    Alternative to chaff??

    I don't believe i have tried the grass chaff. Do you have a trade name? The Fast Fiber looks good. I tried speedy beat and he seemed to like it at fist but then go off it after a bit. He's very fussy but loves the Baileys fiber nuts. Just feel like I'm wasting money on the chaff as it...

    What do people think of treeless saddles?

    I borrowed one once, very comfy and great for hacking. Found that schooling is not possible however and as I do a lot of schooling and jumping it wasn't for me. If I was doing endurance though I wouldn't hesitate.

    What to do - welfare???

    Mr Johnson's Equiglo Treats - A delicious snack formulated using dried grass and herbs. Ingredients include Fenugreek, Kelp and Parsley which help promote good all-round condition, contain high levels of calcium and aid digestion. My horse goes MAD for these and he's a really fussy treat feeder.
