    Farmkey not interested - who else can I get to freezemark my horse?

    I wouldn't mind if they got back to me and said "The area you live in is too remote for us to visit - sorry" or "We haven't got enough people from your area interested yet, so it could be a wait of 6 months, but I'll take your details and put you on our waiting list". That would all be...

    Farmkey not interested - who else can I get to freezemark my horse?

    I've e-mailed Freezemark too through the contact form on their website, and had no reply from them either! lol! I think I'll just have to train to do it myself and tap into this unexploited market.

    Farmkey not interested - who else can I get to freezemark my horse?

    Hello I've been trying to get my local Farmkey rep to give me some information since Monday, but two telephone messages and a text have gone unanswered (it is the correct number, I spoke to the rep briefly and she said she's call me back but hasn't) so it looks like I need to get another...

    Really inappropriate spelling mistake!

    My OH received an e mail from BT about when a move of our account would take place, that said in it "and that is when the love will take place" :D

    The horse meat scandal has now hit home

    I went to my local butchers the other day looking for some gammon. They only had Danish prepacked slimy looking stuff. So I went to the next butcher and found the same. "Third time lucky" I thought but no, only imported vacuum packed stuff, injected full of water. So I went to Tesco and...

    Recommend padded knickers or breeches that don't *ahem* 'chafe'

    Wow thanks everyone. I'd never heard of riding tights before, but what a good idea!

    Recommend padded knickers or breeches that don't *ahem* 'chafe'

    Lol, everyone! Romeorider, do the soft seats have padding in the front as well as the back? I was n't sure from the product description and the photo only shows the back!

    Recommend padded knickers or breeches that don't *ahem* 'chafe'

    Thanks everyone. I wondered if anyone would have tried the Equetech knickers and will give them a whirl I think. :D

    Recommend padded knickers or breeches that don't *ahem* 'chafe'

    Hello Ever since I bought my horse 6 months ago, my sensitive area has been suffering due to the seams in my jods! I have several different pairs of different makes and I always make sure the seams are lying flat before I mount up, but to no avail. I think actually it may be the saddle...

    so bored of this weather!

    I'm delighted (and feel slightly delirious) to be able to report that in my little corner of Wales, yesterday was a beautiful sunny day and today is too! Yes that's right readers, do not adjust your screens, the sun is out and it is NOT raining! IN WALES! :eek: :D

    Hydrophane Leather dressing - how to open it?

    How do you open the bl@sted tin?? :o I've unscrewed the cap and tried to lever off the cover that seems to be underneath, using my fingernails and a knife blade but can't do it! Does anyone know if there is a knack please?!

    Keeping weight off in winter - I cant get it off him !! :(

    No it's not just you. My horse is an enormous apple bummed barrel due to being kept in due to the bad weather we have had recently and stuffing her face with haylage 23 hours a day, plus hardly any exercise. I'm going to have to switch her to hay mixed with straw, plus feed her some molasses...

    minus 20

    -10 can be very different to -3. And at -20, the snot in one's nostrils starts to freeze which is a very irritating experience! :p

    Can i seriously have a horse this size as my own?

    Absolutely! My horse is 14.3 and I'm 5'5" and nine stone and I think I look fine on her! I've ridden a 14.1 too and that was fine as well, I didn't think I looked ridiculous when I looked in the mirrors in the school. :D
