One of ours went down with a systemic ringworm infection, It was shocking to see her in the grips of it, and she lost a lot of weight in the process. We had to use Grisol-V powder from the vets to sort it, very toxic stuff and me being the only bloke in the house was the only one who could...

If you want to just write freehand, use a chalk pen from Hobbycraft. Kuretake make them, and are about £5 each. You need the Posterman type. This was done with them It was done with colour stencil masks though. http://www.kuretake.co.uk/products/sign/pma-10.aspx Chalk sprays will...

Nothing in writing. Not particularly happy with the way the son behaves (could tell you a story). I don't go down there much nowadays TBH, but the wall was an L shape and the crack was in shorter wall, they ended up rebuilding the whole of the L and then expect us to stump up for it.

We have kept our horses on the same farm for about 6 years without any real issue. About 2 years ago, the father running it got sick and moved away, and the son moved in and took charge. Horses have been kept in what were pens which calves were reared in. A new gelding was moved in last...

Would these local shows be jumpingon a surface, or on grass because I can understand people not wanting to push their horses over the bigger stuff if the ground is hard ?

We went to Allens Hill in Pershore at the weekend with my daughter and her friend so they could do some unaffiliated showjumping. We bumped into some regulars there and got into a conversation with one of the mothers. She said her daughter had been jumping affiliated for a couple of years now in...

I look at this thread and feel fairly sad that people feel they have to justify how and when they deal with this part of their horses management. If the horse is in work and sweating up badly when being worked, then clip. If it isn't in work, and coping with the summer heat, then don't clip...

If you can send me a message through my site contact button with what you want when you order it, then I'll make sure it is done as you want :)

This was actually the first clipping design I made. It was clip in as you can see, but the reason I didn't continue with this format is because long hair lies down, and short hair doesn't (like a loo brush). When the hair around the design continues to grown, it lies down over the edges of the...

I can cut both in the same sticky media used the the clipping, but the reason I do 2 different types of stencil for brush and clip is stated in THIS post You will take more hair off with the brush design than the clipping one.

If you use the 'cart' button on the top right of the page to see the summary of choices made, it shows you the cart page, and there is a box with 'voucher' below to put the code in, and then use the add button to apply it.

The reason why we make them sticky is for fidgets (so people who put them on can take their time), and the reason why people like stencils for producing the result is because they provide an accurate guide to work from. Whilst I design them, I've only even clipped 4 or 5 designs on since I...

You are welcome :)

If anyone is looking to get a design from my website, when you get to the checkout, use the voucher code H&H2011 and it will knock 15% off the prices of both clip and brush stencils :)

If you think about it, a shamrock shape is a fairly big area to shave. The way I design the stencils is so you shave the perimeter rather than the shape. In the case of a shamrock, this means there is less hair shaved this way. It also means that as the shape is always longer than the hair...
