Thank you for all your replies it's good to know I am doing ok. I leave been leaving and brushing off lightly with curry comb when dry. So far no probs. Have had her for a year now and what a learning curve. We have been very lucky 17h Irish Sport, she is quite thick set and has good strong...

Oh god just ignore me I found my original post thought it had got lost. Crazy old bag syndrome kicking in .

How does everybody deal with muddy legs? I'm quite new to owning a horse and know that you shouldn't wash and brush muddy legs for mud fever, but then I read if you let it dry and brush it that rubs the mud in too and can make sore. I then read to hose them and let dry naturally. What does...

Haha I actually have a problem with spelling the word muddy lol

Quite new to horse ownership and just wanted to see what others do when they come in with really mudy legs from the field. I know that washing them with a brush can brush the mud in and give mud fever, so I thought you let it dry then brush off at a later date. But then I read that this rubs...

Is there anybody on here that keeps their horse at Tylers? I am currently looking into this yard but have heard mixed reviews. If anybody has any info could they message me. I like the look of the yard as it is for myself and my teenage daughter, where I am currently is mainly an adult yard...

Hopefully one of the horses will give it a swift kick, that might stop it.

My lovely hubby got me a brand new Kent and Masters GP Saddle yesterday. Had saddle fitter come to yard to check my second hand saddle which wasn't suitable as I got it quick from ebay as a make do for a couple of months and ended up buying brand new adjustable saddle which should last for ages...

We are lucky, we have winter turnout upto 3pm. We only have about 7 horses per large field, but even then it has started to get really muddy. The yard owner has said no turnout at weekends until further notice which isn't too bad as most people go out hacking at the weekends so they get out...

Hi, I bought my Irish Sports Horse 17h from a reputable dealer. She was up for 3,000 and I got her for 2,250 in November. I do think it was due to the time of year as people prob aren't keen to buy just going into winter. My girl is 5 and an absolute dream in every way, so it is possible...
