I buy from here. I like the balance riding tights, really comfy and my first pair are coming up to 2 1/2 years now. They do lots of other styles though including without sticky. Worth keeping an eye on their Facebook page for offers. https://jodhpurs.uk/collections/ladies

They can and they will eat too much than is good. I think they first noticed the anemia caused by garlic in wild populations before they replicated in tests.

HKM do really good value saddle cloths in a variety of colours. I like the range which have a soft fleece lining but aren't too thick. They last well too, i have some that are 10 years old

I like my Weatherbeeta Rip shield one. The fabric is strong but thin so it a good balance between being tough and not too hot. I got mine in a sale though as they're not the cheapest.

Just to give you something to aim for. My chunky 16.3 tb weighed about 580kg when fit and in work, that's from a weighbridge. He had just under 9 inches of bone plus deep and broad chested. ROR recommend no more than 17% including tack which for mine was 15st 6lb. At the 15% guidance...

I've been at venues with 2 or 3 rings with people warming up for different tests so there will be movements not included in your test happening around you. And a horse getting anxious and bucking or similar in trot is more likely to upset a sensitive horse than a calm controlled canter. Also...

Ouchie. My previous tb managed a similar wound on the side of his cheek that was so and sharp my vet said if he hadn't been stabled at the time he'd have wondered if he'd been attacked. We did search the stable thoroughly for edges. One theory was a risen clench if he'd been scratching the...

Nope going to Prague to try and brings back a Czech horse, insert Czech breed of horse here for the circus. Have to say my total PMs in all the time I've been on here are tiny.

I had the opposite with mine and he was allergic to shavings and came up in bumps. Keeping him off shavings fixed it.

There are lots of haylage options now so compare the analyses.. Bagged/small bales have the advantage that they will be produced to a set standard. Timothy versions can be good though the lowest in calories round here turned out to be an own brand from a local feed merchants, it's a late cut...

Problem with any delivery options is that it depends on the local agents. DPD have been great, one time I had to go out and rescheduled when it was already on the van. I got home and doorbell went. Mohammed from DPD standing there saying I was passing on my way home so thought I'd see if you...

See if this link works. https://1drv.ms/x/s!AuDIUd6rBeJZjsZVKxkzkaBfv3lTJQ?e=IVuCXB It's best to download and open in excel as easier to read in a spreadsheet. However cheapest are pro mineral (39p per day) pro balance basic (63p) and equinatural (51p) All these manage to have good levels of...

I did a spreadsheet a while back comparing some balancers with cost per day and level of key minerals. I'll dig it out.

When there was a flu outbreak a few years ago and venues were checking, I had to get my ex racer's redone as the dates were wrong. They were in his passport flagged 1,2 and 3 but the gap between them were too long so they weren't valid. They were done when he was in racing/training.

I wouldn't unless I was getting it back. Wouldn't want to lose my stash in case I need it.
