Oh definitely, we have got to turning them on and off without her jumping out of her skin I just have to give her a que, I can touch her with the handle end so sound and vibration okay, just need the blades to touch her now. They are big clippers so will try with this for a little while and see...

Hi I'm getting a gas shower but not sure if I need the 5L or 10L. Has anyone got any input? It will be used once a month in summer for full baths, then periodically throughout the year for feather/ mite treatment. Thanks

Thank for all the replies. Well after all that she wouldn't let me near her with the clippers so she is a wholly mammoth with nothing this winter ?

I have a cob who I plan to fully clip, but I have no idea what weight of turn out rugs I will need. Any ideas? Previously when they were in work I did not have winter turnout, so never been an issue I now have day time turnout. Thanks

Would these be suitable? Thanks x

I thought that but because I have black boots (have to be short I have little fat legs ?) I should match them. I have a riding hat black and silver. Thank you x

Hi I'm looking at doing some in hand with my cob only at local level but I'm wondering about colour of gloves, I'm getting contradicting info should they be black or brown. I'm using short black boots, blank pants, shirt, tie and tweed jackets thanks.

There is going to be some degree of soreness, imagine you walking without shoes on across different grounds. You will be sore. If the soreness is that bad use boots. But keep up short walks over different ground to try and accustom her to the ground. Also look at her diet is there anything that...

Brill deff an option I'm using between 3-6 shavings a week and is still really wet =[

I have been reading up on this and was considering putting the shavings over the top. How many bags did you put down and use a week? How big is your mare? Thanks

I have a 16.2 cob who I very very wet. Straw is the most economical option but due to mites I need an alternative. I have tried: sawdust base with shavings over the top to deep bed but he was too wet Rubber mats with small amount of shavings he is too dirty and wet Mixed shavings too...

Treeless saddles take some getting use to I hated mine at first but wouldn't go back now. My friend jumps in hers. I would go mad about a loaner changing saddles without discussing it.

2 horses are out over night they come in in the morning to a net and feed for the day and go back out at night. They other two go out for a couple of bours in the day. It is summer time turn out only.

We have a field with four horses about 2 acers. It was rolled but not fertilised. Two horses are out at night. Two a few hours in the day. But the grass isn't doing well. I'm in a dilemma what to do with it. Section a bit off to rest it? Fertilise it? But not sure the others would want that...

If you are not sure on the raw I think edan is a good option it's kibble but without fillers etc look them up on Facebook they are really good advising what to feed. I use it along with raw
