    How to use fields on DIY livery

    Is it just for one horse? I would likely keep the driest part of the larger field fenced off for winter, use during early summer but rest over autumn to allow for good grass coverage. Then alternate between the smaller paddock and the other half. Only concern would be shade in smaller one during...

    Colic paranoia!

    A close friend lost her horse to colic totally suddenly a few months ago and since then i have just become completely paranoid about my own horse colicking. I am really struggling to leave the yard at night out of fear there is something “off”. I also frequently end up driving back later in the...

    Sure Clip Clippers

    I have had no issue with emailing them in the past. I recently ordered some new blades and they did take a while to come with no order updates, but they did arrive fine!

    Disguising vitamins

    I'm having the exact same problem with the equimins powder, my mare will normally eat anything but thinks this is disgusting! I've tried varying amounts and currently I'm able to give her just a tiny amount which I'm going to very gradually build up, thinking of trying apple cider vinegar to...

    Long riding boots for small calves?

    I have been trying to find some brown tall riding boots but I'm really struggling with sizing, I have size 8 feet, 13 inch/33cm calves and a 17.5 inch lower leg. It seems the standard calf size of boots for my foot size is 37cm, which would be way too big. I have a budget of about £130. Any...

    Best vitamin and mineral supplement?

    Looking for a vit/min supplement for my 17yr old mare, currently working six days a week usually hack x4 and school x2, totals about 7.5 hours a week. She is currently having hay and a handful of pony nuts. Think she needs a little more oomph so was considering trying a supplement/ balancer...

    Hardstanding & general Yard Management

    Our hard standing consists of a good layer of gravel with paving slabs on top in the stable and doorways, then the rest of the area is just gravel as our land is very muddy. In the stables there are rubber mats over the slabs and we have no issues with them moving or anything.

    To clip or not to clip

    If you're going to be doing regular fairly hard work I would say clip and just go for a low trace. If you want her rugless through winter you could just do it now and it should have grown back by the time it gets cold. This time of the year they often get very warm as the weather is relatively...
