Reasonably brutal at times. A friend had a horse arrive looking pretty dreadful inc a hole in its dock where it had rubbed it so badly it was an open sore. Weather had been awful, transporter driver wasn't happy they had made them cross. You just have to take everything slowly and one step at...

Some of the old Sorrentos have a capacity upto 2800Kg. If your on a B+E you would fine with an Ifor and two horses but you need to get the right model. You need to be able to tow 2200kg by the sounds of it and its always good to have some spare too so look for something that will tow 2400kg...

Full clip on my RID last Thursday, just has a 100g rug on as still rather mild even in Yorkshire countryside. But he was like a mammoth and is still warm even clipped when worked hard.

Red Horse products - Honey Heal. Lovely thick consistency which stays put for days and really soothes. Pots lasts forever and its all natural ingredients.

Definitely look at treatment options, with vet approval. I use a McTimoney lady for my terrier who does a lot of flyball and is generally nutty and very active. She treats him and does massage too, definitely keeps any niggles at bay. Someone like that could help. Try a back on track mesh coat...

Clodagh, I totally agree with you re: Dogs Trust, would never donate or give them money normally and still don't if they are collecting etc but I couldn't find 3rd party liability for a dog anywhere but with them that offers such cover. I am a hypocrite but it would be irresponsible of me not to...

] I have this, I don't insure my terrier but when checking small print on Home Insurance it doesn't cover you for much in relation to pets and in very limited circumstances. I have had a few people tell me they thought they were covered by home insurance, seems to be a common...

Thanks, cant deal with Judie Thurloe on advice from trusted people. The 18h is a lovely type but wont fit in my trailer! Gloucestershire is definitely too far. The problem I find on H&H is the adverts are quite old and don't get taken down by the sellers when sold.

Thank you Hollymarsh

Thanks Cassy. Yes too small. There are some gorgeous ones about 15.2/15.3 but they are just not big enough. I am 5'10 and although weight isn't an issue I don't feel in balance with something smaller. Hi lammy, yes have seen that one. Perfect on paper. Cant say any more though.

Wanted 16.1/16.2 ish Maxi Cob type, ID or cross but must be good chunky type. For BD dressage (prelim/novice and see where we get) and hacking especially alone. Maybe bob small Xpole jump. 7-12 years old. Preferably gelding. No BD record required but must have done some competing unaffiliated...

Thanks ROG. I thought it looked ok but wanted to check. Sorry for being stupid but could you explain how the 50-70 being transferred through the hitch works? Main thing is i am within legal limits and car will be heavier than trailer for my peace of mind as i like you don't like the thought...

ROG please help I have B+E licence Car ssanyong korando 4x4 2015 Towing capacity 2000kg Gross vehicle weight 2260 Kerb weight is I think 1747kg Towing Ifor 510 1000kg Horse 750kg 16.3 maxi cob Tack, water, two passengers in car. Only a small haynet in trailer. Is this all legal, any areas...

Post on the BFA members page on facebook, people will have recommendations. Don't insure mine though. Must admit thought petplan did cover it as you are not racing for money.

Having had a really bad fall in august I have totally lost my confidence. I went to try a new horse to buy yesterday and just seized up, shaking. Felt dreadful for seller as horse was so lovely. I have been riding at a local riding school since fall and been fine but that is familiar territory...
