Price increase;

Steadily rising steel prices have forced a price review. Prices were increased in February 2013, the first increase for 6 years. Combi Forwarder increased again in February 2014 due to increased costs.

New orders and are now powder coated, not painted, at no extra cost. This is the finish put on motorbike frames. It is smooth, thick, durable and scratch resistant.

My new 2 horse forwarder with one tonne+ capacity crane for loading won Third Prize and a Bronze Medal in the Charlie Pinney Memorial Award for Innovation in Horse Work Equipment at the British Festival of the Working Horse in July 2012

Once again I had the use of the fantastic 'Herke' owned and kindly loaned to me by Mathias Bruning. Picture above is of me proudly wearing my medal!

My Bracken Basher was awarded a Bronze Medal at Pferde Stark in August 2007. The award was in the Innovatory Horse Drawn Equipment Category

I had the most marvellous time demonstrating my arch, forwarder, bracken basher, harness adaptor kits and much more at "La Route Des Vins Et Du Comte" at Levier in the Jura, France over the August bank holiday weekend; 25, 26 and 27 August 2006. What a superb event - hundreds of horses, oxen and mules working and a true celebration of the role for the working horse in this century.
