Well I'm back in Cornwall now 9long story). Up in Torpoint, working in Trago, horses are halfway between lol

I've been using the big ones as water buckets for at least 12 months (if not longer) and have had no problems with handles snapping. Despite them being emptied and refilled daily, even when the water in them was freezing in the winter there has been no quality issues :)

King's Composer is at Dalcotes just outside Newquay. Highly recommend him and his owner is a lovely helpful lady.

Ditto this. It is the only thing that has stopped my WB getting it and I tried every product going. He can get it anytime of year even if the only moisture is a heavy dew!

Mine go out once the frost is off the grass, I won't turn out until it's gone as I have horses who have all had laminitus and won't risk it. Generally it means they go out anytime from 9.30 (if it's a lovely sunny morning) to 11, then they come in between 2-4 depending on light. However I do...

Under advice I soak for 12 hours and then I give it a good rinse to get out any of the sugar infused water that gets trapped inside and can leech back into the hay. Never have any problem with it smelling if I do this, if I don't rinse then by the time it's drained a bit it starts to smell...

Both the ones I've mentioned (the Luck's and Gordon) are FULLY LEGAL!!!! Just because they don't appear on that website doesn't mean they are not legal! As I said I wouldn't use anyone other than the Luck's and Gordon! The Luck's took two stressy mares from the yard I'm at to Spain a few...

Gordon Hamilton is great. As are P & L Luck, both have moved my horse from Cornwall to NE Scotland (and back) Gordon even left my horse at an overnight stabling stop at Bristol happily resting and eating and drove into Wales to pick up another horse then back to Bristol to get Blake, rather...

Yes my boy definitely knew. He was a total angel to ride, he also stopped nudging me aroung the tum before I even had a bump. Once my son was born he went back to his old habits, although he could be behaving like loon and as soon as the little one appeared he was good as gold and if he sat in...

Yes I made an informed choice with an open mind not to take drugs, I made an informed choice with an open mind to get help for my problems. She closed her mind to everything but the drink and drugs. That's probably why I'm turning a healthy, hearty and relatively happy 40 this year and...

And where do I claim to be perfect? I'm far from perfect but I used myself as an example of choice, I had the same choices to make when offered drugs as she must have. I chose not to. I too had mental health problems I sought out help and took everything that was offered to me and sorted my life...

Right haven't read everything and can't be bothered to go back and find bits to quote but here's my take. Very sad for her family and I do feel sorrow and sympathy for them. However, she chose her path. I used to hang around with a group of people who used to smoke and take 'hard' drugs...

Sue sorted out loan cob's loading issues in a morning. I can now take him anywhere and load and unload him. I didn't have to pay as it was through Horse magazine, but had I known that it would work so well I'd have paid to have someone like her out far sooner.

You have every right to be proud of your lovely daughter. She's such a lovely rider and a lovely person to boot :) Having seen some recent pics all I can say is fantastic. But I know how you feel about not posting pics. I stick to FB then the people who's opinion really matters to me get to...

Already said it by text but well done :D
