    Who's are these?!

    I had a set made of "Big Girl Pants" (as we call brave pants) and gave them to my horsey friends. Except these are black with purple glitter writing and a picture of a horse on. So far they are working well... One friend has started back after a couple of confidence knocking falls and another...

    Taking baby to stables in winter

    I know of someone who rented the stable next door to her horse's, which she used to "stable" the baby and then the toddler in, with toys, blankets etc! Can't work out if this was genius or child abuse lol! But the child is now a horse mad teen!

    Stable light ideas

    I use these https://www.aceparts.com/fluorescent-inspection-lamps/15-7600?gclid=CM3dlY76kcoCFVKZGwodGGEClQ I got mine for a tenner at B & Q and they come with both mains and car charger. One charge lasts about 5 hours, so I just recharge every couple of days. They are completely portable...

    Horses...why do we do it??

    So sorry to hear about your ginger. :-( Sounds like you and your racer have been doing great things! And I am sure you will again soon. Sending healing vibes your way and his. I am sure it's just one of those things, so please stop worrying about if you could have done things differently...

    Vet bill...WWYD?

    I wouldn't pay the interest as it has been caused by their error. I expect that they wouldn't expect you to either, but that bills generate automatically.

    Pre Puppy Preparations

    That would be great if you could nikkitodhunter! I haven't seen the article. The utility has doorways both to the hall and the kitchen, both of which I figure will need gates. But he would be able to see people. Puppy class research coming up! My friend attends one with her husky malamute...

    Pre Puppy Preparations

    Good morning all! I have trawled your All about Dogs section for the last few months picking up really interesting tips and advice, especially concerning the Raw feeding. Keeping everything crossed and frantically knocking on wood, if everything goes ok then the litter will be born around...

    Pictures: horses and wedding dresses

    You all look amazing! Can I suggest you try soaking with that new vanish gold stain remover after gently massaging some in? Works on white school shirts and blackberries! Then cool wash by hand? Used normal vanish bar on my wedding dress hem. But the gold stuff, still in pink bottle but with...

    Bad Fall

    Sorry, I don't have any words of advice this hour of the morning, but didn't want to read and run. Sounds like your priority is to make sure you follow drs orders and give yourself a fair chance to recover. Maybe give yourself a few days until you make any big decisions. So sorry to hear you...

    Does anyone use an app to track their hacks?

    I use endomondo too. My husband uses it for his cycling. He can actually see where I am in real time. So if I stop moving he knows where to send the ambulance too! :-)

    Need some late night HHO vibes!!!

    Vibes from me too. Falconer is right it is lonely, especially on a dark cold night. Make sure you keep yourself wrapped up warm etc so you stay well. You can't nurse poor Moose if you end up ill yourself.

    Pet rats...

    We have 4 young boy rats. Got them from my neighbour who bought two boys from pets at home who turned out to not be! The female had 16 babies! Sadly I need to re home my boys as my husband, who we knew was allergic to rabbits, has started to react to the rats and now the guinea pigs too...

    Best place to buy boswellia for horses....?

    Sorry Auslander - this is all new to me - where do you get yours from and how much do you feed? I have a very stiff old gelding who has been hammered in his former life. His front legs are very sore. At the moment we have had to pop him on Danilon to help him out as the supplement s have...

    Best place to buy boswellia for horses....?

    http://www.naturalhealthsherpa.com/boswellia-serrata-side-effects-extract-benefits/521079 The boswellia serrata appears to be more potent and widely used medicinally. It also doesn't have much of an odour. I buy mine ready blended with glucosamine and msm from the natural horse supplies lady.
