    Recommendations for fly rugs

    Can anyone recommend a decent fly rug that doesn't make them too hot? I've not used one before as we are in an exposed, windy location but my mare is quite fine and does tend to get swollen if she is bitten badly. I've read about a Rambo fly buster rug that had repellant in it and lasts...

    Which menage surface?

    Our menage is due to have a top up. It was created about 15 years ago with a potash surface. We will mainly be using it for schooling and showjumping so was thinking of going for a rubber surface. Can anyone recommend which is better - between the mixed sand and rubber or just the larger rubber...

    I tried NAF Magic last night to try and relax my horse as she is still being marish with the horse in the next patch. She became lame when they were put together as she galloped around the field so I had to separate them again to rest her leg. She is now sound but I will try anything to keep her...

    Volunteering

    I did some dressage writing at Chatsworth Horse Trials and loved it! I was there from about 10am til 4pm but learnt a lot and got to watch some lovely horses. Would definately recommend it.

    Looking to buy some show jumps - any recommendations?

    Does anyone have the integral polyjump wings or the combi block? They look good online but would be keen to hear from anyone who has them as to whether they are worth the price!
