If she is alone, she wil be more stressed, which will make her tense, sensitive and possibly ulcery. As others have said, every horse needs company, but a youngster even more so. The only reason I ask is that you said this was the first time you have had a horse at home instead of on...

I have used it to get pergolide in to mine- I just use a small amount of water. I give it as 'treat' by hand, not in his bucket, so that when he realises the pergolide is in there and stops eating it, it's not his main feed. It also means I can be sure he's eaten the tablet and not spat it...

Cheap as chips hi viz jacket from Onestopcopshop. Had it a couple of yearsnow, very handy detachable lining. Bone dry, toasty warm, and totally un-missable! :)...

I would really like to nkow why Rachel's horse objected so much to hind fetlock boots. I REALLY hope he wasn't expecting pinch boots, or even worse :(
