    Podenco - anyone with experiences?

    I have a Podenco cross. Unfortunately she does not have those amazing huge ears. She is lovely and I would definitely get another. Very affectionate with people including toddlers and very snoozy in the house. I knew lots of Podencos and crosses in Spain. They all seem to be very affectionate...

    What facilities do you want from a DIY livery yard (London area)

    Most important for me is year round group turn out with no restrictions within reason on what time to turn out/ bring in as many people have long commutes and get to the yard before and after work. For the same reason a lit school is also needed to allow riding in winter. Stable herds and large...

    Equilibrium massage charger

    They sell the new chargers and batteries on their website. I am also using a new charger and battery with an old pad and have not had any issues. Their customer service is excellent, both time I rang them with questions, they sorted things out for me very quickly.

    What to use to make grazing muzzle hole larger

    I used a drill to make a circle of holes around the thick rubber bit and then a Stanley knife to cut the bits between the holes. It's surprisingly difficult.

    Not just for the license ��. He could stand to lose a few kgs. Thanks for your advice on the towing! Fingers crossed I will pass the B+E with fewer attempts than my car license.

    Towing instructors and test B+ E near Watford

    Thanks for responding ROG, I'll give them a call and find out if I must have my own trailer or they have one to use. ( I haven't bought the trailer yet) . My car's GVW is 2290. I'll be towing one horse but will probably buy a double trailer so it will be heavy as HB 506 is 920 kg unladen.
