(sorry this may be long..) I have moved my horse a few months ago from a small yard where he was happy for 6 years. I have now moved him to another yard as I moved house which has a few more horses, but I have to walk through a footpath and a hilly field to his paddocks. He is very settled in...

In the early days when my horse was a pain and trying it on, the cost in getting everything he needed as he came with nothing and the shock to the system of the first winter having a horse, wading through mud in the dark in the pelting rain.

When I tell my boys to "walk or trot on" as we are crossing a road or for them to get a move on....

Do a patch test first but horses generally are fine using this oil and just spray when you need to hack out or in the field. The bottle is small though but deals can be found on Ebay if bulk buying.

Is the heat getting to everyone? Sarcastic comments and rudeness...good old H&H forum..lol :)
