    Pergoquin or Prascend?

    Hi, can anyone tell me the difference between these 2 drugs please? One is cheaper but both say they are used to treat PPID/cushings. My old pony has been on Prascend for years, 1 tablet a day, so just wondering as I order 160 at a time, if I can save myself a few quid buying the Pergoquin? Tia

    2023 hay crops

    The problem with that though is he risks the weather turning. We’ve already made first cut haylage and are currently in the process of making hay, we’ll hopefully get second cut haylage in august. Making good hay is tough, anyone can make bad hay, we prefer to make ours while the sun is shining!

    British Eventing flu vaccine rules

    Hi all, can anyone please tell me what the current rules are re vaccine intervals for BE? I’ve tried to find out on line but due to the shortage of vaccines last year, it’s all very confusing to me. Is it 6 or 12 months as it doesn’t seem that simple anymore, help me please🙏

    Paddock vacuum recommendations please

    Hi all, looking for a really good paddock vacuum. I currently have a ph500 trafalgar which has been fab for the 8 or so years I’ve had it, but I’m struggling now with the manual aspect so I need one that you tow behind and it just sucks the muck up. Don’t want a sweeper as they’re apparently no...

    Vetting certificate

    This is what’s concerning me, I had the usual phone call straight after and he mentioned one thing but said it wasn’t of any concern, so now I’m wondering if the report will say something different to what he said on the phone. I sent a strongly worded email on Wednesday but still haven’t had a...

    Vetting certificate

    Hey can I ask anyone who’s had a horse vetted, stage 2 if that makes a difference as horse is an unbroken 4 year old, how long did you have to wait for the report? Horse passed vetting, was told I’d receive the report, 2 weeks on and despite 1 phone call and an email reminder, I still haven’t...

    Camera for horse trailer

    This is what I was just thinking? I’ve had cameras in every lorry I’ve ever owned and always had the monitor on while travelling, that’s the whole purpose isn’t it? How is looking at a satnav any different to glancing occasionally at a camera monitor?

    Yard move ....

    OP, if you’re really struggling to choose, the only thing maybe is to list each yards plus’s and minuses? Add up each column at the end then use the one with the most pluses!?‍♀️I’m a dreadful decision maker so I feel your pain?

    Dealing with yard bullies

    Then they win though? Sorry but OP you need to grow a pair, stand up to these b**ches and don’t give them the satisfaction of seeing you go too as it appears your predecessors have done! I realise that’s a lot easier to say than do, but in my experience, the best way to deal with bullies is to...

    New Yard - Anxious about fencing…

    As others have said, it’s more likely that his injuries are being caused by other horses while they settle into their new herd dynamic. Having run my yard for nearly 30 years, I have on occasion had to put sheep netting along one side where the horses are grazing next to sheep. What I do in...
