does anyone use a website primarilly to buy their horse supplies? everytime i take the trip to my local (which isnt that local) tack shop it just seems to get more expensive each time! can anyone recommend a good online store, or have people found it's not worth it due to postage etc... thanks!

thats an idea, i'd be worried that she wouldnt have any respect for the tape tho, theres something about a sturdy fenced menage that feels safe. this is a horse that walks through charged electric fence when she's fed up with her own grazing !! but i suppose if it was an area that she wasnt...

thanks for all the suggestions guys! moog - i was wondering about mud fever actually as she has the same nasty lumpy crusty sores on her fetlocks, and even the other little pony has started getting mud fever patches but is otherwise unaffected by the flies etc. could mud fever affect the face...

no shes not kept in, i know this would help but where they are at the moment its not a possability, they do have access constantly to a large yard with thick shelter from trees, its hard to describe but they go over head and act as a complete roof. the nice thing about this is they can put...
