I honestly can't find any cheaper, there are the webbing ones on ebay but at £62 are they reliable and comfy for the horse? How would you rate cheaper wed harnesses Leo, honestly interested

How satisfying! What was going on?
I have seen horses loaned to acquaintances and wished I knew the owners to give them more info on the homes! All pre FB days.

I've been riding ten years and only just got a horse in December! I have only ever known one riding school horse who was not a novice ride, a lusitano, gelded late who thought he was still a stallion.

I've got one. I used it for long reining. Not sure I'd want to use one to drive in though! I got lucky and found a really old, original vanner harness on ebay for a couple of hundred quid. I've got another patent one I got off Preloved for £50 as its not got any traces. Cheap because it wasnt advertised properly, but I was close enough to go and look. Both if which I'm supposed to be selling as Im not supposed to be tack hoarding anymore :lol:
Saying all that, I havent really got a clue about driving and am starting lessons with my boy in a fortnight. But I do know enough about leather to know what I'm looking at and like I said the bargains are out there if you look for them

Todays would be wanting someone to let them have transport cheaply as the professional transport companies are so expensive. Someone explained about professional carrier's insurance only to have a third poster roll their eyes that the question wasn't being answered and how annoying that was. Then the usual requests for used saddles - tried 100 saddles and they all run forwards or slip or perch, but they've got £100 to spend on this really tricky horse or pony. Horses are expensive. I could type that in response to so many posts.

For Sale ad - welsh mountain pony. Arthritic changes in the spine, can only be ridden by very experienced adults because of it's behaviour but would make a great broodmare (with arthritic spine?). £1400!!!
The words 'cloud', 'cuckoo' and 'land' come to mind.

Ha! My old riding school only had a couple of horse suitable for beginners, the others were rather quirky to say the least! A couple were probably down right dangerous if you weren't really experienced.

Having just had a horse pts due to arthiritis in the spine that makes me very sad for the poor pony.

Thanks for the info
I've got plenty of time, a friend has got me thinking that driving might be brilliant for me to try when my yearling is old enough-if he's willing to pull :lol: but hovering over ebay and preloved there are no real bargains floating around atm.

You have to get good at trawling the ads. I got my new harness a couple of weeks ago from ebay. Badly advertised and rubbish pics but I could see it was good quality from the way its made so I took a punt and it paid off. I think it helps that I'm not very well a lot of the time so spend a lot of time on the internet so have all the time in the world for sifting through

I'll have to have a good sift at night before bed and hopefully something will pop up! Thanks Leo Elf On A Shelf

Someone has just asked what sales people buy their exracers from as they are looking specifically for the severely neglected ones ... The mind boggles!

"Hi everyone, I want to hire a 3.5T box but keep getting quoted extortionate prices.
I only want to hire something for a couple of hours just to get my 14.3 Welsh D out and about (he's a good loader and traveler).
Does anyone know of any cheaper companies?!
Thank you"
Well if you are being quoted similar prices would you not assume that is the going rate...

My local site has had a couple of gems recently.
First there was the two year old cob who was really good on the horse walker and with a saddle and bridle on - ad accompanied by pic of very large teen sitting on him.
Followed a couple of days later by an ad from someone else looking for a sharer 3 days a week (contribution required). You can't actually RIDE the beast but you can do all the jobs and groom it. I was so tempted to reply saying I think what you are actually looking for is full livery....

An advert with a picture of 4 different horses and their heights - ring for details - no location, gender, age. *forehead slap
Wouldn't respond to posts asking for the details with anything other than 'ring for details'. *sigh

Dealer trick. Anything to get you on the phone/premises so they can sell you what they have. That's why the range of heights and no ages, 'something for everyone'. The horses in the pictures were probably sold last year!

Bramble is 11.1hh and still bum high. He is a welsh X shetland, bramble is 3 and a half years old coming up 4 in may. He lives in and out as he's going out in the field soon and comes in for the winter. I have brought him up since he was born. He is unbroken and i am wanting an experience adult to come and help me to break him in. I havent had the time to bring him on as i dont want to waste him and needs all the attention he can get. Bramble is a sweet, lovely natured pony when you get to know him and when he gets to know you. He catches perfectly, picks up all 4 feet for farrier, he is halter broken and has had a bit in his mouth before and took it nicely but wasnt for long. He is good to walk when you have full control over him as he is strong and will trick people. He is strong while walking on roads and will get excited but will calm down eventually. But he hasnt got a bad bone in his body, he is good with dogs etc but does spook now and then. He does bronk etc when he knows when to come in and while in the paddock but wont purposely kick you. Bramble is full of energy and he should calm down and be more relaxed when he starts to get exercised. He will make a good pony when he gets sorted.
**Haven't got the time as I'm starting a new job soon and college at same time as I don't want to sell him**
