I know there have been posts about this before but when I tried to search nothing came up. So what is in your first aid kit? We have 3 horses and have hardly anything left in our 'first aid drawer' so I'm stocking back up and wondering if there are things that I have forgotten/didn't know about. :)

I'm pretty sure my horse has ringworm. A raised lump appeared on her neck 2/3 days ago and today the hair has fallen off it leaving a perfect scaley circle. Is there any way to treat this without a vet? Obviously I will call the vet if I need to but would appreciate any advice on any 'over the...

From Corley Bio-wood. I ordered 1 tonne of pellets at 8am this morning and they arrived at 12 noon. I'm approx 4 miles from them so expected them to be delivered this evening or tomorrow but they said they could sort me out as soon as possible. Fantastic! And the lady that brought them on the...

lochpearl I think I will. I'll give spillers a ring and see which one they recommend as my girl will be 16 in a couple of months and not sure if she'd need the original one or the senior.

I am considering feeding a balancer through the summer but I was wondering if anyone could tell me the recommended amount to feed to an approx 500kg horse? If I know the amounts I can work out the cost per week. I would be interested to hear about any brand not just the ones stated in the title...

option 2! Go for a wander down the bridle path and see how far it goes. Should give you more of an idea. Sounds great that you've got the space to do what you want though!

Looks very nice.

Allen and page do a special sugar and cereal intolerance diet. Might be worth looking into this. I'm not sure how good it would be though for keeping weight on?

Definitely agree!
