    Towing vehicle yet again, I'm so sorry...

    For that budget you can get some very nice vehicles. It depends what you want but for every day driving as well as towing then a touareg or similar are nice enough. I have a Porsche cayenne which gives a nice bit of luxury too

    I'm sure your horses backs are fine and I really wasnt having a go at you. But, getting the very best out of the air it is best to be a little more precise. There are times when just a quarter or half pump of air can give that final bit of something that can make a big difference to some...

    Oh gotcha OK then yes, best to get the fitter back if you want to use the saddle. Is there going to be more than one rider using this saddle?

    Just for anyone reading this - Wow recommend that you use silicone as a 'stop' as well as the stopper itself, otherwise risk the bag deflating. Wow also recommend that you join rear air bags together and front bags together when inflating / deflating to ensure symmetry (unless doing and...

    Adjustable saddle or made to measure saddle for young horse?

    This pretty much. Good quality 2nd hand and use the knowledge that you may need to change it very regularly over a period of a few years or you may get away with flocking changes depending on the horse! Sell on, buy another good quality 2nd hand, rinse and repeat until the horse is at least 8...

    Expecting an exciting delivery...

    oh no, what a nightmare. Try not to worry too much, the swelling etc. is doing it's job and hopefully it's just a bang or something that wll right itself. It's been my experience that the injuries that are not visible are the worst / hardest to find and resolve but I'm sure that doesn't give...
