I know this thread is a month old now but I have just come across it. I have a new AE unit for myself and another for my horses. The horses are another story in itself - but in a nut shell, vet said would not jump again and last year hunted half a season and did our first BE - now done another...

Hi all - I am looking into buying a paddock cleaner - the brush type not the hoover type. I need something that I can tow behind a small quad bike. The quad has its own power supply at the back for attachments so I am looking for something that utilises this rather than one that has an on board...

Brill - thank you both! He has not put too much on thank goodness and is still really muscled up from last season - I really want to get it right and be correct - so really appreciate your comments - that gives me enough to get on with :-) I want hard legs! :-) :-) x

Hi! I bought a horse who had hunted hard with the Cheshires all last season. I have turned him away for the last few weeks giving him a bit of a holiday, but am trying to figure out when to bring him back into work for autumn hunting and get him hunting fit the good old fashioned way of 6-8...

I have had exactly the same problem with my darling boy - he is a 15.3hh ID strong chunky lad. I school him in a NS loose ring verbindend - hacks out in a waterford hanging cheek, as its a bit more strong if I needed it - and sometimes hacking out I do. But out hunting he just goes off on one -...

Thats all thats great - very much appreciated :-)

Hi there, I was just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of an excellent equine dentist who will cover the Staffordshire area please? We have the horses at home, just two of them so it would have to be someone that is happy to travel for two only. Thanks so much and sorry if...

Any good quality clothing and footwear = Pikeur, Ariat, Musto, Barbour - all the good stuff:-)

Auld is right about the trailer and horse boxes - Lorrys are so expensive over there its preventative - a friend of ours is a professional 'S' class (top level) show jumper and he only has a trailer - and many of them have tarpaulin roofs! you would shudder to see what they are transported in -...

Ooo look forward to the pictures - from our experience of living there with our hrses - competition horses and many others are just not allowed to have a personality so takes a while for that to come along - and they are often not used to turn out at all - so watch those windy days and wear a...

My gelding does this and has for years - the vet says he has a small pocket in his lunges that is over stretched and does not contract - so a small pocket of mucus stays there - when we go up from walk to trot and the start of our ride he always has to get his head down and clear himself. I have...

Hi there - you would be best giving him a bell - he is so approachable - plus it will give you a good feel for what he is like - your not looking cheap and cheerful but you are looking quality without the Oakley price tag! :-) I think prices would very much depend on what you need in a box and...

Hello all - I am looking at buying a CCTV system but dont know if anyone makes what I am after. I just require a couple of camera - not hard wired so would need to have batteries - and would need to be wireless - not after anything flash - just a couple of cameras to be able to just check on the...

ID - well said, so many people want a little box to drive but still want the luxury of a 7.5 - not possible unless you carry ponies. One last thing about KP - he is as honest as the day is long - seen too many builders who cant lie straight in bed! would you trust them with your money? I spoke...

SP - I am thinking about getting a lorry built to my spec and we went over to see Kevin Parker and have a good look at what was in build. We were really impressed! I am a fussy sod and wont put my horses into anything that I am not happy with (trailers, single wheel rear axle etc etc) the lorry...

Hi - I am thinking of getting a pair of the Maverick clippers with the rotating head with the battery pack - only found two reviews on them and the one said that they were tempremental and kept snagging every so often. I wondered if anyone else out there has had or has them at all please? I...

It does not sound like many are very good on grass or heavy going - hmmm, starting to think we need to stick with what we have after all! :-/ thanks guys....

Thank you all - this is really helping with my decision making. I dont really want to re-shoe him as, touch wood, we have not had a lame day since him going BF in front - but still want him to have a life... Thanks again :-)

Thanks! - will check them now :-) brill...

Hello there - I wonder if any of you may be able to help me. My lovely IDx boy was diagnosed with impar ligament navicular a couple of years ago now. We have gone through the stage of remedial shoeing and tried glue on shoes which he dispatched after a couple of weeks. We tried the Old Mac G2...

Staffordshire horsewatch gives a unique reference number to members that want them. This means no one can find your address through the post code - and the number is against your details on the police database - and its totally free!!!! They have a facebook page for anyone that is interested :-)...

Not a problem :-)

Oh and ps forget treeless unless you want to give your horse a bad back in around a years time - they do not spread the weight and you have stirrup bars that drive down straight into the horses back - not great, most horses need sorting out after a year of this - if you are jumping you need a...

Just a tip - always look at the country the saddles come from and you will see that the saddles are made for the types of horses from that country ie Stubben are made for warm blood types, Passier, French warm bloods etc etc - go for an English make as you have an ID. Lots of people dont realise...

Just a quick reply - to find the correct place for the saddle to sit, find the end of the scapula, place two fingers after this point - just after this is where the point of the tree should begin :-) To find the last rib (T18) place your hand on the flank area lower down - (forget for now about...

Cremdemonth - yes tis I - sorry for the long delay - been a while since on here! Hope your well :-)

Thats brill thanks - you deff get more for your money dont you! - saving hard and hope to move on this in a month or two so let me know how you get on! :-) tanks! x

Hi - sounds like you have been having a nightmare! I too am an SMS saddle fitter. Looking at the panels on this saddle from the front they are nice and flat, however they have gussetted fronts and you seem to have quite a good cut back head on the tree. These tend to come on saddles that are...

Becca - that looks really interesting. I had a dig about after I last typed and was a little wrong as I was looking at the wrong product, but can see that the Sunswitch price for 2 lights, £20 less with the other company and you get 2 lights, so thats a considerable difference. However would...

Oh brill thanks! Thanks too Becca!! I have just been checking out and comparing the web site details and the SunSwitch is a lower protection rating of IP54 (dust and water splash) and the Electric fence one you gave me is IP55 (dust and water jet) which would be useful to me as I intend this to...
