Thank you, that’s really helpful Your pony is super cute !

@Gropony Did you do the course in the end ?

I really need to get some better hacking for my youngster. Was thinking of maybe going to somewhere like cholsey farm and staying the night, so I could get two decent hacks in . But I will be on my own and I am a complete numptie with map reading, I’ve done courses and managed to get lost ! I...

If it’s Scott running it , there’s jumping at same time . Warm up is small arena by the road, dressage in indoor. Can be tight on parking when he has both running so allow a little time in case . Highly recommend the cheese and onion toastie !

ChatGPT had a great plan 🤣🤣 Think horse just walks through living ?

Thanks , I saw that but didn’t like the design as too much of the horses weight on the rear axle and overhang bit. But in principle yes !

Really can’t tow ! To save my life Already have the sort of amount of living I need weight wise, was just thinking of spreading it out more to get more space to move around , sit inside with friends etc

My ramp is on drivers side anyway , never been an issue. My biggest weighs 400 kg so weight not too much of a worry but can drive up to 7.5 Just seems like there is a big wasted horse shape space that could be better used when I’m away at camps etc. weekends with the horse. @Abacus thats sort of...

Might be time to think about changing my lorry. I have the bog standard ( but lovely ) 3.5 t, two horse forward facing , small living at back. Was thinking that a one horse, slightly herringbone even, with the empty space used to increase the living would be a really nice idea. I only ever...

Completely agree re some dodgy matching going on in the doghouse, cause for shouting at the tv occasionally. Re bed sharing, two of our small dogs sleep on the bed , they are clean and the biggest is 5 kg so unlikely to cause a fatal injury. The Siamese is more of a worry , he likes to put his...

Just wondering how much the horse world will be affected by this We all know how thirsty horse transport is. I’m usually quite blasé about travelling long distances to compete, I feel it’s my hobby and can dedicate that amount of money to do so. But now I’m definitely thinking twice about...

I wanted something for dressage, around 14 h, brown ( easy to clean ) a gelding and established at least at novice and at least 8. Drove 6 hours to see exactly that, didn’t like it at all and bought a 14h 4 yr old, mainly white coloured cob mare on the way home . She is lovely though so ..

That is expensive ! I’m seriously thinking of putting in a diesel heater this year . I only want hook up for a bit of heating and a couple of stay away shows hook up would pay for a diesel heater .

And did it work ?

Am thinking of upgrading my protection ( from zero ! ) to one of the gilet style air jackets . What do you do in winter though , put loose coat over top, no coat ? Anyone ?
