    Saddle conundrum - 16.5 inch HM Flexee or Ghost Piccolo??

    I love my Flexxee. Just note they don't come in half inches, so the saddle is either a 16" or a 17".

    High paying flexible jobs

    I'm pretty much just Real Living Wage, however I have a very flexible employer, so I take long lunch & ride then, I do chores in the morning. I have a "2nd" job in that I work on call for my main employer out of hours. That's quite well paid & lifts my salary substantially.

    What would you think of a yard that doesn't ask new arrivals for a strangles test and doesn't quarantine?

    I know a lady who had a new horse arrive on yard, not isolated, presented with snotty nose, still not isolated. Friend lost her previously healthy young horse to Bastard Strangles not long after. She'd had him since a foal.

    All four legs swollen - what on earth is it...

    I thought cellulitis. ETA having had it myself, the pain was ridiculous & even setting my feet on the ground was excruciating, so perhaps explains the rocked back stance. Mine was from an infected insect bite.

    Quiet cordless clipper recommendations please!

    I've had mine 3 years & they're still going strong. I keep them clean, try to ensure pony is clean & blades are well sharpened. New blades aren't necessarily sharp. I should probably send them off for a service. Are your blades clicked in properly? There's a wee knack to get them snapped in...

    Anyone have a 'life hack' for this issue?

    Put a tarpaulin or a sheet under his bowl & tip it back in the bowl at the end?

    Horrific incident

    Ah, she's still at Walton. Yes, I was there a good few years ago. I actually can't stop thinking about this, it's just horrific & the poor other driver too. I hope the police are involved.
