Check out Thunderbrook feeds website. They have just what you are looking for and if you phone them are very helpful. I have had 3 on it for the last 4 months and they look fantastic.

cushion bed do 20 kilo bales, comfybed 25 - easibed is now 20 kilos too in our local shop. It is the same type of wood chip product, regardless of the size of the bales!

I buy either Cushionbed or Comfybed direct. It's the same product and buy buying direct you can save a bit of money. Cushionbed comes in pallets of 22 bales/20 kilo bales - but the wrapping I found to split rather easily Comfybed has come on pallets of 30 bales/25 kilos each. They...

My copy from last week has still not arrived.... The week before was 2 days late... Until then it was very rare to have a problem. Am hoping tomorrow will bring a copy as I miss it!

Shamelessly stolen from another forum, hope SueB doesn't mind... "It is a mind boggling thing. In general I know that Dr. Kellon doesn't recommend feeding IR horses high amounts of fat....not that they get worse, but that it masks the symptoms and the IR can get out of hand while tests and...

Hiya, just had a thought - isn't oil contra-indicated in the IR horse? Sure I have read this.... I know sometimes you have to 'suck it and see', but will be interesting to see what replies you get..

Go steady - the vet never recomended putting the horse to sleep and I don't want people thinking that. Just because I had decided to ask him to do it - is NOT the same thing. I had given up on the horse - not the vet. He may well have not agreed to my request!! It is sadly, that kind of...

Bruce Hewett Osteopath - Google him and his website will come up. Very thorough and lots of experience.

Luckily I have some nice Ebay FSS stirrup leathers which look fine - didn't want to part with them as they're not very old. Did buy a curvy leather girth though which suits her forwards girth groove better, and hence helps the saddle fit. Thanks for the tip re. Barnsby bridles - will have...

Well she voted with her feet - literally! She stepped out well in the Prestige, trotting and cantering with a good length of stride and no tantrums. The Farrington - which looked great on her - she simply refused to move in! Head up, ears back, shuffly stride when asked and then stopped...

Thanks both of you. The Prestige certainly is a handsome saddle - and a gorgeous colour. Of course, if I go for that one I'll be needing a new bridle too..... The Farrington - can't fault it really either. Will see what they're like on Fri when I ride in them. The best one for Princess...

My 'Princess and the Pea' mare says her 2nd Farrington saddle is not comfy anymore. :0( Now I have 2 of them to sell....both very nice on my bottom but not her back. Anyway, Saddler been out this morning with a Prestige GP, which I must admit looked beautiful - even though I normally...

I have a Bateson with the American doors and love it. All 3 of mine just walk straight in. With the 2 older ones I never use the ramp, they just step up. With the foal I put the ramp down as the step was a little high for her to understand! I had an Ifor before and found a tricky loader would...

Sorry just looked for them myself and struggled to find them- If you search for flexi elastic reins they'll come up!

You can get something similar for less on eBay (As ever) Check out Free Sprit Saddlery. I'm sure they were in a newsletter I had from them recently. Not seen the 'real version' so don't know how they compare, but worth a look if you're interested.
