called uvision has been withdrawn from the market and anyone with one has been offered a replacement hat which is a more expensive one and kitemarked for the UK market.

    Bedmax shavings.

    They are huge flakes, I hated them. Didn't go very far and soon looked dirty despite proper full muck out and regular skipping out. Not to my liking at all!

    Amateur Height Changes

    yes, the lower levels are now the same heights as Trailblazers, not sure how many trailblazers competitors will make the switch though as will rack up more expenses becoming members and registering horses. For me I am most unhappy. I am not a brave rider and have no wish to scare myself, I am...

    plain/non-piped ear bonnets

    Buy a cheap hkm one, take the piping off it then decorate as you choose. At £6ish they are cheap enough to play around with.
