    Washing!

    Mine go to the rug wash lady. I can wash them at home, but drying's a pain! £3 a pad, washed, dried & returned to me.

    Who’s bought incredibly unsuitable horses and had it work out?

    Yeah, bought a 3 year old Exmoor when I really needed something a bit more solid. Don't care. We've had our ups & downs, but he's the light of my life, the most gorgeous, sociable creature known to man. I needed a Dave.

    WWYD - Unhappy with vet service

    Exactly. When Dave had colic & was so poorly, I had the vets give clear expectation of next steps & what to do. They were wonderful.

    Child "Influencers" (Exploitation)

    I find the whole thing very uncomfortable.

    WWYD - Unhappy with vet service

    Not acceptable at all in my book. With something as critical, I would expect regular contact. Definitely raise the issue.

    Life and horse trailers.....kicking around options

    Dave has never been great to load, but the 401 is very wide & inviting. This is the first day he saw it. I expected him to have a sniff & we'd leave it at that. I walked on to grab my tub of treats & he followed me straight on. Had to get it on video as proof...

    Life and horse trailers.....kicking around options

    This is what prompted me to get my own. I got a very reasonable Ifor 401. It only weighs 780kg.

    Anxiety\fear getting worse

    Yes! I do Reformer Pilates which is ace for core, balance & strength, which helps me feel "right" in the saddle & therefore more confident.

    CDJ withdrawn from paris

    Dave loves a show. ALL THESE PEOPLE to give him attention, including a guy on a mobility scooter that I expected would send him into orbit, no he gave that bloke the biggest snuggle. He loves to chat to people. He wasn't scared of the horse drawn farm machinery, although he looked a bit...

    Anxiety\fear getting worse

    Are you female & of a certain age? Menopause destroyed my confidence. Now with HRT & some very supportive friends, I am making good progress back to where I was before!

    Very specific question - psyllium husks and ulcer prevention

    I get Hestevard Colon Aid. It's pricey, but lasts ages. I feed the first 7 days of every month. There's also NAF Sand Gard.

    CDJ withdrawn from paris

    I have seen her in many press posts today. Many people calling it a "Witch Hunt". I have to agree with all who have commented before. If she'd come back riding with a more sympathetic, softer manner, we (the general people) may well have forgiven. BUT She Who Once Claimed To Be Ethical, Kind &...

    Very specific question - psyllium husks and ulcer prevention

    The problem with the human psyllium is that it's gross & goes to gloop as soon as it goes in their mouth. Some ponies (DAVE!) find it absolutely abhorrent, so he has to have pellets.
