Apparently it won't rain here a week next Friday. So there's that. :eek:

I've hacked my Flexible Filly muzzle as my pony was eating out of the sides. I took a hole punch and and made the necessary holes so that I could then use cable ties to close the side gaps up a bit. It's worked really well, much to the pony's disgust! The muzzle doesn't clog with mud at all. It...

My cubes are the older style so no slot. Initially I bent the grid slightly and inserted it and it then stays in the cube permanently. To fill the cube I pull the grid to the back and curve it out of the way. Fill the cube then pull the grid up and over the top. Just very occasionally the grid...

I can only comment on my own experience but I actually prefer the gusset further forward. My mare is a big moving Welshie and the rug seems more steady on her during all her various antics. Definitely no rubbing and no restrictions on silly Welsh cob airs above the ground.

Sir Dotalot.

I've had Newfies for many years but it's not a breed I foresee for my dotage. I'm not especially house-proud but even a semblance of 'clean & tidy' is a lot of hard work when living with a Newfoundland. I've found myself looking (oh-so-casually you understand) at rescue greyhounds recently...

Done :)

As should we have done. But it was a judge who'd liked ours as a puppy and we were young and foolhardy back then!

I've not shown in many years but enjoyed it immensely. I shall live vicariously through you all on this thread. The last time I travelled to LKA the (unexpected) snow fall was terrible and we were stuck on the motorway for 7 hours. In the end someone unbolted the central barrier and we all made...

If all horses were lucky enough to have an owner as caring as you there would be far less suffering in the world. I'm so sorry for all you are going through.

A friend's TB suffered from megaoesophagus and it presented initially very much as you are seeing in yours. More usually, in megaoesophagus, the choke symptoms are more apparent but in hers we saw almost exactly what you're seeing, with her mare looking more colicky than choking. If you see what...

Having horses with a bit of wither, I wouldn't now go back to any rug that didn't have wither relief like many of the Weatherbeetas. Just MPO.

I've only just seen this thread and wanted to add my thoughts to everyone else's, who have expressed themselves far better than I could. I do hope that being home now will speed Tracey's recovery. I do also hope that neither Tracey nor her fearless little mare suffer long term trauma.

I've been using the haycube for years and love it. It's been a game changer as I, like you, was sick and tired of battling with wet hay nets, especially in the winter. I found that it was rather too easy for my horse to move the cube in the stable when I placed it on the bar designed to keep it...
