Thanks for your replies. She was bred by the Renkum stud by one of their SJ stallions and is out of a National Hunt mare that was by Presenting. Strengths: good neck set and length of rein, nice proportions throughout, uphill, good hind leg, moves well, light on her feet, good technique over a...

For 15.3hh blood type mare (50% TB). Pretty correct conformation, deep barrelled but lacks bone and has slightly long pasterns. Would pass as a (very sporty) hack in type and movement. She's the type that I think you could put a wide range of stallions with as she's a good basic model of a...

Sorry to hear that the outcome was not more positive, but fwiw I think you're making the best decision for both you and him.

I’ve known of multiple horses have PSD surgery with excellent results, either returning to the same level or higher. However, they were all good candidates for the procedure in terms of conformation etc. Based on the history and information of your own horse, I’m afraid I think that you’d likely...

Royal Rider Sport/Jump flex!

Thanks, i didn't realise it was going to be on clipmyhorse. Will sort out watching that. I don't like naming and shaming either, but it's good to hear positive reviews where due. Thanks

I'd be really interested to hear a review from this event as I had hoped to go to look at the Event and SJ stallions but got waylaid. If you have time to comment on any in particular, even by PM, i'd be interested.

I struggle with this too. It seems that people don't hear lameness and automatically think 'pain', which is what it ultimately is. I think it would be more beneficial if vets used the term 'in pain' more regularly, to try and underline that the animal isn't choosing to move awkwardly, it is...

Is anyone else finding that Clipmyhorse is very stop/start? Not quite as bad as BBC but keeps crashing. My internet speed is fast so wondering if the issue is their end?

Trust Innosense wear well in my experience, similar to a Nathe, whereas the Winderen ones seem to get destroyed pretty easily (despite their claims).

You can get square, flat nets that attach to the wall via 4 x clips onto tie rings, so no string. Worth a look.

I totally understand where you are coming from. I also work in the industry and have recently made a conscious decision to give up following years of continuous heartbreak and financial loss; it's been a long time since owning a horse has been truly fun and I can't afford to continue to spend...

Thanks, I find it all a bit complicated to be honest. I already have a vehicle (Mitsubishi ASX with 4WD) which I *think* will work for towing with a B license, provided weights are kept low. The GVW is 1,980kg with max braked towing capacity of 1,400kg. Kerbweight 1,445kg. If i'm totally off...

I had been hoping to pick up a Bateson Derby second hand, however they seem to be an incredibly rare beast! Can anybody recommend an alternative lightweight horse trailer? I don't have my B+E license so need to keep weight to a minimum (travelling 1 x 500kg horse with a suitable vehicle)...

Thanks! I've just double checked and the GVW is actually 1980, not 2060. Does that change the outcome? Sorry!
