Dodson and Horrell Staypower Muesli (or nuts) was fantastic for my cob. Energy without fizz and silliness. Calm enough for dressage and enough ping for xc. Power and Performance was like rocket fuel for her, she was a complete **** on it :0

Sadly there are thousands of people that think that is acceptable. It makes me sick :(

I saw an ad last week with the pony in draw reins :0 Have also travelled 350 miles to see a cob that looked way worse than he did in the photo! Wasted journey :(

I've been with Bupa and now with Aviva cos its cheaper. Both excellent. My mum would've died this year had she not had private health care. NHS hospital sent her home. NHS said she was fine, just needed rest. A week later she was admitted to NHS renal unit by ambulance - thanks to private...

I agree its not ideal but have seen so much worse :( that wee pony is loved and looks well cared for. You should see what some have to endure :(

Beautiful! Good luck with her :)

He looks ok to me :0 he's not fat, thin or poorly looking. He looks like he's having a snooze. A lot of horses endure a lot worse than being kept in a back garden playing with kids and dogs. Am I missing something?

That's why my Welshies do dressage. It's so wrong :(

I'd advise thanking the neighbour for the spook busting :) my sympathies though, some people really are horrible :(

'Piaffe not required' - prelim 'You were obviously enjoying your day, thank you for making me laugh' - a 43% prelim!

Another vote for the Albion :) I don't find it comfy for hacking though and have a Native Pony Saddle that is the comfiest ever. Suede panels give more grip. Wintec saddles that are not the leather look are also grippy. I hate treeless saddles. The ones I've tried have all been terrible for...

I use Deet and skin so soft together daily. I only use pig oil/BB if they have a bad outbreak of itching. Prevention is the key. Once they start itching its a nightmare to stop. Electric fencing, rugs and repellents and I have rideable ponies. If they get itchy I can't do anything with them :(

The benzyl soothes the skin. It doesn't repel midges that's why I mix it with pig oil. Avon skin so soft bath oil (mixed with water in a spray), Naf Deet, a sweet itch rug and fly mask and my 2 with severe sweet itch are manageable. I've tried everything else and this is what works for them...

I mix it with pig oil. I buy BB online
