    FAL turnout filling with water! What to replace with?

    I don't really want to buy a Rambo because they are sooo much more expensive that the FALs. My FAL was £80 on ebay with a detachable neck (which I never actually used!) I'm considering just rugging him in two no fill 1200D rugs then if the top one is ripped a bit he still has one underneath...

    FAL turnout filling with water! What to replace with?

    I'm gonna get it washed/repaired and sell it since it's a bit big anyway. I'm going to buy either a 1200d Amigo no fill or a 1200d Chillton no fill (from ebay) tonight - anyone recommend which? To use on milder days and to have as a back up. Will probably buy another 40g FAL in the size...

    FAL turnout filling with water! What to replace with?

    I bought my horse a FAL 40g turnout at the start of the winter which has been pretty good so far. It's got several small tears on the outside and he's just torn a small bit of the inside too. It's also a bit too big for him so was thinking of replacing it with one of the same but smaller...

    Oh cool :) Since last night the FAL has gone out of stock on equestrian clearance in the size I need so going to have a look online and see if I can find somewhere else where they're in stock!

    Best Turnout Rug with 40g - 100g of fill

    I'm looking for a couple of new turnout rugs for my cob. He is 15.1hh and not particularly broad shouldered. He currently has a Masta which he came with which is ripped. I want to pay no more than £70 and ideally less than that. I've had a search online and come across the following: Masta...

    Urgent - Equest Pramox and immendiate turnout

    I was planning to worm my two horses with Equest Pramox today, put them straight back onto the same pasture for 48hours and then move them to a new field. However I have just noticed the following: "In order to limit the impact of moxidectin on dung fauna and due to insufficient data regarding...

    New bridle - Pink Equine/Heritage comfort/other?

    I've been looking for a new bridle to buy online for my 13.2hh cob. It's just for everyday use/hacking etc as I don't show. I really fancy a pink equine one to brighten things up a bit, and from what I've read elsewhere they are made from really nice leather too. Any opinions? However, I...

    Shires grazing muzzle - how to fit?

    I bought my 13.2hh cob a cob sized shires grazing muzzle today. When I tried it on him the bucket section was pretty snug. I am not sure how tight they are meant to be as I've heard they can rub. Considering swapping it for the full size but unsure - will it be too easy for him to get...

    Advice on bit please

    I have a 6 year old 13.2 cob who's currently in a happy mouth flexible mullen 2-ring dutch gag. He's chewed the happy mouth though so it's become abrasive. I've moved his reins off the dutch gag ring and onto the large "snaffle" ring as he's not been too strong with me. He's only used for...

    New bit advice

    I've just started riding a 6 year old 13.2 gelding who came with his tack. His bit is a dutch gag but one of the ones which only has one ring below the large ring, instead of two (to which the reins are currently attached). The mouth piece is a mullen but made from a flexible soft rubbery...
