I've had them for years,have always bought the Tack style. Last pair just broke after 4 yrs so decided I'd try different design due to slipping in mud. Bought a pair of Greta and really not getting on with them at all. I think I have a faulty pair anyway as the tread isn't properly attached to...

I have 3 on 1.8 acres, they are ponies though. the field is split and they are kept on the 1 acre all winter with haynets in their shelter. I do give hay most of the year round and it does get poached around the gate and shelter and these areas don't really recover but the rest of the field...

How do the Grasmeres compare to the fit of Windermeres ? I find the windermeres quite wide as I have narrow feet .

I pay about £40 a month for two , can't remember if mine is £4k of £5k vets fees . I also insure mine for minimum value and just vets fees

I know someone who was advertising theirs for hire Nr Usk if that's not too far ?

I've used a 16", it has the square cantle. I'm 5' 4" , 29 inside leg size 10. I find it fine . My mare is quite short backed so suits her well, although I prefer a suede seat so it is up for sale if anyone looking for a cob xxx wide :)

I bought one for my Sec D and it almost strangles her :( Agree with previous poster about how long the belly part is and was also concerned they might get a leg stuck in it.... Off to buy a new fly rug:rolleyes:

Mine are too heavy to roll up :confused: I flip mine over an old broom handle and carry from each end - obviously need two people tho... otherwise i just struggle and try and drag them after folding over .. I def need longer arms :mad:

Lluest Horse and Pony Trust had one they were desperately trying to find a loan home for the other day. They are based West Wales. 14 hh safe ride

I had an Arab mare who always spooked hacking on her own, in company she was completely chilled. She'd spook at the same thing for ever and never changed. I owned her for over 20 yrs ... hope yours gets better as it could be a bit tiring :rolleyes:

Just heard the news, very sad R.I.P :(

Apt name for its Dam filly out of Who Gives a Toss :( Says it all :mad:

I've been paying over £15 since I started using it about 7 months ago . My youngster looks fab on it and I have no plans to change :) Out of curiosity at what age do most stop feeding it ?

Been using their feeds for about 18 months and love them, so do my ponies ... mine have been on fibre balance this winter, with a bit of fast fibre...their coats are glossy and they've kept their weight a little too well :)

Maybe the owner has changed her mind about selling her and you are worrying over nothing? If she's in a good loan home and everyone is happy then that's what most owners want.
