Just since you are looking at them: it’s spelt Friesian (not fresian or freisian). Handy to know! ETA I’ve wondered before why the selling sites don’t have a search function/filter option for colour ; )

I also have the Moorland rider wash bag, medium size I think, and shake hair out of that at the end. Also good for dog blankets. You can buy it from various places - think I got mine from viovet.

Most of our local farmers dislike the hunt. They also say you used to see mainly locals and farmers out with the hunt, but then it became businessmen from outside, paying lots of money. Field might have been 100-120 in the past: now it’s usually under 20. Focus seems to be more on pheasant &...

Of course, but in practice most landowners and farmers do not like pedestrians or horse riders crossing their land. If no track is left across a crop field (or a verge around it as alternative route), or the path is overgrown, or blocked, or a gate so broken it is impossible to open, it comes...

Some of the bridleways around me are open and accessible mainly because the landowner is a fan of hunting and supports the local hunt. So e.g. some gates are left open during winter until livestock go back in the fields, say. There are fewer gates, and you will not find electric fencing across...

I’m not an expert on Sheffield but OH hails from there, and I do know Grenoside is a very ‘nice’ location, fairly horsey too. Also Oughtibridge, nearby, is supposed to be ok. Here’s one which you’d have to make a low offer on as it’s on for £550, but it’s pretty, borders on fields and look...

Welcome back! I remember you. Sounds as though things have been busy, and (on the whole) going very well. Really lovely photos, too :)

Much sympathy, OP. That must be awful. It’s easy for others to say what you should have done afterwards, but how dó you make sure you pick a dealer who isn’t going to do anything dodgy: even if not effectively stealing it as happened here, they could easily sell the lorry for much more than...

Likewise! Also the responses which followed, on both ‘sides’, were very interesting. Except Ihatework’s - definitely straight over my head.

Welcome! Hope you find the forum helpful : )

Going a lot faster than 50 mph, possibly?

We have a Volvo xc60, petrol, and it tows an Ifor 505 (975 kg) plus one 500kg horse very nicely, also up (and down) some quite steep hills. I would definitely not put two horses in it, though.

I have this one: https://thefacemaskstore.co.uk/product/3m-7501-half-mask-reusable-respirator-small/ It is compatible with a range of filters - there is a link in the details - and these are the ones I use: https://thefacemaskstore.co.uk/product/3m-2135-p3-r-particulate-filters-pack-of-two/...

Hello and welcome! Look forward to hearing more from you : )

That’s what I moved on to when mine decided he no longer liked Fast fibre.
