I have equimats. They must have been down 15 years now. I have thin ones and thick ones. The thin ones are in the less used stables and for the ponies. The thicker ones for the lami prone or bigger horses. They seem to have stood the test of time and never smell! So I would say worth the...

Agree,

I used westropp and would still do, if I was jumping/xc as they don't invert. Best boots ever for one that over reached on an old injury.

Padlock and chain on both sides of the gate stops anyone lifting it to steal the gate and thereby let the horses out.

Parelli...avoid.

Mine live out all year. They are only stabled if necessary. This could be the farrier coming the next day in winter, injury or a show. So reallisticallly, unless injured, they are stabled for my convenience, not theirs. But I have a lot of turnout. I can understand where turnout is limited they...
