Can anyone recommend a GPS tracker which can be used for an Ifor Williams horse trailer. Hopefully one that doesnt cost the earth but is affordable to buy and if necessary (preferably not) to subscribe to. I need one with movement warning (that notifies me if the trailer is moved) and...

Im trying to get an idea of how many people have had problems with Wintec Cair Saddles. Please can anyone who has had issues with the Cair saddles, please list what you have had in detail. For example: Cair panels 'breaking' or failing. Cair panels making a noise. The saddle being...

Does anyone know who Wintec uses to have an 'Independent Saddle Inspection' when they have saddles returned to them? For some unknown reason, they are refusing to give this information out to me on my saddle? They had an agreement with me that they were sending it to be to be assessed but now...

Im having a mare to find a decent saddle to fit my horse, so looking at the made to measure market so i can get it tweaked to what we need without a ridiculous budget busting price. My biggest concerns are: It not fitting when it arrives, Not being suitable when it is being ridden in...

Has anyone got one or used one? Good and bad reviews please

What do you prefer if doing courses up to 1m for jumping, and for XC / HT etc? Looking to get a new one for my lad but unsure if a jumping saddle will be secure enough for XC or an event saddle will be forward cut enough for SJ? On a budget (under £1k new/used) so need to get it right first...

Does anyone compete SJ / BE on pure bred Arabs? What level are you competing at? Especially if adults riding 14.1-2hh height ones. How do you feel against adults on horses? or children on ponies? Also what saddles do you use, event or jump?

My lad will be on box rest for a 1-2 months box rest and as he usually lives out so his legs will fill (did on 2 day riding club camp). Looking at PE Stable wraps (not magnetic) / rhinegold stable (medicine) wraps OR using quilted wraps/pads with bandages on top? Which offers the best...

Just wondering if there are any official regulations what the minimum horse age is to attend lessons? Generally i know its 4 to compete so it is the same just for lessons with an affiliated (not for my horse i may add as i think 3 is too young)

My riding length of normal leathers is 18-20" for jumping, 24-26" for flatwork so i need to buy webbers which would work out these sizes. No local shops sell them so how do i know which length to order? None of the descriptions tell you the shortest or longest lengths these can adjust to and...

Hunt is on for a mainly black show jacket (or white/grey/silver trim) to use for dressage and jumping. Max budget is about £70 and ideally new, but also hunting second hand. Ive longish arms (not daddy long legs length tho lol) and tried the Caldene Waterton but sleeves were incredibly short...

There is one being held local to me - but what are they? Sadly entered a different comp in another area so cant get there on the day to go look around.

Any feedback - good or bad welcome please as looking to buy one for my Arab. Its very cheaply priced for a brand new saddle due to shop closure but as ive never seen one i have no idea how good quality they are.

My Tb is having an upgrade from his synthetic Thorowgood T4 which has done him for a year of basic schooling, but now we are both moving up a gear we need a saddle to come with us. He needs 17 MW with a half decent wither clearance. He doesnt have a real sharks fin but he does suffer...

Im looking for a second hand dressage saddle to upgrade from my tried and trusted basic Thorowgood which has got us through the basics this last year, so here is the dilemma for my slightly high-withered young TB. Both are for sale which I like, both very similar priced, so very little to...

Im looking for wider tread stirrups which i can use for XC Does anyone have any experience or recommendations (not the bank breaking brands though!)

I have been to Badminton for the find ride in 2013 which on the whole was great fun with the distance, trerrain, jumps etc. The only thing which sadly spoiled it was the road rage riders with no care for the fact we had a novice horse with very visible ribbons in his tail, thankfully a very...

Looking to buy a wheel clamp for the ifor trailer ive got (2002) What ones are easy to fit and actually do fit? I bought one which was mega awkward to get on the back wheel due to the other wheel and wheel guard being so close. (also got a hitchlock but want double security)

Has to be junior fittings as most adults are too deep and end up on my eyes, but struggling to find a skull for a fairly narrow, oval head. Daily riding is a brilliant Just Togs dial hat but with the regulations of no peaks in XC, I cant wear it :( Any ideas what makes / brands to try please?
