    What's the fairest way to charge liveries for haylage?

    We buy our own large round bales of hay which our YO supplies, but I know of some yards who charge £1 a net, as long as all the nets are the same size, the other idea is can some of your liveries who use a similar amount buy a whole bale from you and share it, if you have enough storage that is.

    Need ideas for a funny sign

    Need to put a note up on the gate to the muck heap, mainly to keep the dogs off, but want to make it funny rather than just 'shut the gate', keep it clean as there are kids on the yard, even if they do hear colourful language daily!

    Chronic Inflammation - legs

    The counting is tedious, but a vet friend told me about powdered steroids, and I told my vet, there is a place in Doncaster that has a license to powder them and pack them into sachets and they are about the same price as the 5mg steroids and Hudson is on the same dose but now only 2 1/2 sachets...

    Chronic Inflammation - legs

    My poor chap has really been through it since the beginning of April, firstly it was thought to be infected mud fever in back legs so feathers off and antibiotics which didn't help, then chorioptic mange (which I do think was a factor) and the fronts started so those feathers came off. Two...

    Feeding Yogurt after antibiotics

    My horse is on a fairly hefty dose of antibiotics at the moment and I was wondering if it was appropriate to feed some yogurt once he has finished them to restore some to the balance in his tum?

I am a great believer in...
