    Stable mats

    Asking on behalf of a friend! She has a new horse that seems to be kicking out at the stable walls only when the horse Seems to be is in season! That’s the only thing the horse seems to do no other change in behaviour and is on A chaste berry supplement. I suggested maybe wall mats might help...

    Midges

    Any recommendations on the best product to use for midges. Horse can’t wear a fly rug as she gets to hot even overnight! I’ve read about Avon skin so soft? Does it work? And do you dilute it?

    Mixing pellets

    Just a quick query horse currently on part livery and using snowflake premium pellets. Horse needs more than one a week and was thinking of buying in bulk(storing in my garage) to save money instead of yard adding and charging a small fortune. I’ve seen online a huge variety in prices for...

    Selling

    So I basically tried selling my horse 18months ago and gave up and put her in the field for 6 months while I had my second child. I now have come to terms that I really should sell her as she’s barely in any work and I really don’t have the money anymore. I literally don’t have the time to...

    Bitting

    Now I know this has been done to death but I’m sort of stuck and in need of suggestions! Horse was in a ns trans angled loose ring snaffle. She liked this bit but chomped on the bit a lot and draws her tongue up. I’ve tried a variety of different bits over the years. Full check d ring...

    Yards accepting stallions?

    I was on a liberty yard where there was one. The owner didn’t have a clue and became a dangerous situation for my horse to be in. The owner got very friendly with the ym hence why I left

    Hiring a 3.5

    Thankyou for your replies. The plan is to keep it on the drive at home. I have got some quotes back and I’d need to hire it 1 and a half times to break even which I believe is doable. The only thing I’m struggling to find out is taking payments. I get you can get machines to take the...
