I fed my first horse oats, simply because it was the only type of feed that didn't get stolen at the Livery yard 🙈

Mine isn't PPID, it's a friends horse that has both.

I feed a mix to my two old horses, and a handful to a younger one who refuses to eat any other type of feed 🤷‍♀️

Been following this, as just about to start pony on Steglatro. Have always treated her as ems, but became footy couple weeks ago. Tested insulin at 90. May be of interest to you. Friends horse (19 yrs, connie x tb) tested for cushings and insulin in January. Results were acth 1250, insulin...

Mine been moulting since December 🙄. Was also pulled off grass 3 weeks ago. That's despite constant rain and officially no sunshine for 16 days! It has literally rained or snowed every single day this year, and yet the grass is growing.

15.2hh leg in each corner cob, backside like a cook. Has recently been fitted with a Bliss saddle. Eye-watering cost, but she's happy and going much better. But is adjustable, so hopefully will fit if she changes

The dogs here just get hosed off, then dog robe on. It's rained every single day this year, the place is a mudfest.

The linseed isn't soaking as well as it should, leaving the soaked mixture slightly grainy. It's of no consequence to the horse, but the texture is different. I fed some last night before checking the batch. Horse ate it all and is absolutely fine - 29yr old tb. They have to recall it as...

FB page horsey chat and stuff in Aberdeenshire. Maybe contact local RCs and see if they can put on their FB pages/ websites?

Mine have all been fed skinners. 9 month old still on pup food because at 9 months he's bloody huge! He'll go onto either working 23 or lamb and rice as chicken makes him itchy so can't have maintenance.

30yr old home bred. Retired at 14 yrs as was very difficult to ride. Realise now she probably had KS. She's very loving and rules the field. 29yr old ex racehorse. Appalling teeth, lives on hay replacer. Looks great. Has lived with me for 14 years, his owner is a locum vet, so tries to...

Was brilliant fun! Rode my friends cob who was rather high, but we did all the obstacles, apart from holding the pole. He was rather distracted but the next group arriving, and the rain hammering on the side of the school. Will definitely go again.

Having a go at working equitation.

Old not good doer gets more in winter. 3 not in work get the same all year round. Working cobs probably get more in summer, as they are restricted grazing, but working harder so I supplement their feeds.

If you ever come across someone wanting a free n easy, I have one for sale. Both current horses ridden in Winners Circle saddles that were made for them. Big horse in a jump, and tiny horse in a customs made hybrid show/dressage saddle. Love them both.
