    Are fly repellant tags and collars safe to use in a herd?

    Yeah it doesn't require a headcollar. I'd never leave a headcollar on when unsupervised. She will be checked once a day but I can't really expect the person to go looking around 35+ acres when she would usually only have to grab her horse from the gate lol.

    Fly repellant tags and collars?

    Clipping now

    Would you clip now? My mare has a bib clip atm and she is slightly sweaty when ridden. She has started to shed her coat and its obviously making a mess so clipping would help that aswell. Do you think iy would be accseptable to full clip her now?

    Charles owen young rider- does age matter?

    Driving in country lanes

    I read that it was 1 year ago that happened, if i had remembered i wouldnt have posted this today. I didnt think you could reverse a trap so i was wondering how you handle the situation when the car driver refuses to reverse .
