WTF? Oh the irony - so my old skull cap without a peak will definitely be less safe than going bare headed when clipping? I’d taken a break from this place & left FB because of this sort of insanity - came back because I was really really struggling but I don’t think I can do this anymore

One of my traditional cobs arrived with lice, I bathed with louse killer then clipped and another bath - pretty much eliminated them . I wiped clippers over with louse killer inc taking off blades and cleaning behind and also the filters. My overalls went in the wash with a little louse killer...

Got trolled for saying I use an old/had a fall in riding hat for clipping - apparently that’s more dangerous than not using one at all - WTAF?!

Love the HM seat saver - I use the normal one and am in agony with hip pain if I don’t- I find it works in any saddle I’ve tried

Love Dan and if you saw him on one of his Tom Beech days then you could cover a lot of bases in one journey!

Went to Limpopo in Botswana and had the most amazing week - loved how remote it was and adored the basic trail camping - def was a frontiers woman in a previous life ? would go again in a heartbeat if I won the lottery!

We were surprised how few people were wearing masks and it was packed at lunchtime ! I wandered through each hall then went back to coco to wait for our demo slot - we would have hung around the shopping a lot more if masks had been more common - we were the only ones?

I bought a two year old with the intention of making a nice hogged cob - he’s now 4 and still fluffy as all the judges adore him and he’s shown a real talent for dressage (serious red ribbon collector with my trainer on board - she was only going to keep him ticking over while I had surgery but...

I’m doing the TSR inhand demo this afternoon with my traditional today if anyone wants to say Hi ? OH is doing it with his hunter ?

June/July in the vet section Fits /Seizures. DESPERATE for HELP

Check my thread about this - we’ve been through this recently but I’m not ready to revisit or type the whole journey again but we really did try everything including vets from around the world contributing to Harry’s care

A dear friend is in the middle of this right now ? suddenly OH hated horses, found her boring etc she spent a fortnight in hell trying to work out/ negotiate what the problem was and then he upped & left one morning to move in with a friend of theirs - looks like he was just trying to find a...

6.4 goes under an HGV mot so more costs & higher standards than normal car/class 7 ones. Chassis condition is seriously important as it will cost a fortune to fix ! You need a proper pre purchase inspection to see if it’s just scabby surfaces that could be rubbed down and painted or if it’s a...

I use QHP Odin on my 4 yr old traditional cob - it’s his favourite bridle. He hated PS Sweden one I saved up for ! It’s a lovely fit, true to size with a generous browband but the leather quality isn’t great - it’s softened a treat with leather dressing and looks really smart but the handle (or...

Dexter has what the vetting described as cellulite - doesn’t disappear with weight loss - could be that!
