2 for me at the moment. One is a 16.3hh,flea bitten grey, Shire x TB. Nearly 18 years old and my complete world. <3 The other is an 11hh Dartmoor/shetland cross,skewbald,8 years old,and a darlin'. :3 Im desperately hoping to get another riding horse in the near future,one fairly young that i...

Mine will both get Christmas day off - so they can enjoy there presents too! ;D Then hopefully going for a nice hack on Dartmoor Boxing Day with the sister depending on *dry* weather!!

Little chubby pony - Handful of Mollichaff original. 150g of Horse and Pony Direct Low Calorie balancer. Sprinkling of seaweed. Chopped up carrot. Twice daily. Out on poor grazing from 9am til 5pm everyday. Small haynet full of nice quality hay throughout the night. She is lunged 2...

Ive always been a huge Baileys fan,find there products work wonderfully and mine always enjoy them. This winter i was going to invest in No. 14, but being £30 near enough,i glanced around for a cheaper option and stumbled upon Horse and pony direct's low cal balancer. My two chubbie's are doing...

Hay - £3.50 per bale. Straw - £2.40 per bale. Quality is excellent - the straw,i have never seen any so clean and fresh - absolutely thrilled this year!

Ive never used anything other than standard necks for my little dartmoor - she doesnt really need a rug anyway...more for my peace of mind. :p She's got a lovely long thick mane,rain never manages to even reach her neck fluff,so never found it necessary to add a cover. Nelson's just started...

Congratulations! Sounds like you both had a wonderful time! :D More to come,i hope?

Fantastic - you've all given me a few thoughts on things to add to my collection! Im definitely going to have to try that Lynn Russel Stain Remover an all. My mare likes to paint the walls a very horrible colour! :p

Oh my goodness - so pleased to hear you where both alright! It's a terrifying thought that you cant trust your equipment,even when checked and maintained appropriately. I too am shocked at NS's lack of caring regarding the (and many others so it seems!) incident...i wont be purchasing one for...

Absolutely not for me. Rode out on a cold winters day (no snow,and no apparent ice on the hack i was going to take),came to some black ice i hadnt seen at a road junction. My poor boy nearly went down on his knee's and i was nearly thrown under a car. He was fantastic and recovered...

Oh thank god! I thought it was just me with a weird addiction! :p My boy has... 5 x standard neck lightweight turnouts. 2 x lightweight turnouts with detachable necks. 2 x medium weight turnouts - one with full neck. 2 x lightweight,no-fill stable rugs. 1 x stable fleece. 1 x medium...

Hi guys, Just purchasing my first pair of clippers - it will be used only for hogging and removing feathers off my shire x,who has a fairly thick mane. Im not sure what ones to buy,what the best make is,and obviously ones that can do the job,at a good price! :p What does everyone else...

Mine always get a hot bran mash with a little bit of honey mixed in - only for Christmas and birthdays - and they absolutely love it! Ive also got them the seasonal Likits this year,which they shall get on Christmas day. Also getting Nelson some clippers - make him look all fancy! Phoebe's...

My 16.3 shire x eats 3/4 of a bale a night,11hh dartmoor/shetland gets 1-2 slices - so roughly 1 bale a day. Both are out on grass during day,and in at night. :) When grass is poor,i shall put my big boy back on haylage - 1 small bale of that lasts 2-4 days for him,and then the pony shall...

I loop leg straps - just how i was always told. I generally use leg straps rather than fillet strings for turnout rugs - unless the rug has come with elasticated straps,then there whizzed off and replaced with fillet. Ive never personally had,or heard of, any issues with either strap method...
