I have Dublins which wash well and I really like them.

Mine did better out 24/7 she had access to field shelters and was the boss so I knew she would have the best spot. Can you look into retirement livery?

For base layers I use running tops in the summer and thermal baselines from Mountain Warehouse when it is really cold. I also use a polo neck microfleece which is thin but warm to ride in for a large chunk of the year. My most recent purchases of those were from Dublin but I still own one...

I am teetotal and if we go to my Mum she gives me Schloer. I actually prefer tap water or if I must, juice. I would ask the non drinkers who are coming what they would like and believe them if they want something simple.

More the better. I cycle too and so mine is a hybrid of what works on both. The horse and the bike both have their own too.

Got 4 acres for two large ponies and that is plenty. Have three field shelters in separate paddocks as they get rotated round, these are great and are used all year round. Mine live out but one shelter converts into stables. Another one converts one side into a stable when needed. We also...

Sorry meant to quote le mieux

Yes it is

I rarely buy horse riding gear these days. However, I just received an email from my local feed store announcing the latest clothing lines they had in stock. They had a top which just had the name of the brand repeated all over it in large letters. I avoid clothing with massive branding...

I have a partition that "lives" clipped to the back of the shelter but that can swing across if I want to partition it. There are stable doors at the front which are clipped open. That gives me a massive field shelter, but I can convert it to stables if I wish. I only ever do so for vet visits.
