    Turtle Top/Turtle Tactio - anyone have any experience of these?

    I have a tactio for my ID x works really well for him, previously in a Mullen mouth rubber loose ring. Unfortunately my horse is between sizes and I really need the next size up to be able to use it in his double bridle, so if anyone is after a medium with I have one for sale!

    Exciting times but confusing... limited access, turnout paddock?

    Put a tarp down and dump as close as you can. You can hire a mini digger and dumper truck for the day to move and level it, works out cheaper than paying the extra for dumpy bags ime

    ocd in stifle

    Mine was not a good experience in afraid, I had a very large yearling operated on 50% chance, gave him until he was 4 to come right as we were hopeful that once in work he could build enough muscle to support the joint, but it was not to be and he was put down that summer. His was caused by...

    Encouraging horse to stand nicely on trailer

    Erm maybe because you keep posting about him? For the record PS and I have had disagreements before, but I have never experienced and antagonism or name calling from her. Maybe you should report her if you have proof of bullying? I do think that you are coming across really badly on this...

    Budget for 3/4 yo dressage horse?

    You can get some decent lightly backed 4yo from £3-5k, but a horse that's been produced for young horse classes will be closer to £20k and rightly so, a lot of time and effort goes into producing a youngster specifically for these classes!

It was my second favourite test behind Carl and barney, the piaffe was something else, loved the...

    Where Have All Of The Banks Gone?

    Horses aren't nesting animals, they are perfectly happy lying down in the field so why do people insist in cocooning them in piles of dusty straw?! Eva mats and enough wood pellets to soak up any wee here.
