I stick a cheap fleece under if really cold. Don’t need to very often these days though.

Mine is on Simple Systems haycare. https://www.simplesystemhorsefeeds.co.uk/feed/47/HayCare

Never tried them but reviews suggest going up a size. You could always exchange if they don’t fit.

My old Exmoor went off her food in the summer. She has always been a good eater. She did have a bad tooth to be fair but I have started feeding her this, as recommended by a friend with another old pony and she practically inhales it she likes it so much. Old ponies are such a worry. I have two...

Lansdown rugs used to use tinsel offcuts in the lining, idea was it reflected back the heat. Horses always toasty warm. Guess it is the same principle as the silver in the gloves.

Never tried the silver. I hope whatever you find works for you and it becomes manageable.

Spillers senior mash put weight back on mine or simple systems haycare if you just want the bulk without the calories. I had to give the two older ones three feeds during the summer as the grass was rubbish and one had asthma. I gave an extra feed of the haycare. (Both are 27)

If it helps you do learn what works for you, like anything we are all different. I was diagnosed at 12 and am knocking 62 now. Very rarely gives me trouble as I know how to manage it and recognise the signs of an attack. With me it is wet and cold and sudden change in temperature. I have even...

Very sorry you have had another blow. It could be some very deep seated soft tissue injury/abscess. My old horse was hopping lame for 8 months, x rays etc did not find anything. We chucked him out in the field and he came sound. He was 8 and I rode him until he was 27 and he lived to 29. No...

Why don’t you talk to chair of the Parish Council and ask them what the problem is?Chances are it is only one or two people who are stirring up trouble. Husband is chair of our Parish Council and he smooths issues like this all the time.

In the Saddle, or Equss Journeys, Ant’s Nest. Amazing place, horses very well looked after. Price depends on when you go, especially for flights, also cheaper if you book a long time ahead or fly via another country. Thoroughly recommend.
