Hibiscrub unless too sore, then either sudocrem/udder cream or vaseline. Pig oil is fantastic and if your horse is now living in I'd swear by it. Got a mare who got awful mudfever, was too painful for her to wash it and had heard of pig oil. Applied it all over affected area every few days and...

Yes, I did have the time, money and space for her initially. I have since lost my job and yard and am now renovating an old farm to start a new yard with no funds and too many horses which I am desperately trying to find new fantastic homes for. As you can imagine it's all been a bit of a...

I've been extremely lucky, as I know prices are soaring! A local farmer has cut 60 big round bales of haylage exclusively for me, he charges £20 a bale and will deliver it to the yard/field/wherever with no extra charge! Can't get much better as it's beautiful stuff, quite dry too so any left...

Thanks everyone! I agreed to pay a deposit as they wouldn't let me get her feet done other wise and she was in a shocking state. At the time of paying the deposit - before I started working her and became aware of the issues (she was virtually untouched when I got her), I was prepared and...

Hi all, not sure if this is the right forum lounge - apologies if not! A few months ago I verbally agreed to purchase a horse for £1000. The owners of the horse then left the premises where I worked at the time leaving the horse there. While I had paid a deposit of £250 I had not paid for the...
