I love & adore my Ariat Grassmeres, very warm, waterproof & fab to ride in - no steel toe caps though.

Platt & Murrell, Both equine orthapeadic specialists - do a lot of referrel work from other practices but also have a direct client base - absolutley fantastic and based at Sandon just the other side of Chelmsford. Will pm you their number.

What a fantastic lesson! Very interesting as well, i think we all can be a bit soft especially when on a very forward going horse. One of my problems is getting my horse to accept the leg (ex Racer) & my instructor keeps on drumming it into me that as a result i almost have to use them more...

Disaster for me! I am being made redundant as of Dec 1st. I know of several people that like me were in secure jobs - but guess what? All businesses are starting to feel effects.

Alfa A Oil, Saracens Show Improver pencils & Alfa beet. Found Baileys No.4 sent my boy completely OTT.

OMG! Sooo true it is rather scary. Have passed on to all my horsey friends.

OMG! This sort of thing upsets me so much, also why have they taken a picture before rescuing the poor little boy, please note they have also taken the time to take the number plate off first as well!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have PM'd you with the number of a very good worming company that can give you the best advise.

I Brought a set of Oster Power Pro cordless clippers a few years ago as they were the quietest that I could find. They are battery clippers and not full width blades BUT my TB that i had at the time would try and kill me even sedated with any other clippers. With these i could do a full clip...

I always use fine blades on my TB, definately much better clip.

I always buy my Thermatex a size smaller than normal, as they do stretch rather a lot after a couple of uses - brilliant rugs though I wouldn't be without mine. Personally love green on chestnuts, but any colour as long as its not red will look good.

He he, this made me chuckle. I have to say that my OH is the most excellent groom & I feel that he gets all of the above incentives although he would probably disagree!!! Also i am definatley much less grumpy when i have had help.

I school my horse every morning in the dark in the field as i do not have a menage, BUT, i would never, ever venture out on to even the quietest of roads if it was dark or dusky - it only takes one idiot and you would not have a hope in hell or a leg to stand on legally.

Can third Veterinary Notes for Horse Owners - absolutely comprehensive, almost a little scary at times!
