paddy555 kind off lost the will for it. but it talks about the spread from eastern europe which has been happening for some time, relates the spread of disease to possible poor grazing combined with the exuberance of sycamore seed production and recommends managing grazing or picking the seeds...

precisely what do you mean by that

ycbm you twist my words or didn't read them. Not blaming individuals It's the circumstances we as self appointed custodians of all things great and small have created that have reduced our poor beasts to living in an even poorer parody of that which nature has designed them to exist and thrive...

Point being hairycob they eat them for want of something else to eat!!

sigh, just google it. 'There's none so blind as them as won't see'. Ploughing through Hippiatracia to see if the greeks new about the connection. So far Belladonna including spuds and tomato's, Hemlock and Deadly night shade induce similar symptoms.

So what you gonna do? remove all sycamore, privet, yew, ragwort , oak, maple and any other plant from the environment that is injurious to horse health?. Or manage their grazing, after all, their environment is artificial any way, we do have to poo pick for them, we do have to introduce variety...

Yep, keep the jewels right up tight. Cords give a little grip, jogging bottoms are too loose and too warm also pointy shoes not hiking boots until he gets his heels, down stirrup jammage is disconcerting, full face crash helmet? (last is a joke)

For timber, length x breadth x thickness divided by 1728 gives you cu ft. Each species has it's own density therefore weight Google dry weight per cu ft of say yellow pine then google weight per cu ft ally bobs your uncle. If you are thinking of horse box floor ? Then you have to use a...

Bath in tea tree oil and walks on tarmac or concrete to toughen up it also saves trimming claws :)

Fantastic well done both

Great idea !! Get your self and horse trained, get a good two wheeled cart the right tack. Charge others for hay delivery, horse drawn poo pick, weekly shopping, other peoples weekly shopping, kids to school, drunks from pub ,or to pub if banned, go for it i can see this idea has legs !

Mine likes to squeeze through tight spaces, think he's telling me something. Welcome, and keep your hands in your pockets :)
