Thank you for all your replies - I was feeling so miserable and disappointed - I will be in touch with trading standards with a copy of their website page where they say they come out to reflock for free! Thank you again to all of you who have replied!

He's not, I checked that last night to see if there is someone I could complain to. It is just a father and son company .. I have learnt my lesson the hard way! x

I should have said that my usual saddler did come out to reflock two albions I bought from him early June so I asked him to take a look at these Minster saddles, but he told me they were too far out to adjust. He advised that Minster might be able to swap them for something that fits better. So...

Hello Does anyone have a good haylage supplier near Ashford, Kent or Hythe, Kent. I have been let down and now an desperately hoping to find a new supplier for the Winter months. Many thanks!

Ok, so this is really good information and it is all starting to formulate a proper plan in my head. Thank you so much! The problem is it is just too much land to manage and I do not have the machinery at the moment to harrow and spread the pooh so I am pooh picking by hand :-( The farmer...

HELP! I know this possibly comes as standard to most horsey owners who have had years of pasture management but I would really appreciate some pointers on how to do it properly! I purchased a property with 14 acres in March. This is split into two 7 acre fields roughly one Summer one...
