I’m getting absolutely bombarded with ads for horse supplements atm.
What I find most annoying is that as smart as these ads are (I work in digital marketing) they don’t acknowledge when you’ve made a purchase and therefore no long need the ads! I still get ads across all channels for body...
I’ve been looking at swapping my feed onto a powdered bit & min supplement, and away from pelleted balancers.
*added* - it is Sunday night and I have been up a very long time today so if I’ve missed the obvious, that is why 😅
I’ve looked at SS, PE etc and was 99.9% ready to stock up on PE, but...

I think when tension comes into play, we need to think not only about physical pain, but the mental welfare of the horse too. Anything more than just grazing in a field brings a horse into unatural territory that we need to prepare them for. I totally realise that no one can recreate arenas like...
It's interesting on a dressage scoring sheet, on the collective marks, you have 'paces, impulsion, submission, rider'.... 'submission' is such an ugly word and immediately means riders think they need a 'submissive' horse... when really, what they need is a harmonious and willing partnership...
Such good tips on this thread 🙌
