Not stick-on ones, but I use Sassy Saints dip powder. I can get three weeks wear out of them and get them off with no damage, though they do take time. Took one lot off yesterday, and I’ll be redoing them this afternoon. More cost effective than gels too. They also do gels that don’t need curing...

Definitely worth a try. I got my boy through Pets4Homes, though I bought from him from a breeder as there weren’t any rescues that jumped out at me at the time, and I knew he was the right cat for me. She’d apparently had over 30 enquiries about him, so perhaps the ones you’d asked about had a...

As an alternative, one of my sisters has rehomed several cats directly from posts on Facebook from owners saying they are looking to rehome for whatever reason. I know when I was looking there were several similar ads on the likes of Preloved and Pets4Homes too. These are sometimes free to a...

I don't have one myself, but I like them in teal, bright turquoise, green or cream.

My local independent rescue (one of my best friends had two cats from them) charge a £90 adoption fee per cat, if that helps.

The lite version of the Equidry long coat might also do the job. It has the thinner fleece so shouldn't be too bulky, or you could go for the mesh-lined mac version. If you get a 'tall' sized one, it will cover the tops of your boots. Or there's the Reincoat equivalent to the the mesh-lined one...

Where I am in Staffordshire, it started raining around 11pm yesterday and hasn't stopped since (at least whilst I've been awake). Not due to stop until sometime tomorrow. I only had to pop out for food shopping, and I was glad to get back home! Those of you with horses to look after definitely...

Completely agree, and apologies if that wasn't clear in my reply. It's definitely not the OPs fault that the coat isn't fit for purpose due to its age.

If I remember rightly, the marine colour is from at least two years ago, so unless it has a waterproof membrane, it could simply be that the waterproof coating is no longer effective. Although you obviously bought it as new, it wouldn’t have been newly manufactured. In terms of another new...

I've never owned my own or even had a share, but I do ride at a good trekking centre every Saturday (pretty much). I don't have the time or money to own, so this suits me fine for my life right now. I also actually like the fact that I get to ride a wide variety of horses over the year (I've...

When I got my first cat, he was a rescue called Chester, and although I didn't dislike the name, he just didn't look like a Chester to me. 🤷‍♀️ I tried various names out for size, but the one that stuck was Oscar.

I’ve got a couple of pairs of these and just bought another pair in the new plum colour. I find they’re good for this time of year, but not quite warm enough (for me) in really cold weather, unless I’m wearing my Equidry or riding skirt over the top. They’re comfortable to wear, and not too...

All gorgeous! I love an Icey, and your highland mare is the spitting image of my best pony mate Wispa from Cannock Chase Trekking Centre (in my avatar).

There's a fabulous standie x cob at the trekking centre where I ride. Size wise, he's middleweight and around 15.2hh. He's one of those rare unicorns that really is anybody's ride. Put a beginner on him, and he'll look after them, but he can really fly with an experienced rider on board. He has...

Whilst I agree that it was great to have some coverage, I’m going slightly against the grain to say I was really disappointed with it. Way too many interviews and no where near enough action. I don’t mind some behind the scenes stuff, but it’s what goes on in the arena that’s the important bit...
