    I was going to suggest a Whitaker hat, but then saw you didn't want one with a dial. Mine is super comfy and lightweight.

    What to do with old hay?

    Like others have said, I would use it as mulch. If you don't need it yourself, I'm sure you could give it to a keen gardener.

    Safety stirrups

    Get some toe cages. I suffer from flare ups of sciatica and they have been an absolute game changer for me. I wouldn't hack without them now.

    Mares v geldings

    Although my current loan horse is a gelding and he's great, I have always been drawn towards mares and seem to have more of a connection with them, for want of a better word. At a show today I noticed that around 80 percent of horses and ponies were geldings, and it got me thinking. Are people...

    I've lost my nerve ?

    Could you lead out in hand and hop on once you get off road for a bit, or go out extremely early on Sunday morning for a while until you build up your nerve again?

    Would you use a poo picking service?

    I am thinking of setting up a poo picking service to supplement my main income. Call me mad, but I find it quite therapeutic! Would this be a service you would use and if so, how much would you pay? Thanks in advance.

    Cheeky/ridiculous posts you see on Facebook.

    If I was local to you and didn't have my share mare, I would snap your hand off for an arrangement like this. I do think you are sometimes attract more serious types though if you charge a nominal fee. Doesn't have to be a lot, especially as she is green, maybe £10 a week or something like that.
