    Old hay in gateways

    It will help to start with and then once it rots down it will make the mud deeper/area worse IME. Not worth it.

    Long range forecast anyone?

    I don't tend to pay much attention to long range forecasts, as they change all the time!

    Farriers :'(

    Just to note, my horse's keratoma did not show on xray.. but sounds like yours could be cushings related from what you have said. Also worth checking mineral balance, as that is what caused repeated foot abscesses in my late gelding.

    Hay prices

    I get the big 4 string bales, just gone up to £75 from £50. I don't have storage for more than 1 bale at a time and need 2 a month at this time of year. Hay man is reliable and will source in if he runs out, knowing the issues with supply, I'm happy to suck it up and pay.

    Sore across and around shoulders

    I would say field shenanigans or sore feet. Hope she's feeling better soon!

    WWYD

    This is so sad. If I were YO/YM I would ask them to leave if they do not want to help their horse.

    Market for spicy horses?

    I'd call that sad to be honest, and have never heard it used in that way. And it certainly does not apply to my use of the word...

    Market for spicy horses?

    Had no idea 'spicy' had such negative connotations... I often use it to describe my exracer as he can be enthusiastic about life if he hasn't had enough work, or if he hasn't been 'out out' in company for a while. ETA, when in good, varied work and going 'out out' more regularly he is still...

    What saddles do you all use and do you all love or hate them?!

    Yes I ride in the jump saddle for hacking and schooling as well as jumping. The last time I had a dressage saddle was 2005!

    What saddles do you all use and do you all love or hate them?!

    I had a Humphries and Swain jump saddle on my late horse for the last 13yrs of his ridden life, and as it did not fit current horse he had an Albion K2 GP, which I then replaced with the K2 jump 3.5yrs ago. I did have a K2 jump on the old boy before the H&S, I find them super comfy!

    Post deleted

    I saw the Tyler FB post this morning, and realised it was linked to this.. As they say, each side has their story but the truth is often somewhere in the middle. Either way it all seems like bad blood and one hell of a mess. One question I have is, how on earth can she get away with only...

    No More Dressage at Belmoredean

    I saw this on FB local pages as just up the road from me. Such a shame, it was a well used RC venue as well.

    Show me your chestnuts! Black or Brown tack?

    Thank you, I think so too 😊

    Very Reactive Pony

    I'd hazard a guess he is either lacking in something (e.g. UK soil is generally high in iron which affects copper and zinc uptake, or vit E/selenium as already suggested.) or he is in discomfort somewhere. Good luck getting the bottom of it OP.
