Thank you all, that sounds positive! I'll definitely get an inspection done, I know it's had a new floor etc recently that waterproof wood etc so that's all fine, but need someone to look over it properly. I'll have a look for the anti jumps now too thanks. The more I look at it the more solid...

I've been on the look out for a 3.5T for a good while to carry just myself, 16.3 cob & tack locally for lessons & shows etc - so no real huge payload needed. I've come across a lovely Marlborough Hunter for sale just not far away & have yet to view, but have fallen in love. The guy who owns is...

I've been looking at re-vamping my transport situation for a while, I sold my trailer as my horse is now too big for it (HB506) but still have a car to tow with, although I wouldn't tow more than one with it so I was going to get something bigger. The plan was to get as new as I can afford car...

Hi! Does anyone know of any nice RELIABLE part or full livery stables with good turnout in this area? As close to Usk/Raglan/Abergavenny/Cwmbran as possible? I'm not from the area but doing some research for a friend who is local & looking - so I thought I'd try here for recommendations. Thanks

He's easily contacted on Facebook if you're on there?

Thank you, yes that definitely worth keeping in mind! From what I've seen Bates & Fairfax are around my budget & seem to resell well so hoping one of them may suit her.

Thank you! I'll see if I can find someone who carries stock to come out when she gets back & see what fits nicely.

Digging up my old post with a bit of an update as we had the fitter out a few weeks ago . . . . My old Wintec GP with a gullet change has ended up fitting her pretty nicely to go away, with the view to buying something a little less battered & scratched up in a few months when shes home & a...

My youngster is off for backing very soon & I want to get her something good quality that fits obviously, but also adjustable to it can checked & changed regulary as she changes shape. The obvious is Wintecs & Thorowgoods with the changeable gullet but I never find them very supportive or...

Definitely the right call to rug her, she was stood bum to the wind and rain tail clamped looking sad when I arrived, she has no choice but to be in full force of it. Came charging across when she saw us arrive. So quick scrape, 100g on & she's happy back out grazing. My zero fill would have...

Thank you all! So tough isn't it. If she had shelter I'd leave it but without, I don't want her being battered all night long. I've got a no fill but it'll just go straight through so it'll have to be the trusty old 100g which I suspect is much less now due to the amount of washes anyway. I...

My girl lives out & is native but late teens, there's seriously strong wind & downpours at the moment and set to continue next 24hrs or so. I usually wouldn't contemplate rugging when it's so mild but the fact she has zero shelter available on an exposed slope and a constant battering hours on...

Ooh thats interesting - I'd always heard garlic was good & is cinnamon not as recommended as before? See this is why I ask as I dont want to get the wrong stuff :( The lite & lean would be ok then? I won't get the chaff in cat case. She eats fast fibre - would that be a suitable carrier for the...

I've spent hours & hours poring over various feeds to try & give my welsh cob a nice balanced diet & would appreciate any advice. We had a scare last week, when she turned towards me she had a hobble & with it being this time of year I had a melt down thinking she was footy/laminitis despite...

I've had my current riding horse from a foal & due to a pollen allergy shes out of work April to October (and yes I've tried everything!) with exercise intolerance. Over the last 6 years I've tried & failed 3 times to buy another to keep & bridge that gap. Horse 1 had ulcers & chronic lameness...
