Well.. His mane is slowly growing back after loosing most of it through the summer , it kind of went in between a hog and a really short moheekan! I liked it and he suited it . Irish draught x so had the kneck for it. But his forelock is a whole nother level !! It had gone reeelly long, so I...

My stables are 11ft by 22ft so I put the bedding at the back and his matts at the front with his hay and water . this means that he has no concrete to stand on which I prefer. I've learnt after last couple of years not to be ott with his bed , I take out all the poos I see, but if there is...

My 5 year old has a net. I use shires haylage nets rather than haynets as these have smaller holes than haynets also the rope to tie them up seems to be good quality and quite strong. I tie them lowish so he's not stretching up to eat . I can't give it him loose he drags it into his bed and them...

Anyone? Somebody must know someone

Does anyone know of a transporter who could transport a foal of around 7/8 months in January from Co.sligo over to the UK? Would ideally need picking up and dropping off in same day/night. None of this picking up a couple of days before hand and being taken to transports yard before being...

The best one I had for the field is a cheap £1.50 nylon one from my local farm and pet. It never rubbed and the metal roundings on them were small and square, the head collar was so soft and un stiff, it didn't rub my two when they wore them in the field last year. I always think aswell if...

Thanks very much for messaging me back
