The Dickies winter waterproof boiler suit will see you through the most horrendous of cold and wet days. I use it on the farm, and if anything it is too warm but it sure beats cold wet rain running down your crack...

Fed by Farmers is a really good one with very interesting and diverse guests that are more than 'just' farmers. Some of the jokes are 'cliquey' but you can cherry pick the episodes to suit. I used to enjoy Buck Off Banter, the old episodes are still online. The earlier content is more...

Not to be a party pooper, but could they have mixed up the xray pictures with another horse?

My god that is barbaric.

Is it possible to freeze mark with a branding design rather than a generic numbered brand. I have in mind like a European or USA horse stud brand where each horse has the same brand.

You make think this is a brutal idea but hear me out. Consider hiring a deer culling contractor. If they can drop a red stag from a distance in one easy shot, without the stag even knowing it has been done then it's not a bad way to go as a pony. Let FP have some lush grass, or something tasty...

You could create a cattle crush type restraint from big straw bales. Line them up on the flat edge to create a narrow feeding area from bales, let FP get used to this feeding station then block the exit. As time goes on you'd can make it narrower to stop pony from turning round, therfore has...

Another vote for a deer saddle. They're still worth a fair bit of money.

I have the moretta boots and they're great. Really pleased with them. Extremely comfy and should last long if taken care of.

Once you get them into their beds at night you can do a method called 'clipping the wings' which is cutting some wing feathers to stop them being able to fly over fences. There is bound to be you tube videos on it but you'd need the owners consent I imagine. Then fence an acre for your mare...

Keep it. It's a treasure.

Thank you to everyone that has shared their stories. I am not menopausal yet, but I am very grateful for those of you bringing this topic up, and paving the way for us who have yet to discover the joys of menopause.

I live in these gym leggings for day to day riding and general farm wear. The navy ones are a sort of matte material. They're breathable, have a tummy support panel and deep phone pockets on the sides. At £17 they're cheaper than any horse brand leggings...

Hello ? are there any facilities in Scotland, preferably NE side that provide mechanical horse lessons? I suffered a bad fall last year and I'm trying to boost my confidence. I feel a mechanical horse might be the best option as I could fully concentrate on my riding, rather than the horse...
