Sorry accidently posted too early of phone What do you pay off the field in summer as apposed to during winter for the following Small square hay Small square haylage Small square straw Large round haylage Large round hay Large roubd straw etc

Hi Over the last month or 2 we have been finding it difficult to get decent haylage so are currently thinking about buying a large quantity straight of the field ready for next year (we currently buy 1 or 2 at a time) probably between 50-100 bales, I was just curious if anyone else does this...

Sorry bit off topic but could anyone tell me where the best places are to look for these kinds of places? Would it be word of mouth or online sites? Thanks

Where I am (south wales) its £30 a month on the local farm for this you get a stable and a 15 acre field for mares or a 10 acre field for geldings, horses can stay out 24/7 from march till late november if you wish. No electric or running water but the water tanks never get empty and we use a...

Probably not helpful but we're in south wales and the council rent us 2 fields, 3 acres + 3.5 acres for just over 600 a year on the condition we fenced it and maintained fencing so I would definitely give your local council a try

15 acre field + stable = £30 per month Haylage = £30 ish pm Only during winter Straw = £30 only during winter Other feed = £20 pm about £50-£75 per year on wormers not sure about vet/farrier no lorry/trailer as i have use of a relatives when needed

Does anyone know any good suppliers for any of the above in the swansea and gower area? The supplier I currently use sometimes runs out and twice now I have had to buy small haylage at £8 a bale for my local pet food supplier. Delivery preferable but might be able to pick up if needs be.

thanks all, they sound really good so i think ill definately be ordering some, hopefully it will work out better for her aswel as she is a very messy horse

Hi all, I’ve only recently discovered this site and have already found a lot that will be handy. I do have one question though, I have seen bits and pieces mentioned about wood and straw pellets but not actual suppliers and individual comments about the products themselves. The stables we...
