Thanks guys ill give them a try and muck out as you suggested to keep a base. Fingers crossed no more irritated boy. Gmw he had the injection and didn't help now vet has suggested feathers off and frontine so ill be trying that aswell as taking him off straw

Thankyou for the reply. I've been very tempted to buy half a pallet and think I will do. I have never bought bedding in bulk before and it's a lot of money if it wasn't to work for him. But as you say it's bound to be better than straw for him

First off I know there have been a lot of posts on this in the past but I have some questions that I've not been able to find the answer to before trying them.. 1. The main reason I'm looking at changing the bedding is that my horse suffers with feather mites and although he get treated for it...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll be leaving him alone for now and take him out as he is and see how we get on.. like bobbly said he still has some maturing to do so I'm in no rush. Thanks for the help and Ideas :)

Thankyou for the replies. Hogging him has crossed my mind but I'm not sure he has the ears for it ( they're massive) and I don't want him to look like a mule if I risk hogging him.. I suppose I'm in no rush to decide I just wanted some ideas as he doesn't seem to have a definite stamp to make it...

i havent measured him myslef yet but the lady i bought him off said she had measured him the week before i bought him and he was around 15.1 and a 1/2. hes still a little bum high ( not as bad as he looks on the pictures as hes stood downhill) but ive been wanting to measure him but havent got a...

I made the plunge this year and bought my first horse.. worked as a groom on different yards since school and rode since I was around 6 but never owned my own. So this year was the year I ventured into horsey ownership world! I bought myself a 4 yr old cob who had only been used for hacking with...

Yeah that's true. I was asking more for an idea of what I could do with him next year show wise. To me he hasn't enough mane of feather to show as a traditional and I'm tempted to take his feathers off and pull his mane to show him in coloureds. I don't think he has enough bone to clip hog and...

Thanks :) I feel a sense of relief now. I was starting to worry that I had made a mistake lol. It makes no difference to me who his parents are and I just want to bring him home now! It's going to be a long week...
