    Social media heavily promoted supplements

    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...

    Horse straights direct - anyone use them?

    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...

    Mud Daddy 12L

    I have one that lives in the trailer and comes with me to comps and clinics etc to wash off any sweat patches after riding... I put close to boiling water in it and store it with a thermatex around it and usually after a couple of hours it's a nice temperature to use to wash off - I got it...

    Body protector recommendations

    Just reigniting this thread as currently looking for new BP. I’ve tried on the RaceSafe Provent and the small fits great. However, the Champion titanium seems to be a fair bit cheaper but I can’t try that one anywhere. Has anyone tried on both and is there much difference with fit?IE, is the...

    You’re right - it’s not natural, but it’s the closest our environment can offer to it. Just noting that anything beyond them grazing is a big ask of them. We normalize it all because it’s what we’re used too, but out of context what we expect of them is totally bonkers 😂

    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...

    Anyone else's horses got gunky eyes at the moment?

    Yes my welsh has particularly protruding eyes that are sensitive to the wind. I got him one of the Kentucky fly masks and they really help :)

    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...

    talk to me about towing!

    Oh and with reversing, my teacher said to ‘push the trailer out of the wind mirror’ - that really helped me :)

    talk to me about towing!

    Such good tips on this thread 🙌 As someone who more often than not travels alone with my horse, I’d suggest: - hitching mirror makes life so much easier when you’re by yourself - train your horse to self-load. I always like to do the back up before trying them at the front (so they can’t pull...
