As the " nervous " previous owner of said orange horse, when I owned him he had ad lib soaked hay and two feeds a day of Mollichaff Calmer, which is a high fibre feed, I fed no short feed, I added garlic and Equine America Glucosamine, and Naf Liquid Pro Feet, and grated carrots. He was...

I am really pleased that you are both getting on, will be interesting to see some of the comments on here!! Like the pictures and videos, I told you it would be worth trying him!

Hi Matt, Made to measure saddle brilliant, should have done it a long time ago would have saved a fortune, girth and stirrup leathers still good as new. I purchased a "so-called" Heritage bridle years ago from ebay, wished I hadn't! Still you live and learn.

During three months last winter I had 37 rats drowned in my horse's water bucket, they only ever went in Jake's water the other two horses never had any in! My father in law stores ground barley and wheat in the barn behind the stables, no amount of poison has any effect, at the moment my sons...

Have PM'd you

Have tried ebay there are plenty of two and three slots but no fours, thanks for all your suggestions.

I think cobs are the " Baldrick " of the horse world they always seem to have a cunning plan to do something different each day to test you. Cobs are VERY bright that is why they appear to be thick, they are not stupid, there is no such thing as a 100 percent safe horse of any type, after all...

Hi, I have had the same problem, after trying several different saddles, I bit the bullet and sent a template and several photos to Matt Marlow ( had seen good comments on here) I now have a custom made working hunter saddle which fits him like a glove, is excellent quality, has a variety of...

I applied on the last day for two xc tickets, I was really surprised when I got them, I have now booked my seat on the coach to get there, sorted!

I bought some non stretch leathers from Matt Marlow they were mid price range, they have not stretched at all, my treadstone and shires leathers did.

I am 50 in a couple of months, I have now found my ideal horse, he is a rotund black cob from the ILPH, we have had him for 4 years for my teenage son to hack, but boys being boys, work and girls have intervened. I started hacking Jake last summer, the first time he had hacked out on his own, he...
