    How long for new sand school to settle??

    Currently in the middle of a downpour - i didn't think i'd be praying for more rain after the summer we've had! lol Is it not worth rolling it until its been soaked through then? Was really disappointed yesterday when i rode on it, even though i expected it to be deep i wasn't expecting it...

    How long for new sand school to settle??

    fibre additives for sand arena

    We've just had a sand arena installed and the plan was always to add a fibre stabiliser within the next couple of months otherwise it would ride too deep with just sand. Can anyone recommend any to me? Was looking at the Martin Collins Clopf but very pricey! Leisure Ride Surfaces seem to be...

    Horse failed vetting - footsore. Opinions

    The owners have said they're happy for a set of shoes to be put on and re-vetted. I think the horse has been barefoot as not much road work done rather than being a case of in the proper barefoot club. TBH if they weren't happy for that then i'd have walked away as at the end of the day there's...

    Horse failed vetting - footsore. Opinions

    I had a horse vetted today, the horse is barefoot and has been for over 2 years (horse is 6, has had shoes on before). The vet failed him as he was footsore over the shale and also on 10 mtr circles in trot in the school. She said that the horse should have had fronts put on a long time ago and...
