    Best bedding

    Wood pellets all the way. Have tried everything over the years and nothing beats the wood pellet. Have also tried all the leading brands, wouldn't touch Verdo with a barge pole, rubbish absorbency. White Horse Premium are by far and away the best. Lovely people to deal with and actually do...

    Professionals Choice Girth

    I think I did use the online retailer you are referring to .... :-(

    Professionals Choice Girth

    Yes the D ring to attach martingale, draw reins, etc etc. I had another look on line this morning and yes, the 'company' that for some reason decided to remove that piece of hardwear for 'safety reasons' is the online retailer I used. Why would someone want to remove it / sell the girths in...

    Professionals Choice Girth

    After seeing one of these lovely girths I have just treated one of our horses to a professionals choice VenTech SMX English girth. Well, it has arrived missing the D ring attachement. I'm confused, am I missing something here? Friend has recently purchased also and hers has the D ring ! Much...

    Horsebox Rescue - Horses on board being towed

    Apologies as I'm sure this had mentioned a 100 times before. Just renewed insurance to include breakdown and my blood has ran cold after reading the small print. My lorry (if mechanically safe), will be towed with the horses on board. If I refuse this option roadside I have to make my own...

    Detachable Tow Bars

    Do you keep the tow bar fixed on the car all the time, or take it off for any periods of time that you are not likely to need it?

    Detachable Tow Bars

    Thanks to all who have replied. I still can't get my head around the word 'detachable'. I am just worried sick that the trailer will somehow become detached. I have had a quote to have it removed and a permanent one fitted at a cost of £300 from a Whitter agent. I'm confused. Some of you hate...

    Detachable Tow Bars

    Your views on detachable tow bars please? Changing vehicle and the prospective new vehicle already has one fitted. I'm looking at a Mercedes ML. I'm not keen to say the least! Any feedback would be welcomed. Many thanks.

    Best clippers?

    I had a pair of Listers 20+ years ago that were brilliant. Purchased a new pair of Lister Stars 2 years ago and it was the biggest mistake ever. After 2 clips the blades became red hot within minutes and smoke came out the back. Sent off to Lister who in their defence gave the clippers a full...

    Having the Wool Pulled? - Muck Heap Disposal

    These are just the answers I wanted, brilliant. But yes, were are these muck heaps finally being disposed of? An answer (on here I think), mentioned ploughing it through the fields? Wood pellet bedding is brilliant & I'd never, through choice, use anything else.

    Numptynoelle, If you can find that link sometime I'd appreciate it, thank you :-). I pretty cr*p at this responding stuff, how do I just reply to an individual comment? oh lol !

    Having the Wool Pulled? - Muck Heap Disposal

    Thanks you both, for answering so far. I should have made myself clear. While I know (and the other person), realises it's common practice to pay for muck heap removal, I'm shocked to hear that nobody (allegedily!), wants to spread their fields with horse manure that contains wood pellets ! I've...

    Having the Wool Pulled? - Muck Heap Disposal

    Views please on muck heap disposal please. Someone I know is having to pay to have their muck heap taken away. It's not been removed for at least 2 years to my knowledge, so up until now has just been gradually increasing in size. Apparently no-one wants 'it', as it is mainly made up of wood...
