    Progressive Earth v. ForagePlus vit E

    Used to be the other way round. FP had free postage over a certain amount and PE always charged and became it was up to a certain weight, I once ended up with £20 postage. Just checked and now fp is £80 for free delivery and PE £150. Neither affect me as I don't buy enough. I get the...

    Progressive Earth v. ForagePlus vit E

    When I did a comparison a while back, the range and concentration of minerals was similar but the feeding recommendation are different which means if you feed FP at the recommended rate, you are feeding a lot more so the extra would make it taste stronger. This was a while ago and in the blends...

    Pro hunting lobby spending spree

    So it might not help with accidents but if a hunt has laid a fox scent illegally then there would be no ambiguity.

    Pro hunting lobby spending spree

    The current situation makes it difficult to reach the evidence needed for proof. One judge commented along those lines and acquitted someone who he believed was guilty but the act was flawed. If it was illegal to use animal scents then any hunt found to have used it could be prosecuted...

    But there's all sort of dog based sports banned and dogs that have lost their type as a result. No one wants bull baiting back to improve Bulldogs.

    Pro hunting lobby spending spree

    These may have been blips along the way, you remember the drama not the final result Owner was the terrier man for the local hunt so had semi official capacity. He bred Jack Russells, gorgeous dogs who ran free and joined us in hacks so I never saw a dog on a lead. That's why we hunted as...

    Pro hunting lobby spending spree

    But that's not what the hunts are saying all over the news and social media. They are talking about not just this generation but the entire line being lost as they are only bred to hunt foxes and can't possibly be trained to follow a different line. I was never convinced by the argument as...

    Pro hunting lobby spending spree

    Even the offences may not represent the true picture, it's just the ones that are caught and are likely to result in a successful prosecution. I didn't base my decision not to hunt on the handful of prosecutions locally but on the people (pro hunting) who went out with them and confirmed...

    Pro hunting lobby spending spree

    Because seeing the spectacle of people dressing up and having a big day out for the purpose of killing a fox seems worse than an animal being killed quietly in a back room. It may not ultimately make any difference to the animal but making it fun seems distateful. I have hunted as child but...

    TV - wild horses of the Canadian Rocky Mountains

    My first thought when I saw that is that they may have filmed that after a few attempts from different angles or after the journey.

    TV - wild horses of the Canadian Rocky Mountains

    He's done a few documentaries in the same style so probably got his approach down to a fine art. He was on desert island discs a few weeks ago and spent his early life working in a trekking centre which had a big impact on his life.

    Max the scared horse goes global

    Mine can be like that, usually on the way out, not going home. The reference to rabbits echoes this video

    Horse refusing hay

    No suggestions but mine does that randomly. He'll refuse one bale from the same batch, others eat it. Noone can work out why.
