i use a bucket of hot water some disinfectant and a brush. Did all mine last week. Takes a bit of elbow grease but at least the place doesnt get soaked. As for painting ply, id go with a paint thats used on hoarding. Johnstones opaque is good for that, weve had lots of positive feedback on that...

So sorry TP, what an awful shock for you. She was a lovely mare i remember her jockey speaking very fondly of her. Take care

so pleased its worked out. Good nannies are worth their weight in gold. My dear old Asha was the best, i never had to worry when she was with them. Herd dynamics are fascinating, i can spend hours watching them. Aria who is Ashas daughter is very good at being a nanny too. She really took our...

I met legrandes owners at the weekend . She mentioned that boys tend to be mummy’s boys . Which from how you write about Mylo seems right . Then to add to that I met your Felix when he was at my friends yard . He’s a fair size chunk . So if the older mare doesn’t look after mylo and sort the...

3 can be an odd number especially when a pair are already bonded. I think the introduction of a nanny would be ideal, as long as shes a nice nanny. It can take time for them to all get along/find there place . So i would stick it out a bit longer but keep your eye on them. The joys of youngsters .

Aria is keeping hold of this foal . But my daughter managed to get a great clip of the foal moving . If you keep an eye on her flank you should see some part of the foal move up

That sounds awful, glad you and your horse are ok. But do make sure you take it easy for a bit.

Stallion show for us tomorrow, then im hoping Aria foals on Sunday. Monday ive got my 2nd pole work lesson. ( back on board and starting to get out an about after hip replacement)

So sorry to read this, she was very lucky to have you. Take care of yourself

id wait until foal arrives. Sometimes they can give you inspiration. Good luck with the foaling

Could be mud fever . Sometimes it’s very hard to find a scab/cut . One of mine presented the same . She had some antibiotics and was fine

Hope youve got sorted OP. Thats a ridiculous timeframe to close down a yard. Thank heavens you have your parents to help out and take some of the stress away

Lovely to hear about your experiences. When my lad was born I was convinced he was going to turn grey as he was born jet black, so no foal camo at all . But had no signs of any white hairs . So I sent his hair off to animal genetics and they tested him . It came back negative for the grey gene...

He would absolutely be inspected if we get that far . I’d quite like to get him looked over by someone experienced in ID gradings before we get to that point .

Thank you 🥰
