So I am having a car dilemma, I currently tow my 600kg mare in my ifor 511 with my Tiguan escape which has a towing capacity of 2500kg. However my car is getting old and is starting to fail me. My dad has made me the offer of having his Tiguan which is the r line blue tech tdi 2014 model but the...

Ok so i have only ever competed in dressage but recently i have been really enjoying jumping with my mare. We have only been jumping at home and i would say max a meter....so not ground breaking stuff but fun for us both....i am thinking about taking her out to a little unaffiliated show jumping...

Echo what was said above really! Make sure everything is ready so all you need to do is change a rug and pop her on the trailer! I would have all your tack and everything loaded into the car/trailer and also have your travel gear sitting out somewhere. the amount of time i have had to try and...

I'm sorry youre feeling frustrated....I am sure we all know what that is like! Are you giving him treats by hand? Maybe that is why he nips you and not your friend. if he knows you are a constant source of treats he will start t demand them!

It is a Kent and Masters. Not really only been up for sale for a few days so not like i am in a rush.

I am currently selling my jump saddle and have had a few people ask if they can try to saddle on their horse before they buy it. Do you think it is ok to let them take the saddle home to try it on their horse? I wouldnt mind if i knew them or we had friends in common but we dont. This person is...

I think it depends who is teaching the lesson! If it my instructor that i use all the time i try to wear clean clothes and have a nicely groomed horse with clean tack and pads etc. if i were to have a lesson from a visiting instructor i would probably make more of an effort and wear my good...

thanks everyone for your great advice! For those using the guardian fly masks may I ask where you got them from? I asked about one supplier who said they are £120, just wanted to make sure this is market price thanks I really appreciate your help1

My beautiful mare has been diagnosed with Uveitis in her right eye. She is currently having eye drops etc to try to treat the issue but after reading up on the dreaded internet I have discovered that this can be a recurring issue. At the moment she is out in the field during the day and having a...

Tie her with something more secure so she cannot turn around, as someone above said you can get chains with plastic moulding over them. If you don't want to do that and its a big problem for you why don't your change your trailer for a rear facing one? She obviously prefers this way of travel...

I have VW Tiguan escape! it is brilliant for towing and for everyday travel! I get about 38/40mpg when im driving around on a day to day basis, when im not trying to be economical! and I have never had a problem towing here in the Aberdeenshire with the big steep hills etc that we have. the...

Well my horse is only really a pet and so her work isn't that hard, she will be starting to get for competition soon though! I tend to give her a few weeks off every summer..as you say its nice for them to have a little holiday and I prefer summer time as she can live out during her holiday...

Does anyone have any experience with this? My mare has had a watery eye for a day or so, the discharge is just tears there is no colour in it, the eye is not swollen and it doesn't seem to be bothering her really! I have called the vet but I think it may just be a blocked tear duct, do any of...

Soooooo my gorgeous ginger mare (17.1) has recently been having some time off due to various issues (nothing physical), mostly mine, and has come back into work last week. Now when I say some time off I mean about three weeks so not a super long holiday, but I really forgot how much I hate...

No not paid in £££, my horse is taken in at 3pm for me. no rug changing or anything for her she is just put in her stable. It helps me by turning them out as well otherwise she would be in the field on her own for an hour or two and the field she is in has no visibility of other horses. It...
