    Lightweight stirrups

    Endurance ones are fab, but not very pretty; I have them for hacking and doing pleasure rides, they are like shock absorbers! http://www.performance-equestrian.com/cat/cat020500x-item_1.html

    Is this PSD or something else?

    Doesn't sound like PSD to me, not in hind legs anyway; Mine felt more stiff and not using leg properly. I had a scan which confirmed this. Hind legs are hard to diagnose, and even harder to treat especially if not caught early. My pony had the neurectomy done and it was very successful

    Simple system feeds

    I used to feed to my three natives, but I found it hard to get it ( was a 30 mile trip) I fed Lucie cobs too. They did enjoy them, but I doubt whether it will put weight on as they are just made of Lucerne. I got bored of soaking them tbh, around £10 a bag they do last a long time though. I...
