No I absolutely do not support hunting - just to be extremely clear. I grew up being told it was all part of country life, but then I realised it’s barbaric. I’m not a sab but I could easily be tempted. NB. I don’t want anyone to lose their income but if cash in hand for filling in holes is...

If my social media algorithm is anything to go by, the pro hunters are really chucking their money and weight at the press since the announcement re the trail hunting ban . (My algorithm clearly sees ‘horse’ and ‘outdoorsy stuff’ and decides I’m pro hunting - incorrect assumption!). There’s...

I’m always banging on about Clever Cowgirl on YouTube - but with great reason - she spends 99% of the time on the ground, just looking after her horses, making sure all their emotional and physical needs are met. Zero pretentiousness. Have a look - many of her most recent vids are with Sparkler...

Sounds to me like she maybe hasn’t established enough bond with you, yet, so she doesn’t trust you enough to be her leader when you’re out. Horses aren’t machines as I’m sure you are fully aware. Spend more time with her on the ground - what’s the equine version of dog agility called again? Try...

It’s not surprising - if you see where it is, well inside the M25, it’s surrounded by housing and commerce - and roads. Tbh, it’s a wonder it’s survived this long.

Just watched last 20 mins (didn’t know it was on) and can confirm it’s definitely worth watching. I’ll go back and watch it from the start now 😀

Can I ask - what type of work are you doing? Just seems rather personal of your boss to make these comments - unless maybe you’re on the make up counter in John Lewis?!

I use salt - not very fine nor chunky sea salt, just normal - and no, you don’t really want to do it when you have open cuts! But boy it works.

She seems like a very responsible, kind person. I’d like to think she’d have checked, given her life is potentially at stake.

You’ll like this. I watch @endurancewithdarcey on YouTube anyway but then I saw Ozzyman had voice overed one of her vids…. It is very funny

Our dog was 3/4 collie and 1/4 saluki. Cleverest dog ever…. Except with traffic - apparently Salukis are a bit thick in this regard so we blamed that on those genes 😛

Xylitol - a sweetener (made from birch tree sap) increasingly common

I’m sorry to hear this. When times have been absolutely horrible like this I quietly tell myself “this too will pass” - as in, you will come through this and there will be brighter times ahead. And there will. Honest.
