I used to compete a lot on my own, I'd just always make sure that the emergency contact in my phone was somebody who could get the horses home. You'll find that should something happen folk will generally help out and sort the animals out.

Link? I know Equine Americas Like Ice contains something (sorbo... something) which helps cool and soothe the legs, whenever I put it on it certainly feels cold on my hand

I would still apply clay and wrap in brown paper :)

Thanks dolly, we'd pretty much come up with the same answers (but in a much less technical way :p ) Sillysausage - ahhhh, another Polocrosse bod on the board!

It's gone down on a Polocrosse pitch and we're really curious of the benefits compared to watering as neither of us have heard of it

Debsandpets - Ha!! I tried your Romeo! She spam me the same Richard Hammond story :p Landcruiser - was the dark liver chestnut mare called something like esperella? Think I looked at her, saw the forelimb conformation and a big crack in one hoof and walked off!

The only horses name I remember was a bay called Romeo, also tried a little 14hh dun who had supposedly done everything (and had apparantly been on top gear) and a larger dun who's name when translated into English means BBQ grill or something. There were many I passed by due to their...

Debsandpets - think I tried a few of hers out a few years ago (does she have a husband called Byron?), they all looked a tad in the rough side :(

I went straight in and did my HGV (I'm 24), had 6 4 hour lessons then the test the day after. The only difference between the 7.5t and the HGV is the HGV is a touch bigger (but the one I used was only a touch bigger than my 7.5t Horsebox!) and you have to use a split gearbox which really is dead...
