Thank you Arizahn. Some commonsense which is something so often lacking on this forum. Admittedly my tongue in cheek post may have been a bit annoying but really to suggest that me and OP have done this to mislead people is ridiculous. I still stand by my statement that the haircut was a...

Are you lot mad. I have no connection with OP at all. There are millions of mothers and daughters out there you know.

Well Sugar and Spice you have assumed a lot. MY daughter and I posted this in conjunction just to see what replies we'd get and they were exactly what we expected. How we've laughed. We agree with the people who think a cut mane is a piddling matter in a world where some people can't get enough...

We bought a horse back when we discovered he was back on the dealer's yard. The sheer pleasure we have form seeing him every day is worth it. Good luck.

Yes I remember it well. "You need to get a pony of your own" , some well meaning idiot said!

Well every autumn I dig it straight in, fresh from the stable and leave it to rot down over the winter. In the spring I dig compost from the bottom of the muck heap and top dress with that. This compost we suspect is 15+ years old! My veggies are always fab, though this year's excellent...
