I had a feel of a Lemieux bridle in my local tack shop recently and was pleasantly surprised as I don’t normally think their products are good for quality, but it was nice and soft. I guess because of that it would stretch easily. My favourite are horsemanship saddlery. You can buy whatever...

Now they’ve been out for a few years, can I have opinion of PE synthetic saddles? Is the material soft and flexible? Does it wear well? Are they lightweight? What sort of back profile do they fit? Does that vary depending on which model you go for or are they all on the same tree?

I’m experienced with youngsters and with unhandled ones, but this one is a bit older and has been allowed to get into some very dangerous habits. Hence wanting to be involved as every little change in his life makes him protective of his legs again

I have a difficult young horse who has some issue with his legs and feet being handled and I’ve decided to send him away for a couple of weeks training as I’m on my own with no help and am fed up of him being a pain in the arse Place 1 - trainer I really like who has worked with horse before. I...

We are looking in South East - what area please?

So many good reports about lemieux from you all I bought a Lemieux kudos thermolayer 100 from redpost Leaked on the first use Lemieux themselves replaced it with another and that also leaked straight away

I’ve heard really mixed things about swish - some have said they are great, others that they’ve leaked from the start

I like it too as I find Horseware hood very skimpy and like to size up for the necks But this time I am infuriated as can’t find anything in stock in the sizes I need to match the rugs I want

You know what really annoys me about Horseware? Most of them have the neck cover sold separately, and can I find the matching neck cover to buy?! Of course I can’t!

I have two horses - one fits amigo rugs and is narrow and slim, the other fits Rambo as has a huge neck and the V front closure means he doesn’t get strangled when he grazes His old Rambo (about 20yrs old! Was my previous horses rug) finally started to leak - I think I got my monies worth! But...

I advise not having a 16yo boy in the house. He eats more than me and my husband put together and constantly stinks so costs a fortune in washing clothes/bedding and food I also advise not losing weight - I lost over 4 stone and am now constantly freezing Both tongue in cheek obviously - the...

A year ago, our cat went missing. We never found him and assumed him dead from a car accident or similar. Then Friday we had a call from a vet 10 miles away. They had our cat! My hopes were lifted that we would have him back again. Until I saw him. He needed to be PTS straight away. After...

Like continental reins. Martingale stoppers I would just cut off

They’re sewn in and if I unpicked the stitching I think that would at best leave big indents at intervals along the reins or at worse open up the stitching underneath and the rein would come apart

I have a pair of cathedral equine padded reins without the stoppers on them. Literally the perfect rein for me. I love how they mould to your hand. I can smoothly lengthen and shorten my reins with easy and they are very comfortable to hold. I absolutely detest rubber reins. They are hard and...
