I have Pippa's fall on video - didn't get the one stride in between the fences at the 2nd water jump, awkward clamber over B element and dislodged her out the side door

I have a Staffordshire horsebox. Fab little lorry and most definitely made by themselves in their own factory.

Does anyone have any details on what is all involved for the BRC Quadrille and roughly how much it costs for costumes etc.

Here's a pic of my most infamous oooooops moment!

That would be great or she can email me pictures and if she can provide actual measurements to tiger.feet@btinternet.com Thankies!

Does anyone have a second hand tailcoat that they aren't needing and wanting to sell? Looking for a navy one and probably a size 14 / 38" chest? PM me if you have anything. :)

Love my MAN 816 - it's a T-reg and lovely to drive, gear box is slick and very easy to drive. It hadn't been used since early November because of the weather and it started first time with the turn of the key this weekend . :o) Have had a Merc and Daf too and much prefer the MAN.

All that Malarkey

There's absolutely no leeway when it comes to BRC with regards to vaccinations. If you are even one day over then the vaccinations aren't valid. The vaccinations are checked back to the beginning - have been through this with our RC teams and it is a nightmare. BD have also brought in a...

Yes - I use one. Changed to it earlier this year and it's made a huge difference to TF taking the contact.

Definately get a weighbridge certificate - don't take someone's word of the weight of the vehicle. I know someone who bought a lorry that is stalled for 3 horses but had an unladen weight of 6.5t - so if you take a large horse could weigh around the 600kg mark there's no way that it could carry...

I've had a Merc, Daf and Man and much prefer the MAN - it's like driving a big car. With the Merc you knew you were driving a truck and gears were a bit tricky. I only bought the MAN this year and was pleasantly surprised when the garage told me the cost of getting it through it's plaiting...

If you buy a 7.5t then it doesn't matter if you have an HGV license - you still have to be under 7.5t with all horses, tack, dogs and people. If you buy an HGV over 7.5t then you still have to be within weight - it all depends on what the HGV's gross vehicle weight is. I've used...

Just make sure that you have sufficient unladen weight available to carry two horses and all their tack and equipment. VOSA are cracking down on over-weight lorries and as it's a long term investment you need to get this right at the start. There are lots of horseboxes out there but you'll...

I feed Alfa and Top Spec to TF and he's competing at Adv Medium and he looks fab and really has built up good muscle tone.
